Adoptable Animal of the Week: Meet Candy (Again)

This playful dog (watch her play in her pool) is looking for a home.

Name: Candy

Case Number: #718

Hi, it's Candy again. It's been a little over a year since we last met but I'm still searching for my forever home. I'm now 3 years old, but just as sweet as my name implies.

I've been staying at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh. Click here to watch a video clip of me splashing around in the shelter's kiddie pool.

I'm a very happy dog. I am a terrier breed, but very gentle, friendly and good on a leash. I do have lots of energy, which makes me very good at my favorite game, fech. I also love getting belly rubs and I'm a bit of a ham when it comes to taking photos.

I've already been spayed and I'm up-to-date on all my shots. Please stop by the animal shelter to meet me and consider making me a part of your family.
