Small Dogs are Big Stars at Local Shelters.

As promised, please meet two a-dog-able pooches just waiting to find their forever homes. Both Bam and Fabio are available for adoption at The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.  Please remember to support our local shelters by adopting, not shopping.

Now, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Bam (pictured).  Bam is an eight year old Poodle who loves meeting new people, enjoys a good grooming, and knows how to walk like quite the gentleman on a leash.  Bam would do best in a home with Tweens and older, and would enjoy play dates with other patient pups as Bam loves a good jump and sniff.  Bam is ready to meet his new family so go ahead and give this handsome fella a visit soon.

Also at The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is Fabio (pictured), and yes- the name says it all!!  Fabio is a gorgeous 2 year old cocker spaniel who is known for making fast connections with people.  Fabio is a little shy and would do best with households that have teenage children or older.  He's a great watchdog and can't wait to get to know you.  On a personal note, I had a cocker spaniel growing up and they are such wonderful companions.  My Sabrina was my best friend for 12 years.  Please visit Fabio so that you can have the same wonderful experience that I shared with my cocker spaniel.

Thanks to all for reading, and remember:  Don't shop- adopt!
