The Behavior Department recommends that Enoch be placed in a home with dogs that match his gentle play style and that a dog-dog interaction be conducted to ensure compatibility. 10/15: Enoch greets the novel female dog displaying neutral body language. He mostly keeps to himself as he wanders in the pen. He is tolerant of the female dog’s face to face greetings. 10/17: Enoch was much more animated today, jumping up onto the gate towards the other dogs with a wiggly body.
