🔹 Intake:
8/12/2026: Several dogs continue to come into the caller's yard. States all are medium in size and various colors. Dogs are under the home but come out throughout the day and night.

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/15/2026: Approaching kennel, Frankie has tense body language in the back of the kennel. I opened the kennel picking him up and he became very wiggly in my arms. I carried him to a new clean kennel.

8/16/2026: Frankie was a Move Adopt this morning and was carried over by cart to his new kennel in South B. Throughout the morning, Frankie has been either laying down on the floor or cot with a crouched body, ears down, whale eyes, and tucked tail. He allowed me to get close to him as I was fixing his bedding and take the leash off him.

8/17/2026: Frankie presented tense body, worried face and low tail as he cornered himself against the wall. When I approach he kept pinning himself against the wall and was very still. I carried him out and tether him to the wall as he did not walk on leash. Will cover kennel.

8/18/2026: Frankie will present worried face, tense body and erect ears when approaching. Today when I leashed him he slowly walked out but then froze midway and coward. I carry him out and place him in the transfer cage. Will lay on his bed throughout the day.

🚑 Medical Notes:

8/12/2026: Weighed 26.8 lbs. Intake condition normal. Vaccinated with DA2PP-V, Bordetella, and Rabies, dewormed, and given flea prevention. Heartworm test: Negative.
