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.Animals and societybicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscactivityadoptionanimal shelteranimal sheltersanimal welfarearousalattachment behaviorattachment stylebehaviorbehavioral evaluationbehaviourbehaviour assessmentbehaviour problemsbehavioural assaysbehavioural syndromesbody gesturecanine behavioural assessmentcaninescompanion animalcortisoldefecationdisinhibited attachmentdogdog appeasing pheromone (DAP)dog behaviourdog behaviour assessmentdog behaviour predictiondog behaviour problemsdog post-adoption behaviourdogsearly-life stressenrichmentFelis silvestris catusfood aggressionfood guardingfoster dogglucocorticoidground scratchingheart rate variabilityhome behaviourhuman-animal interactionhuman-animal interactionshuman-cat relationhuman-dog interactionhypothalamic-pituitary-adrenalindividual differenceslavenderleash tensionmusicon-leash walkowner surrenderpredictresource guardingreturn ratescent markingsheltershelter catsshelter dogshelterssocial bufferingstressurinary postureurinationverbal cuewelfareAnimals and societyBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalMcGuire Bettyedt752710McGuire BettyothBOOK9910557448503321Behavior of Shelter Animals3035797UNINA
