Takeela (ACCT-A-163041) is a 1-year-old female who came in as an owner surrender on 5/4, due to having too many dogs and not being able to provide for them all. She came in with her sibling Splotch (ACCT-A-163043). The owners described Takeela as "skittish, curious, sneaky and indicated that though she's playful toward strangers and curious about cats, she's been observed to be reactive around children. In-shelter, Takeela and Splotch have shown signs of heightened fear, anxiety, and stress and would benefit from more dedicated care in a calmer environment. The two are not bonded and can be placed separately. Behavioral Notes: Staff Note on 5/9- Very easy to leash up and did not pull when walking out of the kennels. A little hesitant when first getting to run and took a few minuets to open up. Spent a few minutes sniffing around and after becoming familiar with her surroundings she started to open up. No interest in squeaky toys but loves to play ball. Brings ball back to handler and allows handler to easily take ball. Saw a dog and was a little interested, tail wagging. Another staff brought out Flynn, Takeela was a little shy at first and ran back to handler but eventually went up to the fence and was sniffing with tail wagging. Staff did a walk together and she was good at gently correcting Flynn. She tried to initiate play a few times with Flynn. Was very good with walking back into the kennels and needed a little encouragement going back into her kennel. Volunteer notes 5/9: Takeela seems crate trained, goes right in and is super calm lying down in her crate! During Takeela's behavioral assessment on 5/5, staff noted: "Very cautious, take things nice and slow for her. Not really a fan of pets at the moment but allows all handling. No kids due to owner notes and tense body language. Medical Notes: During Takeela's intake exam on 5/5, staff found her to be in good general health and "sweet, friendly, food motivated.
