02/18/2016 WEB MEMO
A SI ACC volunteer writes: Sweet submissive Delilah is one of my favorites at the shelter, her calm demeanor really sets her apart from the other loud barking dogs. Delilah sits patiently in her kennel watching everyone come and go. When its her turn outside she walks beautifully on leash, doing her business as soon as we exit the building, she sits for treats and takes them so gently I can barely feel it through my gloved hand. Delilah is beautiful with a greyish brown coat and the saddest brown eyes you’ll ever see. She is an absolute treasure, if your looking for a sweet heart of a dog look no further Delilah is for you. Please come to SIACC and meet her. Another volunteer writes: Sweet Delilah is barely one year old. She has lots of years of love in store for you if you adopt her. She will brighten your home if you will just give her a chance. Come meet Delilah. She is awaiting your visit at the Brooklyn Center!

Finder describes her as affectionate, constantly wagging tail. During intake, Delilah was very friendly, soliciting attention, allowed all handling. She pulled very hard on leash during her relief walk. Delilah was friendly and social upon entering the SAFER assessment area. She held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, tail wagging.
