A volunteer writes: Frannie is a bit shy when I approach her kennel…but comes to me when she sees my leash. She is leery at first but warms up quickly once we are in the play yard. Frannie wasn’t much for playing but instead preferred to hang out with me sitting close by and enjoyed me petting her. Frannie appears to be a low key girl who would do well in just about any home who understands that she is shy. If you are interested in adopting Frannie come to the Staten Island Care Center to meet her.

INTAKE BEHAVIOR
During intake, Frannie was social and allowed all handling.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During her initial medical exam, Frannie allowed all handling.
PLAYGROUP:
When off leash with other dogs, Frannie was polite and tolerant when greeting a social male. She often explored the yard with the male and offered appropriate corrections.
7/19: Frannie continues to be tolerant of male dogs, she mostly explores the yard and does not appear interested in play. She offers appropriate corrections to sexual behavior.
ENERGY LEVEL:
We have no history on Frannie so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Frannie displays as having a medium to high level of energy. She will benefit from daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend daily walks, runs, exercise and play to positively direct her enthusiasm.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter that has an average amount of dog experience)
