genesis

Since I'm a long stay pup, my adoption fee has been reduced! Visit me today to find out my favorite treats and how you can take me home!A volunteer writes: This sweet floppy-eared girl is Genesis, and she's quite the little charmer. On our first walk together, she excitedly ran up to her kennel door as I opened it, full of wags and wiggles. Being a young, energetic pup, I took her to the play-yard, and boy, did she have fun! We played her version of fetch, in which she happily chases the ball, gallops back to me, then plops down and gets to work chewing away at it. I tried a toy too and she lounged out on the grass and entertained herself by pulling it apart. I think the only thing she loves more is getting lots of pets, especially having her ears and back scratched...she leans in and does these cute little wiggle-dances, with her tail happily swishing around. She was also friendly and social with staff during her Intake, Medical Exam, and Behavior Assessment.Though we don't know Genesis' history, she's had some training - she knows "sit" and "shake", takes treats nicely, and seems to be housebroken. At the shelter, Genesis has shown distress when passing other dogs and during doggie playgroup and therefore, it's recommended that she avoid dog parks at this time. You can meet this very sweet, affectionate pup at the Queens shelter where's she patiently awaiting her fur-ever home.Genesis is a strong and curious pup in our Shelter Scholars program, working on managing on-leash reactivity and building more relaxed walking habits. With targeted training, redirection cues, and handler engagement, she's learning to respond with calm curiosity instead of overreaction. Her growth in confidence is already shining through.
