I think it is a great idea to prioritize due to the situation with your dog. Sometimes we just have to focus on one thing at a time and right now your precious family pet is what is important.
I think many times a WAS is much friendlier and more open outside of the home as the home reminds them of the hard times and how badly they were feeling prior to the bomb. It is difficult to relax in a setting that is associated with strife, conflict, massive responsibility and hurt. In a way you are fortunate that you work with your W (or in the same building it seems) as you have the opportunity to interact with her on a different level than just at home or during family time.
I truly am so very sorry for the the pain you and your family have about ya'lls dog. Many good vibes being sent your way!
