On meds for skin issues/allergies, will need further assessment on return from Foster. Jumpy right when getting out of her kennel and when greeting people. Taking treats. Knows "sit." Playful but not super into toys. Will run to them if you throw them, but then she leaves them there. Whining at people outside of the window. Allowed handling, but she ducked her head and turned away when I touched her ears. They looked a little red. Friendly towards any staff that she saw (would run up and jump on them to greet them). Gentle when taking treats. Not interested in soup bone but liked the pig ear.  Lots of zoomies. Likes playing with people
