Had a really nice fence meet with Thessia. Jay had me laughing as he was barking at his own shadow! (see video!) Per staff 4/16: “Took Jay out for a dog meet, he was very easy to leash, walks great, jumped on my lap for pets, allowed all handling, took treats gently. He has a lot of energy and was very excited to meet the other dog. Would make a great running partner!” Per staff 4/15: “Took Jay out for evaluation, no issues in crate, was easy to leash, went for walk, allowed pets, jumped in my lap and handled all handling.” Per staff 4/15: “Unable to check dog is due to behaviors such as hard barking followed by lunging at the front of the cage.” Per staff 4/14: “Unable to complete intake due to behavior.
