A volunteer writes:
How fitting that the sweetest, softest and most affectionate baby girl at the Care Center should be named for a flower that represents youth and means ‘I can’t live without you’ because after visiting with Princess Primrose that’s exactly what you’ll be saying! She’s a wee bit shy at first but very friendly and when I peep into her den I’m greeted with a little tail wag drum roll on the bed–just too precious! Calm and patient beyond her years, Primrose comes when called and sits without even needing to be asked. She takes treats like a little lady, walks very nicely on leash and meets other dogs with good humor and polite tail wags. Though her pretty face is still framed in kissable puppy velvet, the rest of Primrose’s skin is inflamed and neglected and it’s a testament to her tender heart that she allows all handling and petting and never once complains or fusses over her condition. A little care, a lot of love and a place at the center of an adoring family who’ll treat her like royalty would be a dream come true and if anyone deserves a happily ever after ending it’s this beautiful angel. Primrose aced her behavior assessment and she’s ready to hug, kiss and snuggle her way into your heart today!

PROFILE :

Primrose A1105390 is a young female black AMPBT mix that was found tied to a tree on a street in the Bronx a little while before being brought in. The finder isn’t able to keep her and felt bad for her due to it being so cold out and Primrose missing quite a bit of fur. They stated she was friendly and allowed them to untie her leash from around the tree and walk her to our BXAC location.

During intake Primrose initially had a low body posture and would move away from me but after a couple of bacon treats we were pals. Primrose then had a loose, wiggly body, would stand up to give hugs and licked my hand several times. She allowed to be scanned (-), collared and taken pictures of which she sat lovely for as if waiting for treats, Primrose is a smart girl who knows “sit” and didn’t seem to mind me collaring her as she ate (and boy was she hungry). Primrose became nervous when she placed a paw into the kennel & it made a noise while trying to get to her food bowl and or treats. She had to be lifted into it which she then ran out of as we’re placing her in. After a few minutes of being cradled in someone’s arms she sat in her kennel without trying to leave it.

Summary
PLAYGROUP:
Summary
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During her initial medical exam, Primrose allowed handling.
ENERGY LEVEL:
We have no history on Primrose so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for a home with an average amount of dog experience)
