STATEN ISLAND

Betty Boop
Hello, my name is Betty Boop. My animal id is #7925. I am a desexed female brown dog at the Dog Adoptions. The shelter thinks i am about 6 years 2 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a data import – incoming on 01-Oct-2017.

Reserve Betty Boop
You may know me from such films as…

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: I had the pleasure of meeting Betty Boop this past weekend. Upon her arrival at the Care Center, she was very shy and a little sad. We went for a walk (she walks beautifully on leash, not even the slightest bit of pulling), she then explored the play yard, as you can see in the video below, and had some treats. She’s such a little doll who needs a loving forever home. If you’re interested in adopting Bettty Boop, come to Staten Island Care Center to meet her.

Another volunteer writes: Betty Boop is a shy girl with a big smile. The first time I met her, I spent quite some time coaxing her out of her cage with treats and head skritches (she likes skritches!). She eventually and calmly let me put the leash on her and then off we went for a quiet stroll down the street. She would definitely be a sweet, quiet companion for any laid-back owner, as long as you are willing to provide skritches and treats. If you’d like to adopt this sweet girl, please stop by our Staten Island Center.

Betty Boop is at risk for medical reasons. Please see medical notes for more information.

10/3/17

Betty Boop is polite and gentle when greeting a male dog. They often go back and forth lightly T-ing shoulders, at times a gentle attempt to mount that is easily corrected by either male dog or handlers. Betty Boop will play bow in front of male dog, and follow him around the yard.

9/19/17 – Enrichment

Betty is very soft in her kennel, mostly lying down. She is easy going in and out, no issues, allows me to leash her no problem. In the yard she is very soft and friendly, allows all handling and petting and mostly explores the yard. Betty appears to have some medical issues, she’ll urinate without squatting and as she is walking (very swollen down there). Betty boop is very friendly and has not displayed any concerning behaviors. (medical was informed of her medical concerns)
