With weather this amazing, what's better than being outside with a new family dog, or snuggling with a new puuurrfect kitty at night?  This week, read about how you can open your home and heart to three adorable fur babies...Tulip, Elmo and Boomer.

Available for adoption at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is Tulip.  A staff favorite, Tulip is a friendly and social mush who steals the hearts of all who meet her.  Tulip is about 3 years old and is about 65 pounds of pure love.  Tulip has been moved into the hallway of the shelter for extra exposure, so hurry down and adopt her today!

Patiently waiting to meet you at Last Hope Animal Rescue in Wantagh is this handsome cutie named Elmo.  Elmo is adorable with legs like a runway model!  He's a mid-size, skinny Hound mix, about a year or two old, no particular breed. Elmo comes to Last Hope from an overcrowded Kentucky Shelter, picked up as a stray.   Elmo is looking for a friend or family to bond with and to become his BFF because he definitely has a lot of love to give in return.

Also at Last Hope is a this sweetheart named Boomer.  Boomer was rescued with his two sisters, Basil and Blue. Born this past April,  Boomer is the tabby with the little white paws. He is just adorable and would love to cuddle up with you tonight.  Boomer is a great kitty who is described as friendly and social making an awesome addition to any home!
