Thank you to all who have been crossposting and networking for Romeo and Juliet's safe placement. I am happy to report that Romeo and Juliet, after being fostered and weaned away from one another for the last week and 1/2,  have been safely placed with a rescue group here on Long Island! Romeo will be going into a foster home that has the right environment for a senior dog who needs a warm place to sleep and good food to eat several times a day and Juliet will be going into the home of the executive director of the rescue group with other young dogs, to whom she has bonded.
The group who has so graciously offered to pull Romeo and Juliet is Paw Pact Alliance. A new group in name only, its executive director, Michele Pekar has been doing rescue for a very long time. Romeo and Juliet will be PPA 1st official residents : )
For those of you who so generously offered to send donations/pledges for the care and safe placement of Romeo and Juliet, Paw Pact Alliance is the organization who has committed to them. Their address is 14 Laurel Place, Farmingville, NY 11738 or contact Michele Pekar at info@pawpactalliance.com.
Finally, Romeo and Juliet are on their way to the rest of their lives and thanks to all of you and your tireless efforts in getting the word out on them. Thank you all so very much, we could NOT have done it without you!!
Please feel free to email for updates on R & J. I will be in close contact with Michele as to each of their forever homes!
Attached please view the picture of Romeo in his current foster home with his equally senior foster brother, Rocco. That picture was taken 8 hours after Romeo entered the foster home.

Cross Posting Saves Lives…
Town of Hempstead, Long Island (Now in Municipal Town Shelter )***ROMEO & Juliet Found Tied to a Tree…Abandoned…AGAIN!!!

These two beauties were brought in together as strays by an Animal Control Officer… They were found tied to the same tree. Apparently they had been in our care before and were always redeemed by their owners. Not this time. This time nobody came for them. Romeo is an absolute love whose tail NEVER stops wagging and Juliet is a bundle of nerves until she sees Romeo. Then she is confident going into to play bow and chasing Romeo all over the director's office. These are going to be dogs who do NOT do well without one another. They have obviously been with each other their whole lives, although Juliet is much younger than Romeo, she has not known life without him. Please consider giving these 2 their forever home TOGETHER. Apart, Juliet will surely crumble and I do believe Romeo will be heartbroken. Can a group take these 2 together and ensure they are adopted together? Or can someone open their homes for these 2? They are more bonded than any two dogs I have ever seen and it is heartbreaking to think they may not be able to get out of here together. Please consider pulling these 2 dogs and helping them stay together. As a municipal shelter, that is something we aren't able to do. Please help them. Please cross post and email blast these guys. We really want these two to go together!!!

You can contact me directly.
