🐾UPDATES🐾 on our furry friends who used to be on this page: Caramel, Ribbon and Dexter! First, a BIG thank you for all your continued support of them and of our currently featured dog, Wally. ❤️
Caramel: Caramel still waits for her forever home. She did great with her training and her rescue is trying to find the perfect match for her. She also continues to receive maintenance training to keep her on track. She is 7 years old now. If you know of someone who'd like to apply for Caramel, please contact PAWS Long Island- Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society or Jet's Rehab Rescue, Inc.
Ribbon: Ribbon still waits for his forever home. He was pulled by My Why Rescue . He has been in a train and board program ever since with Dila K9 Training Academy .
Ribbon would do best in a calm home. He is estimated to be 7 years young, he is not much of a cuddler but will sit for pets. Once he’s finished getting what he needs, he just wants to lay down on his own and not be bothered. He travels well in the car. He’s dog friendly but we would love for him to be in a home with an older dog or no dogs due to him not having the 1:1 attention on him. If you know of some interested in Ribbon, please contact My Why Rescue .
Dexter: Unfortunately, Dexter is back at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter where he began. Dexter had been pulled by a rescue, but none of the foster homes worked out for Dexter, so he was returned to the shelter. He did receive some training during his journey away from the shelter, so that was good for him. If you are interested in meeting Dexter, please email the shelter at [email protected]

SHARING is CARING, so let's continue to help our furry friends find their forever homes! 🐶🐶🐶

All about Skittles 🐶:

✅Knows many commands - "sit", "stay", "come"

✅Friendly with people

Shelter/Petango Bio:

💥Total goober alert!💥

Skittles is a 7 year old male terrier mix who came in as a stray in April 2019. When he came in he was very underweight and nervous of new people and things. Today he is a happy, healthy boy and is looking for his forever home! This fetch loving boy has presented with some guarding behaviors so he needs a dog experienced home with children over the age of 17 years to help him work through his issues. Skittles is under socialized with other dogs so he would need a very specific dog companion or a solo dog home.
