Description
PTI stated that when she walked A5753196 she would sometimes difficult to control occassionally the dog acts aggressive by barking and growling towards other people. She reported that one time her grandmother came to visit and A5753196 lunged at her aggressively, growling and nearly knocking her down. PTI immediately stepped in and grabbed the dog.
PTI also stated that about three weeks ago, for no apparent reason and without warning the dog lunged at her son as he was watching TV and bit him on the foot. The bite did not puncture or break the skin. During the same week, A5753196 bit her son?s girlfriend on the foot without warning, but the bite also did not break the skin.
The owner stated that on several occasions she has had to place the dog in a crate when visitors come over to prevent her from attacking anyone.
🐶 Meet Betty! 💖
Betty is a sweet, affectionate girl with a medium energy level who loves being close to her people. 🥰 She walks nicely on leash, enjoys greeting friendly humans with a soft wag, and happily soaks up pets?often becoming relaxed, wiggly, and even playful once she feels comfortable. Betty can feel a bit overwhelmed around groups of dogs and may prefer calmer introductions or a more peaceful environment. 🌸 With people, though, she shines?leaning in for attention, accepting hugs, and showing her loving personality. Betty would thrive in a patient home where she can feel safe, loved, and supported. 🏡🐾

?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.?
Betty was at the front of the kennel with a relaxed body, dilated pupils, and a soft tail wag. She was easy to leash and remove
from the kennel, walked nicely on leash while bypassing the other kennels, stopped to greet people with a soft tail wag, and
was easy to collar. In the catch pen, her body was neutral with a low tail. She entered the yard with a tense body, wide eyes
with dilated pupils, ears back, and a tucked tail. She defensively snapped at the other dogs when they greeted her, and stayed
close to the handlers. She eventually engaged in play with a gentle male, but became overwhelmed when other dogs tried to
join them. She briefly roamed the yard, but returned to the handler?s side after a few minutes. She solicited petting from the
handlers. Betty is defensive with the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and does not have a playstyle at this time.

Betty was already in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. She was moved to the side yard,
and given a few moments to decompress before the handler entered the yard. She approached the handler with a neutral
body, soft eyes, and a neutral tail wag. She allowed the handler to pet her whole body with no issues, and became relaxed
and wiggly. She accepted a hug, and engaged in play with the handler. She was easy to handle, and did not display any
concerning behavior during the handling assessment.
