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.' Muffin A5804556 greeted the runner with a wiggly body, soft eyes, a relaxed tail wag, soft eyes, and an open mouth with a soft pant. She was easy to remove, and she slightly pulled on leash. In the catch pen when she was introduced to the dogs her body was neutral, her eyes were neutral, her mouth was closed and her tail was low with a soft wag. She was easy to collar and leash. She entered the yard and was slightly nervous during the greetings. She roamed the yard quietly. She solicited affection from the handler. She began gently sniffing some of the dogs, her body was relaxed, her eyes were soft and her tail was low with a soft wag. She was comfortable being around the dogs, until one of the defensive dogs snapped at her. She yelped and ran away from her. After that she stood by the handler's legs (using her as a shield). If the dogs hovered around her, she would gently snap at them (no contact made). She was sent back to her kennel after that. Overall, Muffin was tolerant of the dogs and does not have a playstyle at this time. Behaviorally ok for public adoption, large calm dogs required.
