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 behavior may change based on surroundings, training, medical, socialization, and life experiences.\" He walked to the play yard with a hard pull on the leash. He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He approached a female shepherd and exchanged a soft greeting with her. He began to calmly roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He continued to calmly roam the yard and exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. He remained calm and social for the rest of his time in the yard. He would approach the handlers and seek affection. Hercules is social with the other dogs, but he displayed no play style at this time and would likely do best with a calmer dog in his old age.
