Name: India
Case Number: #7657
My name is India and I am a sweet, gentle lady. I love everyone, even the most unusual of strangers, and relish being petted and massaged.
I am currently living in with a great foster family, but need to find my forever home.
I am uncomfortable with some handling (paws, snout) and will need a patient adopter who will help me become more accepting of it. Due to my concerns about some handling, I may be more comfortable in a household of respectful tweens and up. I will readily share my food with people.

I tend to be stiff around other dogs and not playful. While I can tolerate them, I’d sooner have nothing to do with them. I am definitely a people-centric pooch.
I don't know any basic commands but I'm eager to learn for a taste of my favorite treats! I am proud to say that I walk nicely on the leash, and training will help us forge a relationship.
I would be best in an experienced home with guardians who are familiar with the typical breed characteristics of a Rottweiler
If you are interested in adopting India, please contact the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter at (516) 785-5220 and speak to Nancy, the adoption liaison.
The shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Adoption hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. All adopted pets will be spayed or neutered, will receive all required inoculations and will be microchipped, all free of charge.
The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is working hard to assist the many dogs and cats that have entered the shelter as a result of their owners being displaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. As part of the shelter's Orphans of the Storm Pet Adoption program, all adoption fees are being waived from December 1, 2012 to January 19, 2013.

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
