My story

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

Are you an old soul looking for pleasant company while you knit on the couch or tackle a particularly complicated jigsaw puzzle? Look no further than Homer, our 8 year old Cockapoo- a few minutes with Homer and a feeling of "zen" will wash over you and you will find yourself trying to remember why you were stressed in the first place. He is beyond sweet, low key, and even knows commands! Homer does have decreased vision, but after a visit with an ophthalmology specialist it was determined no treatment is needed at this time, but yearly specialist visits to monitor the progression of his vision loss will be necessary. Although Homer is the sweetest to everyone, due to Homer's vision loss we feel Homer would enjoy a quieter home without young children as he can be sound sensitive. If you would like to learn more about Homer please give us a call at 516-869-6311 or email at animalshelter@northhempsteadny.gov for more information.
