Eval Comments:
\"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 behaviormay change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.\"
She required a go-slow approach when being collared by the runner in the catch pen. She entered the play yard with soft body language. She was approached by a female shepherd and tolerated her sniffing her, but she did not retum the greeting.
She was then approached by a male Pitbull and displayed the same tolerant behavior. She began to calmly roam the yard and explore. She was tolerant of dogs trailing her to sniff her. She continued to roam the yard and began to exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. She remained calm and social for the rest of her time in the yard, but she appeared more comfortable around the calmer dogs. She did not approach the handlers in the yard and kept her distance. Buttercup is social with the other dogs, but she displayed no play style at this time. Due to incidents in the previous home, she will require a known history of aggression disclosure for. See handling assessment for further stipulations.

She was taken to the catch pen for the handling assessment after play group. The handler knelt and called to her, but she would not approach. When the handler attempted to pet her head, she would slow waming bite toward their hand. When the handler touched her rear paws, she spun around toward the handler, but she was unable to make contact due to her leash being controlled. The handler assessment was ended at this point, due to attempting to bite from handling two different areas. She was retumed to her kennel without issue. Due to her handling sensitivities, she will be designated as rescue only.
