A5717200 ✰ -8/01/25-
He was found near 800 N. Victor Ave., Inglewood
8/4/25 - Bernard A5717200(Intact) was at the front of the kennel with a neutral body posture when the runner arrived. He was interactive at the barrier; he sniffed the runner’s hand and allowed his shoulder to be rubbed. Bernard was easily leashed and then exited the kennel on his own. He walked ahead of the runner with a strong pull on the leash while barking at the other dogs along the way. Inside the catch pen, he was collared without incident, though he appeared uncomfortable with the presence of the dogs as he observed them with alert eyes while barking at them. Once inside the yard, he ignored the dogs that came forward to greet him, choosing to explore the environment instead. He continued roaming, exhibiting a neutral body posture; however, his body language changed whenever he encountered some of the dogs he crossed paths with. His body became tense around them, requiring the handlers to keep a close eye to monitor his behavior. Eventually, a small scuffle occurred when Bernard hovered near one of the male dogs, but it was quickly contained with a strong verbal correction. Both of them walked away and resumed wandering around the yard. For the rest of the session, Bernard kept to himself, tolerating the dogs from a distance. Once the session concluded, he was shifted to the side yard to begin his handling assessment. Bernard could benefit from continued socialization in a yard with a small group of calm dogs, which may help him interact at his own pace while gradually developing his social skills. Bernard is ok for public adoption, adults only recommended, no other dogs recommended, medium energy level. See handling assessment.
Bernard A5717200(Intact) was allowed to decompress prior to the assessment. The handler was able to conduct a full evaluation without incident. Bernard stood calmly while his ears, mouth, stomach, tail, and legs were being handled. He displayed a neutral body posture, an open-mouth pant, ears slightly back, a low tail, and a soft gaze. Once the session concluded, he was returned to his kennel without issue. Bernard showed no concerning behavior; however, a slow approach during interactions is recommended, allowing him to gradually warm up to new people. Bernard is ok for public adoption, adults only recommended, no other dogs recommended, medium energy level.
