Is there a good way to gauge what a dog’s behavior will be out of the shelter when doing a meet and greet with the dogs?
For example, I recently met a very sweet lab mix who was super affectionate but whined and stared at the door the entire time. She was happy to see me but very distracted and eager to leave the room. Several other dogs I met did the same thing.
I know the dog shelter is a very loud and chaotic place for a dog especially if they were used to being in a home…but I’m not sure if these dogs will be anxious once they are in a home or if that’s just a shelter thing.
First time adopting a dog so just wanting to get some thoughts. Or if anyone has any other tips or things to watch out for I’d appreciate it! Thanks!
