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 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 two dogs and tolerated them both sniffing him, but he was tense. After the dogs broke away, he beganto roam the yard and explore. He was tolerant of dogs trailing him to sniff him. He was approached by two dogs that lingered near his face, and he gave a growl waming for space. They respected his waming and walked away. After some time, he relaxed a lot more and was tolerant of calm dogs approaching him and sniffing him. He continued to give growl wamings for space to playful dogs that approached him fast or ted to entice play. He would approach the handlers often and seek affection. He would do best with a calm dog that will respect his space and boundaries. He will also need socialization to walking on leash.
