My name is Karen, and I’m a charming 3-year-old Terrier mix with a heart full of hope and a lot of love to give. I was recently rescued from a tough situation, but now I’m on the lookout for a warm and welcoming home where I can feel safe and cherished. I might be a little nervous when we first meet, but don’t let that fool you—I have a soft and gentle side that comes out when I’m surrounded by kindness and comfort. I absolutely adore soft dog beds and cozy spots where I can snuggle up and feel secure. I’m looking for a compassionate and patient family who can help me feel at ease and provide a safe space where I can thrive. In return, I promise to be a devoted and loving companion. Due to my nervous nature, I’m looking for a home with kids 14 & up! So if you think you can offer me the loving home I’m dreaming of, come meet me! Let’s see if we’re the perfect match and start a new, happy chapter together. ????

It’s heartbreaking seeing her like this 💔 Sadie is so scared here! She’s friendly with other dogs (though a bit shy at first) and a meet & greet would be required.

If you’re interested in adopting me, please read my shelter bio below. If you have further questions, please email: [email protected]✨🌺 Shelter Bio: Sadie is a sweet, shy, and playful 2-year-old terrier mix looking for a loving home. She’s friendly with people once she’s comfortable, though a bit hesitant at first. Sadie enjoys attention and petting (especially on her chest and rear) but is a little head-shy. She’s playful but can switch to calm moments quickly. Sadie enjoys being outside and walks well on lead. She’s friendly with other dogs (though a bit shy at first) and a meet and greet would be required. Sadie would do best in a home with kids 13 and older.

If you have further questions, please email: [email protected]✨🌺 Shelter Bio: Melia, our sweet 2.5 Year old girl has endured so much, in such a short time. This 50 pound sweetie, originally arrived to the shelter in October 2022 after being found hungry and alone in an apartment after her owners left her behind. Once at the shelter, she was quickly reclaimed by a family member only to end up at the shelter again in June 2023. Then, October 2023 she went to foster, and was returned in January 2024 due to an incident in the home. Melia is going to need a patient home, where she can learn there are good people who want to do right by her. Since arriving back to the shelter, she has started to have mini-milestones! She is learning that leashes mean time to be walked! She is still a bit nervous in the kennels, however, once outside, she is eager to run, play and engage.

It’s heartbreaking that Mia ended up back at the shelter at 10 YEARS OLD AS A STRAY 💔 yes, you read that right! Adopted in 2019 and no one came to reclaim her. We are heartbroken for her! Mia is a sweet old soul that deserves a loving home ASAP! No dogs, kids 10+ 🙏🏼 🌺✨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 Mia, a sweet and affectionate 10-year-old Terrier mix who’s ready to charm her way into your heart! Originally Mia found herself at the shelter in 2019, got her self adopted but unfortunately wound up back here in late October, 2024, with on one to reclaim her. She’s easygoing and walks right in and out of her cage with no issues. Mia loves making eye contact and is a total wiggle-bug when being handled, showing no sensitivity at all. While she’s playful, she’s not interested in toys—she’d much rather focus on her human for attention! Mia is extremely friendly with all people and walks beautifully on a lead. She has a high prey drive, so she’s best as the only dog in the home. Mia would thrive in a calm home with kids 10+ who can give her the love and attention she craves.
