For exercise, Mimi would be taken on off leash walks outside. When on the leash, Mimi does not pull at all. She does well being off leash and will stay by the owners side.

Behavior during intake: Mimi was nervous during intake and let out a growl when I approached her. After a few minutes I tried approaching her again and was able to scan for a mc, collar and take Mimi’s picture without any issues. She kept lip licking during intake and but was more relaxed when I approached her slowly.

9/19: When off leash at the care center, Mimi greets a few dogs in a group but mostly keeps to herself and explores the room.
