A volunteer writes: Tall, lanky, beautiful Casey is no stranger to the shelter as she originally came from us. Casey was adopted out when she was 6 months old and sadly recently returned,  because her owner doesn’t have time to sufficiently care for her.  Well, his loss can be someone else’s gain!! Casey is a very sweet, super affectionate dog who loves to play and gives the best hugs and kisses.  Casey loves to run and play and would appreciate someone who is also active.  If you are interested in adopting Casey please come to Staten Island ACC and meet her.

When visitors come over, owner has to place her inside of crate because she gets too hyper when guests come over.

Owner reports Casey has lived with other dogs and cats in the past, relaxed/playful, but at times may chew on household items. Owner reports Casey isn’t bothered if anyone touches her Food, Toys, Treats. She is reportedly crate trained, may get hyper when people come over and is therefore crated. Casey is best described by owner as a loving, affectionate & playful dog. She pulled on leash for her relief walk. Casey was friendly and sociable upon entering SAFER assessment area. She held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, tail wagging. Casey stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, open mouth, leans into assessor’s hand. She was distracted and unresponsive during Tag game, focused on other stimuli. Casey gently pulled her paw back on both Squeeze attempts. She playfully engaged with Toy, keeping a firm grip with loose body. When off leash with other dogs, Casey was reactive and lip curling when greeting a male dog through the gate. Casey jumped up onto the bench and when a male dog approached her she nipped at this face and tried to bite. The Behavior Team feels Casey would do best with an Experienced owner as the only resident dog. Casey would do best with daily mental and physical stimulation in the forms of daily walks, runs, exercise, and play as well as durable toys such as kongs and nylabones to positively direct her high energy and enthusiasm.
