DallasAnimalServicesPlaygroups are crucial when it comes to getting pets adopted out and paired with fosters. We learn so much about our dogs during these playgroup assessments. During these assessments we are hoping to find out if the dogs are social with other dogs and if they have a certain play style. So, here’s how it works- first we see how a dog does in the catch pen while other dogs sniff them from outside the catch pen. After that the new dog enters the yard. We have helper dogs like Jacob #A1160401 (black and white) that have been dog tested and get along with other dogs with all kinds of playstyles. These special dogs are so important for these assessments. We observe how the new dog reacts when approached and take observation notes. Our playgroup team is there the whole time and they have all kind of tools that come in handy in case there is any animosity out in the yard. If you are ever curious about a dog you like and if they have been dog tested please do not hesitate to ask. ♥️ #playgroup #friendlydogs #shelter #dogs#adopt #foster #helperdogs
