?The behaviors described today reflect the dog?s responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment. A
dog's behavior in an Animal Care Center may differ significantly from how they behave in a home. Stress, confinement, and
unfamiliar surroundings can cause dogs to act out or suppress behaviors that may emerge later. A dog's behavior may change
based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.?
Murdee greeted the runner with a wiggly body, soft eyes, an open pant, and a loose tail wag. She barked excitedly, and
allowed the runner to pet her through the kennel door. She was easy to leash and remove from the kennel, and pulled
moderately on leash. She began to fence fight with other dogs when they barked at her, and was difficult to steer away from
the kennels. She was easy to collar, and allowed the runner to muzzle her with no issues. In the catch pen, her body was
tense, her eyes were focused, and her tail was stiff. She entered the yard with a stiff body, hard stare, hackles up, and a stiff
tail. She growled at the other dogs when they approached her. The handlers moved her away from the other dogs, but she
was unable to relax. She continued to growl at the other dogs while staring at them with hard eyes. She was moved to the
side yard to spend some time on her own before she was removed from the yard. Murdee is offensive with the other dogs,
has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.

Murdee was already in the side yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. The handler entered the
yard, and Murdee approached with a neutral body, neutral gaze, and a neutral tail. The muzzle was not removed for the
initial assessment. She allowed the handler to pet her head, neck, and back with no issues, but her body began to tense
slightly as the assessment progressed. The handler was able to check her ears and teeth, and touch her tail and all four paws.
The muzzle was removed, and the assessment was repeated. Murdee remained slightly tense throughout the assessment, but
did not growl or try to bite. She was easy to handle, but was clearly uncomfortable with the handling assessment. When the
assessment was over, she waited by the fence until the runner returned her to her kennel.
