Videos: BillyBob & Scarlett: https://youtu.be/V4C9lOF-Ck0 Behavioral Notes 07/07/2026 Per volunteer: What a good boy Billybob is! He was easy to leash and return to his kennel. He pulls moderately while walking. Once in the yard, he did a lot of sniffing and marking. He met a dog through the fence, his tail remaining mid-level and his mouth opened and relax. He'd disengage on his own and re-engage with the same relaxed body language. He leaned in for pets on his back. He's got a great smile!!! 07/07/2026 per staff: Got BillyBob checked in. In the exam room, sniffed around for a second before the doctor came over and kneeled down. He went over to her mid to low wagging tail, ears back, and sat in front of her leaning his body into her. Tolerated his exam with ears back, closed mouth, softer eyes. Lip licked once with wider eyes when the doctor was feeling around his underside. Very food motivated and took treats gently. We were able to get all vaccines and a microchip done easily with some cream cheese on the door. When other staff in the room kneeled down he went over to them with loose body, low tail wags, ears back and leaned into them sitting in front of them. 07/07/2026 per staff behavioral eval: Kennel Presentation: In his crate, tail tucked, ears back, ate the treats that we offered.
