📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
7/30/2026: This dog greeted me at the kennel door trembling and avoiding eye contact. She let me leash her but was hesitant to walk. With patience I was able to get her to walk halfway to a new kennel where she froze and had to be carried the rest of the way. Inside her kennel she could be seen laying quietly against the back wall.
7/29/2026: Greeted me in the back of the kennel with a tense body and whale eyes. I leashed her and she began thrashing, baby-talked to her and was able to pet her, but she refused to walk, so I changed out her blankets instead.
