Brooklyn braving the chill in style 🤩🧡 This 55ish pound beauty has been waiting 170 DAYS for a home! Brooklyn has only had two meet & greets this whole time, and they passed on her because they said she was boring. She’s not boring, she does get playful! Brooklyn deserves a chance ❤️ needs a solo pet home.

❄️ Located at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, Wantagh, New York (Long Island.) If you’re interested in adopting me, please read my shelter bio below. If you have further questions, please email: [email protected] ❄️

Shelter Bio:
Meet Brooklyn, a sweet 4.5 -year-old pup who’s ready for a fresh start! Brooklyn came to us after local PD was called to help a dog found locked in a car on a hot day. Thanks to the quick response of the police, she was safely removed from the car and brought to us for care. After a full check-up, we’re happy to report that Brooklyn is healthy and ready to find her forever home. Sadly, Brooklyn’s owner ultimately decided to surrender her, and now this once-loved companion had to adjust to shelter life. Having spent most of her life in a home, the change has been a bit overwhelming, but Brooklyn is a trooper. She’s curious about all the sights, sounds, and smells around our training trails, and she’s been showing her playful side as she enjoys the great outdoors. Brooklyn would thrive in a home with older teens (16+), where she can show off her amazing skills! Brooklyn’s idea of a good time? Chasing balls for hours and proudly bringing them back—she’s got a fetching game that’s on point! Don’t miss out on one of the best pups there is! Come meet her today and see if she’s the one for you!

HAPPY NATIONAL PRINCESS DAY TO OUR VERY OWN PRINCESS, BOO✨💫👑 We love you, BOO! We hope someday you will be pampered & adored in a home of your own….🙏🏼 PLEASE SHARE PRINCESS BOO!🐰

Boo’s Shelter Bio:
Boo arrived due to her owners being evicted, they were not able to reclaim her once they found a new space to live. Boo is a Terrier mix, 6.9 yrs old and 87 pounds. She already knows sit, stay (sometimes, still learning) and quick to impress for a tasty treat! She is friendly upon meeting new human friends. While we can’t rave enough about her amazing personality, we do have to mention, she has to be a solo pet. (We promise she has a lot of love to give!) She is so amazing, loves to explore and go on long walks (she is strong). She loves a good trail walk. Our radiant girl loves to exert her energy in fenced play-yards. Running with a toy, engaging in getting pet; we love to see her having fun! She is fully house-broken and will alert you when it’s time to go for a walk.
When other dogs are present, she can become overstimulated, she is very strong and will need a strong handler for leash-walking. If you have a large fenced in yard (PVC 6ft) a romp in the yard could be great too. She will frolic, play with toys and come back to you for pets. She loves to do her business, run around and then lay down and roll around on the cool grass.
Boo, is easily one of the best kept secrets at the shelter. We know it’s a BIG ask, but if you really are looking to open your heart and home, we can’t recommend a better girl!! Boo would do best in a home with older children at trainers’ discretion

Auggie Doggie!! Thank you Dog Kindness for and Rocky Kanaka for featuring our handsome Auggie ❤️🐾

Auggie first arrived to the shelter in June 2022, underweight and nervous. Our hearts broke for Auggie, he was clearly under-socialized. We allowed him to
