Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Emma Loves Cuddling Up, Belly Rubs
Plenty of adorable dogs are up for adoption in North Hempstead. This week we're featuring Emma.
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. Her name is Emma.
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.

Emma loves going on long walks on nature trails, crushing an agility course, and of course, a nice petting session. Emma is the perfect balance of playful and couch potato; outside she can keep up with the best of them, but once she's inside, a couch and a soft blanket are all she needs to relax.
She loves to cuddle up and get a belly rub! Emma is thrilled to meet all people, but she wants to be the only canine child in the household.
