Additional Notes:
03/15/2026:
Leash Skills: Really great on leash

Sociability: In the play yard she was very wiggly and likes to wiggle over to me to solicit out pets. She took pets all over her body! She is very treat motivated and tried to sniff them out of my fanny pack. She takes them gently and doesn't even seem like she really likes them that much like she's about to spit them out. Overall, just a very wiggly girl with a very sweet disposition! Gets a little jumpy, but it's all very gentle where she seems like she's just looking for love.

Play: Playful girl who likes to chase around toys and seems fine with me approaching her with them. We played tug with a rope toy, and her body remained very loose and wiggly.

Dog Interaction: Grabbed her from another volunteer who had her out for a dog meet and said she did really well with a very bouncy play style.

Return to Kennel: Very easily went into kennel

Color Level: Giving gold color as she was very easy for handling and very sweet with some jumping

Playgroup 3/10: Steerable with water (4/5) and shake can (3/5). During gate greetings: low-to-mid-level wags & sniff with Elsa. Slow & steady entry into yard, mid-level wags near handlers. Remained generally handler-oriented, gentle/dainty, independent -- Elsa and Otis were on the other end of the play yard, but she didn't bother to go over and investigate. Eventually Elsa approached and Coco appropriately greeted her, then began soliciting play with play bows. Elsa eventually gave her a grumble, and Coco put her attention elsewhere.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
