[YELLOW]Background: Brought in stray by finder on 8/27/26. Finder reported that this dog and a female shepherd had been roaming in the neighborhood for one week. Dog was scared to get in the car, hyper and loud (barking, whining) while riding in the car. Dog was given yellow dot on intake. Staff were able to handle dog for intake procedures without issues, but this dog did not want to leave the kennel, was whining and anxious throughout intake, and difficult to rekennel. Summary of shelter handling notes from staff and volunteers: O: Soft face, loose wagging tail at the kennel door. Easy to leash. Hesitant to exit kennel; motivated by high-value food. Takes treats with a soft mouth. Lowered/crouched body language walking through the building. Observed feral cats approximately 20 feet away while walking on leash. Dog darted to the end of the leash, lunging and barking with piloerection from shoulder to base of tail. Distracted with silly noises as handler lead her away. In the yard, mild pulling on leash. Sniffs and walks. Stood at the fence with some whining. When handler crouched, dog immediately approached, leaned into pets all over head, ears, neck, chest and shoulders with relaxed body musculature and soft eye contact. Leaned in for pets after consent checks. No elimination outside. Entered kennel ahead of handler. No issues removing slip leash by hand while petting dog around the neck and head. During staff outing in a yard with kennelmate present, both dogs approached handler readily for all over handling. This dog leaned against handler for more than 5 minutes in relaxed interaction, leaning full relaxed body weight against handler. Ran to the fence to bark at another dog. Called back using squeaker. Dog passed by handler on return and did not interact unless for affection when handler was in a crouched position in the yard. A: Anxious, underconfident, but affiliative young dog. High energy. Shows enjoyment with pets. Knows sit. Treat motivated. Yellow for volunteer handling: dog is timid and anxious on kennel exit and while walking through the building. Some exit/owner searching. Dog is affiliative and relaxed with handling otherwise.P: Make available for adoption. Friendly, energetic, anxious juvenile, will need continued appropriate socialization with new people, places and other animals. Recommend adopters continue to work on basic manners (leash skills, recall, sit) using a patient, reward-based training approach. Training should begin immediately before unwanted behaviors develop. Adopter must be prepared for the time, energy, patience and commitment needed to raise and train an active, juvenile large dog. Unknown how this dog will behave around children.[2026-09-02 03:50:00.000]
