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 sunoundings, 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. He tolerated her sniffing him, but he was very tense, with a high stiff tail and froze. The female shepherd then walked away. He was then approached by a male Labrador and displayed the same tense behavior. The male Labrador walked away, and Butter began to roam the yard to himself to explore. He continued to become very tense and freeze with a high stiff tail, when any dog approached to sniff him. He was approached by a female husky that greeted him and she began to sniff him. He froze with a tense body in a forward posture and a high stiff tail. After she sniffed him for a few seconds, he growled, lunged, and began to attack her. Ahandler nearby was able to use the sound of a shaker can, to break his focus and stop his attack. The handler then grabbed his leash, and he was removed from the yard at this time. Due to his very tense behavior around dogs in the yard and his unprovoked attack, he will be designated as no other dogs required
