Buddy was difficult to remove from his kennel showing teeth, and lunges at the rope. He did not show any social behavior. Once he was out of the kennel Buddy was difficult to collar his muscles of his body and face was tense and rigid looking directly at the assessor. Due to the behavior demonstrated in the shelter we just decided to do a partial assessment on buddy. During the resources he was not interested in food, toys or rawhide. Buddy was surrendered by the owner’s daughter because the owner can no longer care for buddy because she is an elderly women. The owner has had buddy since buddy was a puppy.
