A volunteer writes: Ravioli is as delicious as her name. She’s a lovable and fun dish all rolled into one! Ravioli is happy just hanging out with people, or can be as playful as a puppy once a ball or stuffy is presented. Watch her adorable video, and if you’re interested in adopting her, stop by the Staten Island Care Center. She’s ready and waiting!!!!

Summary: Ravioli displayed no behavior concerns during her handling assessment.
PLAYGROUP:
When off leash with familiar dogs, Ravioli was tolerant of rambunctious behaviors from both dogs, she often explored the yard and did her own thing but at times would interact with the two dog and attempt to mount.
9/26: Ravioli was introduced to a male on leash due to her recently being spayed and on limited activity as per medical. Ravioli was very polite and gentle when greeted by the male. She offered appropriate corrections to mounting as well as multiple play bows! Ravioli would attempt to mount at times as well and would respond well when corrected.
INTAKE BEHAVIOR
During intake, Ravioli was social and allowed all handling.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
During her initial medical exam, Ravioli was social and allowed all handling.
ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Ravioli so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Ravioli displays as a social dog with a medium level of energy. She will benefit from mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised, such as daily walks, runs, exercise, and play.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Average (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)
