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.\"
She was easily collared by the runner in the catch pen. She became banier reactive toward the other dogs through the play yard fence, growling at them. She entered the play yard and immediately approached a male shepherd. She froze in front of him with a forward body posture, stiff tail, hackles raised and licking her lips. She froze like this for a few seconds and then lunged growling and attempting to bite the male shepherd in the neck. The handers that were monitoring her behavior were able to pull her away by her leash, before she was able to make contact. She was then removed from the yard at this time.
While being removed from the yard, she continued to growl and try to pull back toward the other dog. Due to her unprovoked offensive behavior, she will need to be the only dog in the home.
