?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.?
Maduro was at the front of the kennel with a neutral demeanor when the female runner approached. When a male runner
approached the kennel, Maduro moved to the back of the kennel and began to bark in a defensive manner. He startled
himself when he jumped up and bumped his head on the divider door. He returned to the front of the kennel to greet the
female runner with a neutral body, neutral gaze, and a neutral tail. He was easy to leash and remove from the kennel, but
immediately pressed his body to the ground and refused to walk. He required coaxing and gentle pressure on the leash to
walk. The runner moved slowly, and was able to collar him with no issues. In the catch pen, his body was tense, his eyes
were wide, and his tail was tucked. He required coaxing and pressure on the leash to enter the yard. He sat by the fence with
a tense body, concerned eyes, ears back, and a tucked tail, and did not greet the other dogs. He eventually began to roam the
yard, but continued to keep his distance from the other dogs for a long time. After a while, he engaged in gentle play with the
other dogs. Maduro is tolerant of the other dogs, has a medium energy level, and prefers a gentle-dainty playstyle.

Maduro was already in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. He was moved to the side yard,
and given a few moments to decompress before the handler entered the yard. He was wary of the handler at first, but slowly
began to approach her when she sat on the bench. He placed his head on the handler?s leg, and allowed the handler to pet his
head, neck, and back, with no issues. The handler was able to check his ears and teeth. He allowed the handler to pet his
sides and abdomen, but became uncomfortable as the assessment progressed. The handler asked another handler to gently
restrain him with the leash while the handler touched his tail and paws. His body tensed, and he tried to pull away from the
handler. His eyes were wide, his tail was tucked, and he appeared to be very uncomfortable. He did not growl or try to bite
during the assessment. When the assessment was over, Maduro did not want to return to his kennel, and required coaxing
and gentle pressure on the leash to get him to walk to the kennel.
