"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 howthey 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."
He was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. He entered the play yard with soft body language. He was approached by a female shepherd. He tolerated her sniffing him, but he was tense as she did so. He was then approached by a male Labrador and displayed the same behavor. He began to roam the yard and explore. After a while, he began to relax a little more and sniff other dogs from behind. After some more time, he relaxed further and began to exchange soft greetings with the other dogs. He remained social for the rest of his time i the yard, but he appeared wary around the higher energy dogs.
There were dogs playing during his time in the yard and he offered a couple of play bows, but he never engaged in full play.
He would approach the handlers often and seek affection. Nate dog is social with the other dogs, but he displayed no play style at this time and would likely do best with a calmer dog.
