Klara A5804228 (Intact) timidly approached the runner upon arrival and sniffed the leash when it was presented to her. She was a little wary of the leash during placement, repeatedly moving her head away. Once leashed, Klara then exited the kennel on her own and proceeded to make her way to the catch pen with a light pull on the leash, appearing concerned in the kennel environment. She received a collar and leash inside the catch pen without issue. Klara was then allowed into the yard, where she ignored the dogs who came forward to greet her, preferring to explore the yard while exhibiting a slightly tense posture. She eventually sat in a corner, showing little interest in the other dogs. Klara appeared comfortable around the handlers, occasionally approaching them to solicit affection. For the remainder of the session, she coexisted peacefully, tolerating the dogs from a distance. Once the session concluded, she was returned to her kennel without incident. Due to her nervous nature, Klara could benefit from a companion who will respect her boundaries and allow her to interact at her own comfort level.
