My story

Poor little Juniper came into the shelter as a stray, in February 2018, after being found running loose on the streets. She was terrified when she first came in, but slowly but surely came out of her shell. Sadly, Juniper has been with us so long, she is now considered one of our longest residents. She is 8 years old and has been in foster care since 2020. She loves to lay out in the sun, and get love and attention from her foster mommy. Juniper makes the most loyal friend, is super smart (knows a tons of commands), is house trained, crate trained and is just a chill girl to hang out with. Juniper's ideal is home is with a single person household with no other pets. Juniper is only available to rescue groups, so if you are a rescue and would like more information: please email: rescue@hempsteadny.gov
