Dog Day Out Report
Today I met a new friend! I was very excited when I came out of the kennel, but I was a good boy and sat still while he put on my collar and harness. I hopped right into his car and he took me to Jeffrey Fontana Park. We went on a big walk together, and saw so many exciting things! There were lots of other dogs on the trail, and I really wanted to play with them… maybe next time. There were squirrels teasing me up in the trees - wish I could have chased them. After we were finished with the walk I was feeling pretty tuckered out, so I settled down for a nice nap in the back seat on the way back.

Three Words to Describe Me are:
Enthusiastic
Sweet
Playful
Notes from My Walker: I had a great time with Beef Taco! It looks like he has gotten better at walks since the last time he was taken out. He did pull on his leash for the first half hour, but after that he settled down and was really easy to walk. He also didn’t react at all to bicyclists and cars, and while he wanted to play with the other dogs we saw, he didn’t pull too hard on his leash or whine when they went past. He checked in with me frequently, and really appreciated all the attention I gave him. I think he’d do very well in an active household.



DDO from week of October 20th.

Today I: met a new friend, and I was so excited that I couldn`t stop jumping up and down while she tried to put on my collar and harness. Once I was ready, I eagerly hopped into the car all by myself, and we headed to Coyote Creek Trail. There were so many amazing things to see—dogs running, people jogging, and bikes whizzing by. The passing bikes made me a bit nervous, but my friend gave me treats every time one passed, which helped me feel calmer. I got super excited when I spotted squirrels and really wanted to say hi to them! When other dogs passed by, I was curious and eager to greet them too. I made sure to sniff every patch of grass and discovering new scents all along the way. On the ride back to the shelter, I settled in for a long, peaceful nap in the car, feeling completely relaxed and content.

Three Words to Describe Me are: friendly, curious, energetic

Notes from My Walker: Beef Taco is a highly energetic dog and would thrive in a very active household. He’s still learning basic commands and gets so excited that he loves to jump on me. He eagerly hopped into my car all on his own, ready for adventure. During our walk, h
