Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Daisy is a sweet but timid young dog who needs time to build trust. Initially hesitant to come out of her kennel, she approached when she saw the leash. She showed discomfort at doorways and required coaxing, but gained confidence as we walked. While she avoided handling, especially with her paws, she responded well to cues like "sit" and "down."

Daisy exhibited moderate stability with everyday objects, though she was particularly scared of the umbrella. During play, she was initially confused but eventually joined in and played fetch with a tennis ball, though she was frightened by the squeaky toys.

When meeting a stranger, Daisy was hesitant but soon tried to play. In interactions with another dog, she was curious yet scared, initially positioning herself behind me but eventually attempting to approach, though she never fully engaged.
