He was slightly wary of the runner but tolerated him clasping the neck around his neck. He was wary with a low head while greeting a few dogs through the fence. He calmly entered the yard and did not seek out any dogs for a few moments as he calmly explored. He was tense but tolerated a male shepherd coming up to greet him. He was avoidant of nose-to-nose greetings at first. He appeared to lack socialization. He began approaching the handlers with a wiggly body, appearingto be more comfortable with them than the other dogs. He resumed exploring while tolerating other dogs coming up to him. As time passed, he relaxed and began exchanging good greetings with the dogs. A female pit bull began enticing him for play and was very persistent. He slowly became playful, tapping his feet, play bowing and eventually engaging in some chase play. He liked using his paws while playing but was not physical beyond that. He displayed a gentle/dainty play style. He also engaged in some chase play with a male shepherd. He needs socialization, confidence building, and leash training BEHAVIORALLY OK FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION, ADULTS (REC), LARGE DOGS OK, MEDIUM ENERGY E26-095147 Animal ID: A5792123 Eval Type: HANDLING Eval Location: LANCASTR Eval Date: 08/03/2026 Review Date: Play Style: GENTLE/DAINTY Sociability: SOCIAL Reactive: NON REACTIVE Ken Handling: FEARFUL/FROZEN Kids: Large Dogs: LARGE DOGS OK Small Dogs: NEEDS ASSESSMENT Energy Level: MEDIUM Traming: B-MOD MULTI Eval Comments: The behaviors described today reflect the dog's responses in an Animal Care Center environment and during assessment.
