Congee

Congee is an adoptable male Siberian Husky looking for a home at Los Angeles County - Carson in Gardena, California. He is fully grown and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Congee may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

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.' Congee was already in the yard when the handler decided to begin the handling assessment. He would not walk to the side yard, so the handler moved the other dogs away from him while conducting the handling assessment. His body was tense, his eyes were wide, his mouth was closed, his ears were back, and his tail was tucked as he pressed his body into the ground. He did not move or attempt to interact with the handler at all during the assessment, and seemed to shut down completely. He allowed the handler to pet his whole body, but remained very tense and uncomfortable throughout the assessment. When the assessment was over, he turned away from the handler, and hid his head behind the pool. He did not display any aggression during the handling assessment, but will require confidence building, behavior modification, and leash training.
