She had soft eyes and a neutral tail wag as she leaned against the handler?s leg while the collar was clasped around her neck. She was tense with concerned eyes as she greeted several dogs through the play yard fence. She entered the yard with a low tail and low head. She spent a few moments calmly exploring the perimeter fence, avoiding the other dogs. She tucked her tail and turned her head away as a female pit bull came up calmly. She resumed exploring and began to relax as more dogs came up to greet her. She began exchanging good nose-to-nose greetings with all the dogs. She spent several minutes roaming with a small group. She was wary of the handlers and would stop and whine or growl if they approached her. After a few minutes, a handler kneeled in front of her and coaxed her. She came up slowly with a low head and allowed her head to be rubbed. She then leaned against the handler as he rubbed her back, neck and chin. She then spent a few more minutes roaming with a group of dogs. The same handler walked back up to her and extended his hand towards her. She became wary again and began growling and scooted away. She would also bark defensively at any person she noticed walking outside of the play yard and lightly growl. She needs confidence building. She did not display any play style while in the yard.

She had low wags and soft eyes as a handler walked her into the catch pen. She began to solicit affection, leaning into the handler. She remained loose as the handler looked in her ears, viewed her teeth, held her tail and held her front paws. She was not comfortable with her rear paws being touched as she closed her mouth with ears back and looked at the handler with wide eyes. She relaxed as her rear paws were released and resumed seeking affection. She was taken back to her kennel without issue. BEHAVIORALLY OK FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION, ADULTS (REC), CALM DOGS (REC), LOW ENERGY
