9/28/2026: Grandson got arrested, left dogs in her yard. 4 Bulldogs, 1 mom and 3 puppies. Senior citizen can’t take care of them, having allergic reactions to dogs

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

9/29/2026: Approaching kennel, dog is lo growling with tense face and curling lip as I attempt to leash. Once she was, she ca,me out and scurried out with low hanging tail and worried facial expression. Once retrieving from run, dog held a much loose body and swaying tail.

9/30/2026: Dog was at the front of the kennel wagging tail, soft face and loose body. As I leashed she walked out of the kennel and followed me out to the runs holding a semi-loose leash, wagging tail and soft face. Walked to and from the runs no issues

10/2/2026: Zinnia walks on a semi-tight leash and shows no interest in treats. While in the kennel, Zinnia will sometimes growl and lunge at the front of the kennel when walking past kennel with and/or without a dog.

10/4/2026: Zinnia was standing in front of the kennel gate with a wiggling body, ears up, fast wagging tail, and dilated eyes. She was walked on a semi-loose leash and friendly to and from the outside runs. Once back in her kennel, when she saw a customer peaking over her sheet she would vocalize towards them until they left her sight. Later in the afternoon, she did the same thing to me but once I opened the kennel and babytalk to her she was presented with a wiggling body and fast wagging tail.

10/2/2026: Dog is in the back of the kennel tensed body, worried face and tail pressed against body. I was able to walk in and leash but he just sat there not wanting to walk out, I baby talked and offered treats which he took and only walked to the front of the kennel but not wanting to walk out of the kennel. I had to carry to the next kennel

10/3/2026: dog at the back of the kennel trembling,lip licking. As i leash him he slowly came foward then froze. I tied him against the wall as I clean his kennel. Once i finished, he army crawled back into his kennel.

10/4/2026: 10/04/26 10:48 Able to get him to wag tail with baby talk, but completely shut down and wouldn’t walk on leash. Picked him up, no muzzle needed, and carried out to run and he pottied once set down. Army crawled a bit to me when I came back but wouldn’t walk far, so carried him back inside and into kennel.
