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 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.\"
She was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. She entered the play yard with concered eyes and a tucked tail. She sat down by the fence and was approached by two dogs. She tolerated them sniffing her, but she was very tense and had wide eyes. The dogs walked away and she remained sitting by the fence. She was approached by a male Pitbull to greet her, and she gave a show of teeth waming for space. He respected the waming and walked away. She was then approached by a female shepherd and displayed the same behavior. A short time later, she was approached by a male shepherd. She gave a show of teeth waming and then multiple air snaps, while stepping forward. The male shepherd dashed away to create space from her. She maintained this hard air snapping behavior with every dog that got close to her. After a while, she moved slightly along the fence to a different spot and laid down. She remained laying down, but would showteeth to any dog, even when they were 8 feet away fromher. She maintamed this defensive behavior for the rest of her time in the yard, regardless of the calmness of their approach or the energy level of the dog. Due to her defensive behavior and possible lack of socialization, she would likely do best as an only dog in the home.
