12/16/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
12/16/15 18:19 Behavior during intake: This dog was kind of submssive at the start of the intake process. His tail was between his legs and his ears were back. I got down to his level and he came over and his tail started to wag. He allowed me to pick him up and carry him. He allowed me to collar him and take his photo. The dog was hesitant to come out of the room but did.
12/19/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Wag, wag, wag… a friendly tail attached to a little sausage dog and how could I resist? Little Devi is a cute as can be, happy to make a new friend, housetrained, an amazingly good walker for a little senior dude, and as sweet as can be. He enjoyed some treats, taking them softly, happily met a couple of gentle big (very big!) dogs with a wagging tail and is a total delight. I was shocked to find out his estimated age as I would have guessed years younger. He’s pretty special and looking for his retirement home. If you think you can keep up with this little guy come meet him today.
