Behavior notes:
Per Volunteer 9/15/24:
When I approached her kennel she greeted me by jumping up on the kennel doors, very wiggly and excited! I had to keep the loop high so that her paws didn't get caught when I leashed her, since she was jumping up. While walking through kennels she was a bit overstimulated and was jumping up on the other dogs' kennels. Outside in the play yard she liked prancing around and was pretty active! Most interested in sniffing the smells rather than interacting with me. Not very interested in treats today. She did the photoshoot and was very attentive to sounds and the people passing by. Barked at dogs as we passed. She pulls quite a bit on leash and would recommend a harness!

9/13/24 volunteer notes: Silver Fox was eating a treat when I approached the kennel and looked up at me with soft eyes. She was very easy to leash and hopped down politely. She is excited and pulls on a leash and might benefit from some leash training or a harness. She would be a great running buddy!! Didn't show off any skills today or take treats- did like squeaky toys. Mostly did her own thing in the yard and sniffed around. She got excited seeing new people walking along the fence and wanted to meet them. She's a beautiful dog!
