It contains a collection of eleven papers (one review and ten research articles) on the behavior of dogs and cats in animal shelters, which can be very challenging environments. The papers focus on stress and behaviors associated with stress; the effectiveness of shelter enrichment programs in reducing stress; the usefulness of shelter behavioral evaluations in predicting behavior and assessing adoptability; and interactions between humans and companion animals. The aim of this book is to provide information that will inform shelter programs and policies, and thereby improve the welfare of shelter animals.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscAnimals & societybicsscdogfood aggressionfood guardingresource guardingshelterbehavioradoptionreturn rateattachment behaviorshelter dogfoster dogdisinhibited attachmentattachment stylescent markingurinationurinary posturedefecationground scratchinganimal shelterhuman-animal interactionsindividual differencesbehavioural assaysbehavioural syndromescompanion animalFelis silvestris catusshelter catshuman-cat relationdog behaviour predictiondog behaviour problemsdog behaviour assessmentcaninesanimal sheltersdog post-adoption behaviourheart rate variabilitystressarousallavenderdog appeasing pheromone (DAP)musicbehavioral evaluationowner surrenderdog behaviourbehaviour problemsbehaviour assessmentshelterspredicthome behaviourhypothalamic–pituitary–adrenalcortisolglucocorticoidsocial bufferingenrichmentearly-life stressanimal welfareon-leash walkcanine behavioural assessmentleash tensionbehaviourverbal cuebody gesturehuman-dog interactiondogswelfarehuman-animal interactionactivityResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesAnimals & societyMcGuire Bettyedt752710McGuire BettyothBOOK9910557448503321Behavior of Shelter Animals3035797UNINA
