Behavior Notes
Per volunteer 9/17: Cassie was eager to go outside and had her paws on the bars as I approached her kennel, but was calm and let me take them off the bars and leash her. She was a little jumpy on the way outside but calmed down once we got to an open run. She loved treats, pets, and sniffing around, but wouldn't engage with any toys. There was a lot going on, but the noises didn't bother her. Cassie is so sweet!
Volunteer noted:
9/14/24 We took Cassie out for some sun and fun. She was easy to get in and out of her kennel. What a pretty, energetic young girl. She loved running around with toys, enjoyed being snuggled and is a fan of treats. She was quite enthusiastic about treats but not snatchy. Come and meet this beautiful girl today!
Per staff 9/10/24: Cassie was super sweet while in the lobby, solicited attention from multiple workers
Per Day Trip 9/13/24: She was super sweet! We went for a few long walks and she loved getting pets from everyone. She loves cuddles- we went to the park and she laid down right my lap. She seems like the type of dog who'd be perfectly content playing for a bit and then cuddling up on the couch with you. She also did great on the car rides. I didn't want to bring her back at the end of the day! she really was the sweetest:)
Per Volunteer 9/14/24: Was lounging when I went to take her out but jumped up very excited when I walked over w leash. Jumped a little when I first got her out but mellowed out a ton. Was nervous at first but opened up and then demanded pets and cuddled up right next to me, also wanting chin scratches. Pooped right when we got outside. Enjoyed playing w toys but wasn't always sure what to do w them. Didn't seem to know any commands. Such a sweet pretty face!
