Went over the GI protocol with the potential adopter and told her that the oral medication would be something that she would have to continue at home. She was ok with the treatment and will move forward with the adoption. She stated that she would like to use the wellness center here for her vaccines.

During am cleaning, Ellbell was vocal towards other dogs passing her kennel. She walked with a semi-loose leash and
neutral body. Passing kennel, she stood in front of the door with her front paw lifted, eyes dilated, tail wagging, ears up and vocalized.

When approaching kennel in the morning, I observed that she kept her kennel clean throughout the night. As i stepped into her kennel to grab her blanket I seen that she had her back hackles slightly raised and low growling. As I sat down with her and baby talked to her offering treats, she slowly rolled over and became submissive exposing her belly. When I slowly reach out to pet her she quickly jumped up and cowered away from me while low growling. I then stood up and leashed her to bring her outside where it was quieter, she walked on loose leash to the outside runs. We then went into the runs and I sat with her for a few minutes, she slowly warmed up to me and allowed me to pet her and gave me kisses on the cheek. She eventually exposed her belly once more and was able to pet her all over and became super wiggly. Just need to have someone that can work slowly with her and I believe her behavior will improve.
When I approached her kennel, Ellbell cowered and looked at me with whale eyes. She walked with her tail tucked to the outside runs on a loose leash very close to me. When I retrieved her from the outside runs, she was running from me and wouldn't let me leash her. She was not responding to baby talk so I had to firmly tell her to stay and then she pancaked and

I was able to leash her. She walked back in in a loose leash with her tail tucked. In the AM, dog was standing in the front of kennel with tense body, dilated eyes, and slow swaying tail. She walked out of kennel on a tight leash and with tense body and tucked tail. When placing her back in the kennel I tried to remove the leash but she got tense and raised her lip, unable to remove leash.

when i approched dog in the kennel i noticed she had painted his kenenl and when i leashed her she tried to jump on me and pull on the leash as i walked her she walked on tight leash and in the run she roamed running back and forth back in her kennel dog walked in and stood in front of the kennel.

Ellbell displayed loose body wagging tail, offering play bows, does jump, but is very respectful of verbal and visual
boundaries. When she gets too hyped up, she will jump on me but with a verbal \"AH!\" and pause in play while looking away at her she gets off immediately, and I continue play once that boundary is respected. This is called Redlight/Greenlight training game.

She is very affectionate, approaching me and offering her side while leaning on me and will melt into a belly rub.
She did seem interested in interacting with dogs on the other side of the kennels that were running up and down the fence trying to play. She began to mimic the behavior with a loose flowing bouncing stride and high flagging tail. she was able to redirect herself via scents when she got too aroused with the visual of the dogs trying to play through the fence
