PLAYGROUP:

Sheena was brought in as a stray, but the finder reported Sheena was respectful with her small dog. In a group of male and female dogs, Sheena is nervous-tucked rear and lip licking. She is tolerant of a sexually motivated male persistently licking her genitals and does not react when a female dog jumps on her back, and muzzle punch her. She calmly explores the pen the rest of the rest the session.

INTAKE BEHAVIOR

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:

During her medical examination, Sheena was loose and wiggly, friendly, she allowed all handling.

ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Sheena so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
