Handsome Tucker is a 4 year old pup waiting almost 2 years for a foster or forever home. He knows several commands and walks great on leash. Due to some guarding issues he is recommended to families with kids 17+. He also would do best as the only pet. Tucker is located at the Town of Hempstead Animal shelter in Wantagh, NY. Adopt, Foster, Share!

Dahlia is loving her time outside of the noisy kennels. A well-deserved break for this sweet, quirky girl. 😍

It warms our hearts to see her getting a taste of what home life could be like this holiday season. Her time in the adoptions office is giving her a chance to relax, and just be a dog. A silly, playful, affectionate dog. πŸ₯°

This adorable mountain goat is Dahlia. 😍

Well... she's actually a petite little terrier mix, but she sure does love climbing nonetheless. πŸ™‚

This sweet girl was dumped from a car over a year ago, and is sadly growing up in a shelter. 😒 So moments like these are few and far behind for the sweet Dahlia.

It takes her a little time to trust new people, so most don't get to see the real Dahlia. Sweet, playful, affectionate, and full of life!

Most simply see a dog curled up and depressed in her kennel. She is the epitome of a dog that does not show well.

To help Dahlia find a home or foster family, please take a moment to share this post. It could change this girl's life! πŸ’•β€οΈπŸ’•

Look at the affection and appreciation in those eyes! It warms our hearts. 😍

Sadly, most families won't get a chance to see this side of Dahlia as she can be nervous and aloof with strangers.

Give Dahlia a chance... she's a hidden gem, and available to adopt or foster at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. πŸ’•πŸ πŸ’•

The softer side of Dahlia, once she gets the zoomies out of her system. πŸ˜‰

Not only do you get a playful girl that loves a kiddie pool and plays fetch like a champ, but she also enjoys just hanging out and taking in the scenery. 😍

This sweet girl's time is overdue. She deserves more than the small kennel that she has spent the majority of her short life in. πŸ™

Dahlia is a blast! πŸ˜„

This overlooked girl is silly, playful and affectionate. 😍

If you come visit Dahlia, chances are you won't get to see this side of her. She's not a fan of kennel life (we don't blame her!), and she takes a little time to trust new people.

That's why this brindle beauty has spent the majority of her youth in a shelter.

Give Dahlia a chance... she should be playing like this in a yard of her own! πŸ’•πŸΎπŸ’•

Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! If you or someone you know is looking to add a furry family member to your home please visit a local shelter or a rescue (who will then have more space to pull another pet from a shelter) where there are so many deserving former family pets in need of good homes.

These 4 pups (along with many others) are now residing at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

Tillito was left at the shelter by his family because he had a lump on his side. His shelter took care of it, and it turned out to be no more than a harmless cyst which was removed and he has been fine ever since.

Yet over a year later and this handsome 7 year old is still waiting to become a member of someone's family. He is friendly with people and dogs (but like all dogs needs proper intros) and his leash walking skills make him a wonderful walking companion.

Please share this friendly pup, like his page and help him to find that forever home.

If you are interest in meeting Tillito, or any of his friends at his shelter, please complete an adoption application and return it to his shelter. Follow the link below.

Dahlia, Growing Up in a Shelter

Dahlia was abandoned as a pup, and is sadly growing up in the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

Fearful of strangers, and sometimes aloof, she has been overlooked by many visitors of the shelter. Staff and volunteers however get to see a different Dahlia. Loving, affectionate, silly, and full of life!

Give Dahlia the chance she deserves. She is available to adopt or foster at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. Or, if you are unable to, please share this girl’s story.
