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 swroundings, 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 a female shepherd. As she sniffed him, he became tense, giving side eye and licking his lips. She then walked away. He was approached by a male shepherd and displayed the same tense behavior. The male shepherd then walked away. He was approached by a female Pitbull. He immediately became tense with a high curved tail hackles raised and forward body posture. He then hovered his muzzle over the back of herneck. Ahandler broke his focus and steered him away. He was emoved from the yard at this time before his behavior could escalate. Due a previous attack on another dog causing severe injuries, which resulted in the dog having to be euthanized, he will be designated as no other dogs required and rescue only with waiver and indemnity.
