💜 Volunteer Notes:

Lisa is happy and hoppy and all the things I’d expect of a healthy, young dog! She was v ready to get outside and burn off some energy in the run, and she happily met both a male and female pup. She enjoyed fetching a tennis ball and was selectively treat motivated (she has taste okay 💁🏻‍♀️). After a few minutes of sniffing around the run, she would come over and lean in for pets and affection. She seems to know how to sit for treats and how to fetch. Lisa is only on the list for length of stay, meaning she’s been so well behaved during her stay at BARC. She has so much more life to live and deserves to find a family that recognizes and cherishes that!

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Lisa is only 13 months old. Although she was initially reported to be barking and charging people on the property where she was found, her shelter behavior has been much softer.

Lisa can be timid but accepts pets and treats. She has greeted staff with soft eyes, an open-mouth smile and a low wagging tail. She walks fairly well on leash, keeps her kennel clean and relaxes quietly on her cot.

🙏 At only 13 months old, Lisa has her whole life ahead of her. She has shown that beneath her uncertainty is a sweet young dog who accepts affection and wants to feel safe. Please foster, adopt, rescue or share Lisa before it’s too late.

Approaching the kennel, Lisa was sitting on her cot watching as I approached her kennel. She stood up and greeted me with a open mouth smile, forward body, soft eyes, and low wagging tail. She did a good job of keeping her kennel clean overnight. Lisa was walked on a semi-loose leash due to forward pulling on the leash slightly to and and from the outside runs.

En mi país están cuestionando mucho sobre las razas grandes opinando que son muy peligrosos, yo creo que los rott son incapaces de hacer daño ala familia y menos a los niños

Ethel is a year old!

She rode home on the center console and has never figured out the size difference.
