Muffler's care needs are:
[YELLOW]Brought in stray by finder on 9/24/26 along with four other dogs of the same age. Dogs appear to be siblings and were found as a group. Given yellow dot on intake. Staff noted dogs were Green dot for handling, allowed all handling for intake including vaccines. Made Yellow dot only because they do not walk well on leash. Dogs were carried into the intake room. Handling evaluation based on review of volunteer and staff notes to date.O: Dog retreats in kennel. Approaches handlers for food or baby talk. Soft while accepting pets all around head and neck. Accepts leash placed over head. Follows handler with verbal encouragement or treats. Backs away or pancakes with any leash pressure. Walks well following handler. Takes treats with a soft mouth. Handled on his head, ears, neck, chest and shoulders, received with soft eyes and face. Nudged at hands after pause for consent check. Put paws up on handler when offered treat. Follows tossed treats. Did not know sit cue, but learned in one outing. Returns to kennel without issues and relaxed while handling around head and neck for removal of slip leash.A: Approaches handler readily and shows enjoyment with pets. Jumps up and makes soft contact for attention/treats. Does not appear to know any commands, but attentive to handler and learned sit in one outing. Appears to be unfamiliar with walking on leash. No issues kenneling. Yellow for volunteer handling: dog is somewhat avoidant of leashing and does not walk well on leash. Consider for Green if recommended by volunteers.B P: Make available for adoption. Recommend adopters continue to work on basic manners (leash skills, recall, sit) using a patient, reward-based training approach. Unknown how this dog may behave around children. Adopters should be aware that this dog may have no previous training and little socialization with people and/or other animals outside of his own family group.[2026-09-27 11:48:00.000]
