Granny Smith
Hello, my name is Granny Smith. My animal id is #10678. I am a female gray dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 9 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 24-Oct-2017.
Granny Smith is at risk due to medical condition. Granny Smith has a ruptured eye, bladder stone and possible Cushing’s disease. We would recommend her go to an Adult Only home that can manage her medical treatment.

Summary:: Granny Smith was tense and did not like handling around her head.
ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Granny Smith so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, she displays a low level of activity.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: ADULT ONLY HOME
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children : Due to how uncomfortable Granny Smith currently is with handling, we recommend a home without young children. Older, gentle children should have an in-depth interaction prior to adoption.
Potential challenges: : Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Granny Smith is very fearful at the care center, struggling to get away when handled. It is important to always go slow and give Granny Smith the option to walk away from any social interaction. Granny Smith should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Granny Smith’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Granny Smith would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings.
