Razor

My story

Razor is a resilient 3-year-old terrier mix with a gentle heart and a spark for life that’s only just beginning to shine. He came to us under heartbreaking circumstances—found abandoned in a crate in an attic during a brutal New York heatwave, with barely any water and no way to call for help. Despite that, Razor holds no grudges. He meets each new day—and each new person—with cautious optimism and a quiet hope. Once out of his kennel, Razor eagerly steps into the world, ready for a walk, a game of fetch, or just a few minutes of connection. While he’s a little head-shy and hesitant about having his paws touched, he gives a soft pull-away, as if to say, “Maybe later.”Razor loves squeaky toys and rope games, and he really shines during playtime. He’ll fetch, trade toys like a pro, and even respond to `leave it` when it’s time to take a break. He knows how to sit, walks well on leash, and is friendly with new people—though he may be a little shy at first, he warms up quickly with kindness. Due to his tendency to become overstimulated during play or enthusiastic petting, Razor would do best in a calm, adult home with teens 17 and older who can respect his boundaries and energy. Razor is more than his past. He’s playful, affectionate, and quietly brave. With patience and love, he’s ready to bloom into the loyal companion he was always meant to be. He’s come a long way. Now he just needs someone to help him the rest of the way home.If you are interested in learning more contact our placement team at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter:E: Adoption@hempsteadny.govE: Foster@hempsteadny.govE: Rescue@hempsteadny.govT. 516.785.5220#Adoptme #adoptionistheoption #takemehome #adoption #rescue #rescueismyfavoritebreed #opttoadopt #longislanddogs #longislanddogparents #adotions #dog #doggo #dogsofnewyork #newyorkcitydogs #NYCdogs #nycheatwave #rescuedog #nyadoptable #longislandanimalshelter #animalshelter #shelterdogs #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #rescuedogsarethebest
