AL #A5796803 3yrs neutered 95 Ibs.
Stray 8/22/26
Play Style: PUSH/PULL
Sociability: SOCIAL
Home with adults only recommended
LARGE DOGS OK

Al (Intact) was at the front of the kennel with a relaxed demeanor, wagging his tail softly. He became excited after the leash was presented and attempted to force his way out of the kennel. He settled with the use of a pet corrector tool, allowing himself to be leashed easily. (He was labeled overaroused for that).
When one of the female dogs invited him to play, Al began to perform play bows before joining her in chase play.

This led Al to join a group of playful dogs, keeping up pace with his friends.
For the remainder of the session, he maintained a social demeanor with everyone in the yard.
Handling: AL stood still with a relaxed pant and a neutral body, allowing his ears, mouth, tail, abdomen, and legs to be handled. However, Al became highly uncomfortable anytime his legs were touched. He relaxed once his legs were released.
They also labeled AL barrier reactive for barking at a dog in the neighboring kennel while he was being returned to his own kennel.

Vinny #A2095707
9/9 Stray - Field | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 2Y | 53.5
Ibs | HW Negative

Volunteer Notes:

Shelter Notes:
9/17: Vinny stood at the front of his kennel door with a loose, relaxed body and high-wagging tail. Staff noted that he walks well on a loose leash.

9/29: Tapeworms were seen. Vinny was treated with praziquantel

9/27: Vinny was sneezing and had a honking cough.
He was diagnosed with CIRD/URI, moved to the treatment room and prescribed doxycycline 250 mg once daily for 10 days.

9/23: Medical exam documented as normal.

9/9: Vinny weighed 53.5 Ibs. His medical exam was documented as normal. He is heartworm negative.

Vinny is a friendly, relaxed boy whose shelter notes show some very encouraging behavior despite being in a stressful environment. When staff approached his kennel, Vinny was waiting at the front with a loose, relaxed body and happily wagging tail.
Even better, staff specifically noted that he walks well on a loose leash! There are no concerning behavior notes documented in his record. Medically, Vinny has been treated for tapeworms and is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection, both of which are manageable conditions. This handsome boy would likely benefit greatly from a home where he can recover, decompress and show even more of his personality outside of the shelter.

Please contact BARC if you are local and can help!
