Featured Foster: Bok Choy

By Humane Society of Ventura County

Bok Choy is thriving in foster care with his foster parents Mike and Georgia! This handsome 7-month-old is one of six Belgian Malinois puppies surrendered to the HSVC in early January. Shortly after his arrival, Bok Choy began showing signs of barrier aggression and resource guarding. Barrier aggression is a territorial behavior in which a dog exhibits stress or aggression when placed behind a barricade such as a fence or a gate. Resource guarding is another territorial behavior in which a dog exhibits aggressive behavior over food or toys. Both are very common with shelter animals, and both are trainable!
