⸻
Behavior Notes:
Rizzo is a gentle, sensitive girl who is still adjusting to the shelter environment. She approaches new situations with a semi-tense body, low tail, and cautious demeanor, but she allows staff to leash her easily and walks calmly. She occasionally freezes while walking, suggesting she's overwhelmed rather than difficult. Before arriving at the shelter, Rizzo was found peacefully roaming a petrochemical facility, where she sought out food from workers but was never reported to be aggressive.
