Kaylah arrives

We've had Kaylah for 2.5 hours now. This is what we've learned about her:

• Summary: Kaylah is a friendly dog who gets along well with kids, adults, and other dogs. She pulls hard on her leash and needs basic obedience training.
  
• She is polite with everybody she meets, human and canine. No sign of aggression or fear. She doesn't enthusiastically rush up to greet people. She has a calm, polite presence and happily lets people pet her.
  
• She is great with kids. She played outside with our neighbor's kids aged 5-12, and she did fine with all of them. She let them pull on her hair/ears and didn't complain. She dragged the older ones around the yard on her leash. She is more careful around little kids than our own big dog, but she does not know her own strength. She towed around kids (even pulled them over a couple times) when she was on a mission to go somewhere on leash.
  
• We took her to a neighbor's house to see how she reacts to cats. She was highly interested in the cats, not in an aggressive or predatory manner, but she walked right up to a couple of them and stuck her nose in their face. One cat rolled over and batted its paws at her, and she stuck her nose in to get a deeper whiff. I pulled her away. I can't tell whether to recommend her to a family with cats or not. We may have to try again sometime for longer to see if she pursues the cats or will eventually settle down and ignore them.
• She doesn't seem to know her name or any commands other than sit. If we have her full attention and say sit, she will often do it. She does not know how to lie down, heel, or come on command yet.
• She pulls hard on her leash. Instead of walking along the sidewalk, she was very distracted by things along the path and kept trying to dart off to investigate them.
• She is obsessed with squirrels and rabbits along our walk and pulls hard towards them.
  
• We hooked her up together with our big dog who's trained to pull a a person on a scooter. Kaylah pulled very well in harness, but she kept getting distracted and leaving the trail to go sniff things, so we didn't get very far on the scooter. Given how hard she likes to pull, after some training, I think that Kaylah would be good at sports involving pulling (dog scootering, skijoring, wagon pulling).
  
• When a neighbor brought his dog over for a visit, Kaylah politely said hi, then went upstairs for a while. Before the neighbor left again, she came down to say hello again.
• She seems accustomed to being allowed up on furniture. She's tried jumping up on my bed and couch already. I had to pull her back down. She now seems to respect that I don't want her up there.
• Even after showing her where the two doggie water bowls in our house are, it looked like she was about to drink out of the toilet once until I called her away.
  
• After playing outside for a couple of hours, I brought her in and asked my dogs to settle down in their beds. Kaylah settled right down next to me, too.
• Kaylah let me clean away her matted eye gook. She let me handle her feet and pet her all over her body.
• Overall, she seems like an awesome dog who needs training. She's a sweetie, and I can't imagine why anybody would have given her away.
  
• She seems totally unfazed by all the new things we've been introducing her to. She's met about 20 people and 7 dogs this afternoon and has been great with them all.
  
• NOTE: She sheds a little bit. I haven't noticed much hair falling off her in the house, but I can pull hairs off her body. I wouldn't assume that she's hypoallergenic.
