My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

World, meet Matt! Matt is a 5 1/2 month old yellow Labrador Retriever puppy with a typical story- an ill-prepared family purchased him as a gift for the kids and didn't realize what having a dog, especially a puppy, entails. Matt is sweet, playful, and goofy, but will need a family dedicated to continuing training and willing to to go through all the puppy motions. He's a large boy that doesn't quite know his size, and will likely reach over 70 pounds full grown. Matt gets along with other dogs, but because of his lack of dog-to-dog socialization before arriving to us, he can be a bit rough and slightly dominant- we are not recommending that he live with much smaller or senior dogs. If the right amount of time, patience, dedication, and love is put into Matt, we know that he will be an amazing companion. If you are interested in learning more about Matt, please call us at 516-869-6311 or email us at animalshelter@northhempsteadny.gov for more information.

*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.
