Evaluation Notes: 10/26/2026 - Play Group Dog was nervous in the kennel with a tense body and tucked ears. She retreated upon approach and growled at handler entering the kennel. She sniffed the slip leash and was able to be leashed. She walked outside easily and adjusted with a wagging tail, loose body, and tucked ears. She co-existed with other male and female dogs in the play yard. She was interested to come over to handler for affection and laying in their lap receiving belly rubs with a loose body and wagging tail. She growled at other dogs that approached her and was not interested to interact face to face with other dogs. She was easily returned to kennel.
