๐ Shelter Notes:
5/10/2026: A bit timid but friendly. Walked with loose leash, tail tucked when passing other dogs. Sat out at the run gate, loose leash back inside and into kennel. Another dog was lunging and snarling at her when walking back in, and she stopped with tail tucked, was reaching neck trying to sniff him, setting him off further. Had to pull her away.
5/12/2026: dog was behind the kennel and as i leashed her she walked slowly out the kennel and as i baby talked and other act was standing behind her she walked and as i placed her in the run she roamed and going back to her she came to the front and i walked her lose leash back inside.
5/13/2026: Greeted me at the front of her kennel with a closed mouth, soft eyes, and neutral body, and a soft wagging tail when baby talked. Easily leashed, walked with loose leash outside to the runs. Mostly kept to self outside in the runs. Easily leashed and returned to kennel.
5/17/2026: Painted in kennel in the am after am feeding. Was nonstop jumping up and high pitched vocalizing throughout am cleaning. I was able to leash them she walked loosely to the runs. As I walked away she began to be vocal again. Walked back to kennel loosely. Placing on AE to monitor.
5/18/2026: Fed in the am and spot cleaned to prevent penny from painting. Penny painted in kennel after feeding , panting heavily in front of kennel with dilated pupils. I leashed her up and walked her outside. She was stressed out while being outside and began to high pitch bark. I brought her back in and moved her kennel closer to where i start cleaning in the am to see if taking her out first will help prevent her from stressing out. As I placed into new kennel she was high pitched vocalizing in kennel.
5/19/2026: Penny was high pitched barking in kennel in the am. I was able to leash , she was little flinchy with whale eyes, once leashed walked her out to the runs. Once I placed her in the run she went on to go sniff around in the grassy area. As I came back for her she had dilated pupils with heavy panting and appears to be stressed out. I walked her back to kennel. After am walking she began jumping up in kennel vocalizing. Kennel was covered and had offered enrichment before heading to lunch. As I came back to check on her she had painted her kennel and spilled her water everywhere in her kennel where her bedding was soaked. I took her out to the runs to clean kennel and she was vocalizing in the run pacing back and forth. I had to offer her a bucket instead to try and help prevent her from spilling her water again.
