Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Six pound Roo may be tiny but what he lacks in body size he makes up for in ears! The holidays aren't always easy for everyone and naturally, with ears like that, Roo makes an incredible listener. He will be your companion, your shoulder to cry on, and he won't eat too much of your holiday takeout. He'll pour you a drink and watch game show reruns with you in the middle of the night. Roo is one of those unicorn chihuahuas that actually enjoys meeting new people and other dogs, so please, if you have room (he doesn't need much!), give us a call at 516-869-6311 or email us at animalshelter@northhempsteadny.gov to request an adoption application.
*Reminder* We are currently facilitating adoptions through appointment only. If you arrive at the shelter without an appointment to meet a dog, we may not be able to assist you.
Please call the shelter (516-869-6311) during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 9AM-4PM; Sat. 10AM-4PM) for more information about this dog, the adoption process at the shelter, and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.org for more information about and directions to the shelter.
