Adopting a dog from town shelter

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board would like to remind residents about several dogs up for adoption at the Town’s animal shelter. This month’s featured pups include Maisy, Mason, and Legend.

Maisy is a one-year-old Shepherd mix ready to start the new year as your new best friend. Maisy is famous for her “zoomies” but will settle down once she gets them out. Maisy would make an excellent walking or jogging buddy; she loves to explore the outdoors.

She is a smart girl and seeks out your afection. Maisy would thrive in an active household with dog experience and older children.

Mason must have gone to Harvard before ending up in the shelter, because we can’t believe how smart this boy is. Mason walks well on a leash, crushes our agility course and loves romping on our nature trail.

He is an active guy but has excellent manners; he would make a great walking, jogging or hiking buddy. Mason gets along with other dogs but can be dominant. A meeting with any other dog in the home is required at the shelter before adoption.

Legend is a one-year-old 100% mutt; we tested his DNA and believe it or not, the highest breed, at 34%, is standard poodle. Legend came to us through The Shelter Connections Rescue program from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia.

He is an afectionate, energetic boy that lives to chase a ball. You need to have a good throwing arm to make Legend your new best friend. He gets along well with all people he meets and other dogs alike. Legend is slowly learning his commands but still needs a bit of work on his training. With a lot of love and little patience he will make an excellent companion.

North Hempstead TV channel 18/65 on Cablevision or channel 46 on Verizon FIOS, will be highlighting the dogs throughout the month. You can also watch videos of the featured pups on the Town’s social media pages.

The North Hempstead Animal Shelter is located at 75 Marino Ave. in Port Washington and is open Monday through Fridays (except holidays) 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To make an appointment to visit or for more information on a featured dog, please call 311 or 516-869-6311.

Her quick thinking and unwavering determination resulted in her removing the driver from the vehicle, extinguishing the ensuing fames, and skillfully managing the trafc fow until additional assistance arrived. Her fellow colleagues on the Town Board presented her with a proclamation of recognition to thank her for her dedication to the community and helping others.

Herricks High School’s Chamber Choir, Men’s Choir and Women’s Choir recently performed at the Harborside Senior Living Facility in Port Washington. For an hour, the Herricks students sang various musical selections they will perform at an upcoming Carnegie Hall concert. This was the choral group’s first visit back to the facility since December 2019.

Herricks High School seniors Namit Kapoor, Carolyn Lau and Patrick Leu have all been named a Regional Finalist for the 2023 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars Program and are moving to the next round of the selection process for a chance to become a CocaCola Scholar.

The three Herricks seniors were among 1,557 Semifinalists who were selected from over 91,000 initial applicants and are now part of 250 students who have moved to the final selection phase, regional interviews.

After these interviews are conducted in mid-February, 150 of the Regional Finalists will be designated as Coca-Cola Scholars and attend Coca-Cola Scholars Weekend in Atlanta, GA on April 13-16 where they will be the guests of honor at the 35th annual Coca-Cola Scholars Banquet and participate in the CocaCola Scholars Leadership Development Institute facilitated by program alumni.
