No wounds or blood visualized on dog, but since laying down could be missing. Due to behavior did not remove from kennel for full exam.

(4/7) Volunteer observations -- Junior presented at the front of his kennel with four paws on the floor. He initially backed away when door was opened, but came forward for a treat. He accepted the treat gently and allowed handler to leash him. Dog transitioned through the kennel area and building with no issue. Walked past multiple dogs in kennel with no interest. Walked nicely on the leash with min/mod pulling. Entered large play yard with no issue. Interested in sniffing perimeter of yard. Not overly interested in handler, although very engaged for cheese or tennis balls. Junior liked playing fetch and loosened up while playing. Dog meet: Calm during walk along, didn't attempt to engage or pull towards other dog. Was interested when we stopped on the grass to introduce. He did not react negatively when snapped at. He instead started sniffing the grass and avoided the other dog. Meet ended and returned to kennel with no issue. (4/1) Per Vet Staff -- dog is trembling in kennel, very scared, low growling(4/1) Lifesaving Eval -- sat on outside of kennel for about 5-10 minutes giving high value treats. Dog remained at front of kennel taking treats. Opened kennel door and sat at opening. Dog still stayed at the front of the kennel taking treats very nicely and started eating treats directly from handlers hand. Handler was then able to easily leash dog. Dog was leashed and exited kennel without any problems. Pulls hard on leash when walking, but no further issues. When handler entered run dog explored and sniffed around - dog was aloof to handler most of the time, but did solicit attention a few times and nicely sniffed handlers hand. Handler was able to pet dog at this time, but did not attempt any further handling. Dog met another dog through the fence and perked up with a wagging tail. No issues going back into kennel, handler was able to remove slip lead without any problems. Evaled Blue.(4/1) Per Staff -- Unable to remove from kennel at this time after 3 days on Trazadone.
