My story

Wally is a sweet and playful 7.5-year-old terrier mix who is looking for a loving home to call his own. Though, his journey through life has not been an easy one so far. He initially came to us in 2019 and was covered in wounds which our medical team quickly treated. Since then, he had left the facility 2x, but ultimately wound up back here in December 2024, through no fault of his own. Nowadays, he`s a big fan of playtime! Wally loves all kinds of toys—balls, ropes, squeaky toys, and more—but he can be a bit protective of them. He’ll happily trade toys for other toys or tasty treats, making him a fun and engaging playmate. Wally is a bit timid with new people while in his kennel, but once he’s out, he’s much more open and friendly. He’s great with basic commands like `sit` and `down` and is always ready to please. On the leash, Wally can pull a little but listens well to corrections. Because of his energetic and playful nature, Wally would do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with adults or teens over 17, as he is a timid dog who enjoys a low-key life. Come meet Wally today and see if he’s the perfect fit for your family!!If you are interested in learning more on Wally, please contact our placement team:E: adoption@hempsteadny.govE: foster@hempsteadny.govE: rescue@hempsteadny.govT: 516.785.5220#adoptdontshop #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #adoptadog #bruisednotbroken #tohasdogs #dogsofny #dogsofnyc #dogsofli #adoptadogny #lookingforahome #longislanddogs #longislanddogmom #longislanddogdad #adoptionistheonlyoption #pittielove #pittiesrock #pitsrule #ifitaintpit #adoptables #adoptarescuedog #rescuedogsrock
