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, but she was very timid. She entered the play yard with concemed eye: and a tuckedtail. She was approached by two dogs and tolerated them sniffing her, but she remained with concered eyes and a tuckedtail. After the dogs broke away, she began to roam the yard and explore. She was tolerant of dogs trailing her to sniff her. She was approached by a high energy male husky and gave an air snap waming for space. He respected the waming and walked away. She was more tolerant of calm dogs approaching her and sniffing her. But she continued to give show of teeth and air snap wamings to high energy dogs approaching her or dogs lingering in her face. She did not approach the handlers in the yard and would keep her distance from them. She will need a very calm dog that will respect her space and boundaries. She is fearful and needs a go slow approach. Due to this, she would likely do best in an adult only home or with older respectful kids. She will also need socialization to walking on leash.
