Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Baron Is 'Ready For New Lease On Life'

PORT WASHINGTON, NY — For those looking to adopt a pet, a great place to look for your new family member is at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter. The facility, located at 75 Marino Ave. in Port Washington, houses dozens of dogs — and all of them need a furever home.

At Patch, we round up a list of adoptable dogs for a series called "Patch's Adoptable Pets of the Week." This week, one new dog came to the shelter — so we decided to just shine the spotlight on that resident pooch. His name is Baron.

The dog-only shelter is facilitating adoptions by appointment only. An appointment can be made by calling 516-869-6311. Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday (except holidays) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

BARON

Info from the shelter:

Friendly, fun-loving Baron came to us from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia through The Shelter Connection's rescue program — he is ready for a new lease on life!

Baron is a playful and affectionate guy that is ready to "continue his education" outside of the shelter. In the short time with us he has begun to learn some commands and has shown he is willing to please. Baron gets along well with other dogs but a meeting with any other dogs in the home at the shelter will be required before going home. He would thrive in an active household dedicated to continuing his training.

If you are interested in learning more about Baron, please call us at 516-869-6311 or you can email animalshelter@northhempsteadny.gov to request an adoption application.
