Shelter Staff:

10/20/26 21:47 Two stray (no owner info/microchip) female Jindo mixes captured. Catchpole utilized due to temperament. White Jindo bit and thrashed pole. Unable to obtain weight due to dogs thrashing on catchpole.

10/22/26 10:46 Low growling, fled to back of kennel when approached. Quieted as I remained kennelside but continued glancing around at neighboring kennels as noise levels rose. Tossed treats, ended interaction. Will continue visiting.

10/23/26: Dog continues to present as fearful, flighty. Low growls if interaction is pushed.

10/28/26 – Fear levels remain high. Closed inside and dropped on lead. Once outside of kennel began to spin on lead and attempted to chew through it. Moved lead to back of jaw and began chewing sideways. Would not decompress and remained frantic. Began redirecting towards body. Had to utilize defensive handling and call for a spotter to get back to kennel. Removed lead with extender. We will be unable to show to the public with these current behaviors.

10/29/26 – Behavior unchanged

10/30/26 – Behavior unchanged – Is not adapting to handlers or environment.

Since intake, Kellie has shown unsocial and frantic behaviors during interactive moments with handlers. She becomes so overwhelmed that she bites at the leash in attempts to flee from handler. Showing to the public would not be doable given her big reaction towards small triggers. Kellie appears to have been undersocialized and has been unable to adapt to her new surroundings and handlers. Rescue placement preferred.
