Adoptable Animal of the Week: Meet Candy

This playful dog (watch her play in her pool) is looking for a home.

Name: Candy

Case Number: #718

Hi, it's Candy again. It's been a little over a year since we last met but I'm still searching for my forever home. I'm now 3 years old, but just as sweet as my name implies.

I've been staying at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh. Click here to watch a video clip of me splashing around in the shelter's kiddie pool.

I'm a very happy dog. I am a terrier breed, but very gentle, friendly and good on a leash. I do have lots of energy, which makes me very good at my favorite game, fech. I also love getting belly rubs and I'm a bit of a ham when it comes to taking photos. 

I've already been spayed and I'm up-to-date on all my shots. Please stop by the animal shelter to meet me and consider making me a part of your family.

To learn more about adopting Candy, please contact the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter at 516-785-5220 or stop by the shelter, which 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 innoculations and will be microchipped, all free of charge.

From June 20 to Sept 20, the shelter is running its "Summer of Love" promotion, which means all adoptions are free!

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problemsRead 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 heldRead 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 thisRead 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.
