LI's Adorable Adoptables is a weekly column by Allison Matos, a lifelong Long Island resident who has been advocating animal adoption since 2012. Allison's weekly posts highlight local animals in need of adoption, and cover general animal welfare topics as well.
Sally is a gorgeous 5 1/2 year old tan and white baby girl available for adoption at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. Sally was brought to the shelter by her ‘finder’ who claimed they found her 4 days earlier, and wanted to keep her because she is so “sweet and pretty,” but that she wasn’t eating and they were concerned. Once Sally was evaluated, it appeared as though she was underweight running a high fever. She continued to not eat, and 12 hours later, after an x-ray that showed impacted stool, and bloat, emergency surgery was performed.
Thankfully, immediately after surgery, Sally felt better, was eating and her fever disappeared! Thanks to the wonderful medical staff at the shelter... fast forward 5 months and Sally is ready for her forever home. Sally knows multiple commands, is said to be house trained, and used to sleeping in bed with her former owners.
Sally also needs to be a solo pet in her new home. If you can make Sally's dream of finding a forever home a reality, please call for more information: 516-785-5220 or come visit at 3320 Beltagh Avenue, Wantagh NY 11793.
As always, thank you for reading. Please remember to always adopt, never shop. Pass it on.
