Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

Basic Information:  Lilac is a red brown and white medium mixed breed dog. She is estimated to be about 10 years old. She was brought in as a stray after she was found in a backyard.

How is this dog around strangers?  Lilac is friendly around strangers, but becomes frightened and begins to whine if hes picked up. She allowed her finders to pet her.

Medical Notes;  Lilac might be blind, and she is extremely skinny.

Behavior Notes:  Upon intake, Lilac was circling her finder. She bumped in to my leg and leaned against it when I walked up to her. She allowed me to pet her, but began to whine and struggle when her finder picked her up and I tried to leash her. She did not respond when I held the collar up to her face, but tensed up and backed away when she felt that I was putting it around her neck. I had to carry her in to her kennel. She walked around her kennel for a bit before settling down.

Details on my behavior are…
