Proof that re-homing a dog can cause significant stress
"Deritualization anxiety (when dogs have to change of group and so have to learn new communication rituals - e.g., moving, shelters, after owner's death, etc.), deprivation anxiety with social phobia, even separation anxiety (very rarely) can have aggression of these kinds in their symptoms." -- Dr. Claude Beata, see http://www.ivis.org/advances/Behavior_Houpt/beata/IVIS.pdf.

NOTE: The Canine Threat Assessment Guide was developed by Tamara Ann Follett of Ontario, and was made available at no cost to the world in 2007 in an effort to prevent municipalities from destroying dogs simply because of their breed. Despite this, it was not adopted as an alternative in Ontario and over 700 dogs were destroyed as a result. In contrast, the C-TAG risk assessment has been in use continuously since 2007 in Central Queensland Australia with positive results.
