Maximus

MEET MAXIMUS!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Maximus,  patiently waiting at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for his furever home. This medium haired boy just turned five in February and is fairly new to the shelter. He was loved from the moment he was found outside as a stray kitten. Sadly, his family fell upon hard times and could no longer give him the life he deserves. 

While Maximus is adjusting at the shelter and is still heartbroken, it may take him a little time to warm up. Earning his trust is worth its weight in gold…as he will shower you with endless purring, adoration and unconditional love. Maximus has already proven to be a beloved companion and deserves another chance to find his person. Let’s help him find a lifetime of purr-fect memories. Maximus would do best in a quiet home with older children. 

If you are interested in meeting this sweet boy, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with him in the Meet and Greet room.

The Town of Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. Visitor hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings by appointment only). For more information, call 631-360-7575 or visit www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com.

MEET BETTY BOOP!

Break out the tissue box because we are determined to change Betty Boop’s fate. This couch hippo (approximately twelve year-young Female pibble mix) has spent FIVE years at the Smithtown Animal Shelter and deserves to wake up one day snuggled up next to YOU! She is a low-key, affectionate, wiggle monster, who aside from snoring and passing gas at will, just wants a couch, Netflix marathons and a human to call her person.

Betty loves to dip her feet in the kiddie pools and fancies herself a magician…  She can turn stuffed animals into snow. If you give her a treat and a belly rub, she’ll be your friend for life. Seriously… this velcro couch seal will cling on to human connection at first boop. Betty suffers from significant arthritis in her hips and knees and will need a home that can manage daily medications. Betty Boop would be best suited as the only pet in a mellow adult-only home. Easter is this weekend and all Betty Boop is wishing for from the Easter Bunny is for one very special someone to step up to either adopt or “Forever Foster” her. Will you be her miracle?

If you are interested in meeting Betty Book, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

Cannoli

This week’s featured shelter pet is Cannoli, a black and white domestic short hair up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. 

Have you ever wished for a cat that needs you as much as you need them?

Estimated to be around 9 years old, this sweet and affectionate cat has had her heart broken twice! Both were not her fault. Her first pet parent went into assisted living, and surrendered her to the shelter. The second pet parent passed away suddenly. 

Cannoli needs her next home to be her final home. Nothing but the best will be accepted for this lovely girl! She has no medical issues, likes children and calm dogs and most likely other cats. 

If you are interested in meeting Cannoli, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

MEET JITTERBUG

This week’s shelter pet is Jitterbug, a Female American Staffordshire Terrier Mix up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.

Estimated to be between two and three years-old, this little nugget of happiness was initially adopted from Florida. However, she was sadly surrendered to the Animal Shelter due to a penchant for escape. The dedicated team at the Animal Shelter and her trainers confirm that this young lady is the most outgoing, friendly pup who enjoys meeting new friends. To say that Jitterbug is a social butterfly would be an understatement.

This sweet girl has so much love to give, is full of energy and can be adopted to a home with older children, other dogs (preferably her size) and possibly cats. She is an absolute crowd-pleasing delight, who would make a wonderful addition to a household looking for a fun-loving companion.

If you are interested in meeting Jitterbug, please fill out an application  and schedule a date/time to properly interact in a domestic setting, which includes a Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs, and a Dog Walk trail.

The Town of Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. Visitor hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings by appointment only). For more information, call 631-360-7575 or visit www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com.

MEET ROSEMARY!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Rosemary, a two-year-old female brown tabby cat who arrived at the Smithtown Animal Shelter on Jan. 23. 

Little Rosemary was found as a stray begging for food. She can be a little shy/hesitant at first, but loves to have her head and face petted. She chirps at you for food and is learning to trust more people. She would do best in a quiet home with a little patience. Rosemary will reward that patience with love.

Kai

MEET KAI

This week’s featured shelter pet is Kai, a 2-year-old grey and white bully/poodle/terrier mix available for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.

Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear was adopted on January 27! Happy life sweet boy!

Below is the original post on January 24.

MEET SWEET YOGI BEAR!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Yogi Bear, a  senior who has been given a second chance at life, thanks to Save A Pet in Port Jefferson Station. 

This sweet boy is a weathered soul with a scruffy coat and tired eyes that reflect the hardships he’s endured. He had been wandering the streets in Georgia forever, eating the scraps of food people sometimes tossed his way. Then he was taken off the streets and placed on death row at an overcrowded shelter. At his age, the chance of finding a forever home dwindled with each passing day. Then his luck changed. Save A Pet sprang to action and had him transported to Long Island.

Yogi is surprisingly resilient. Although he is nine or 10 years old, he loves to play and follows his caretakers around. A veterinarian has examined him and assured the shelter that he is fit for adoption. He has some arthritis and just wants a place to hang his hat. If you see his sweet face and gentle eyes, you will understand why this dog deserves a loving family to give him the home he has always wanted, but never had.

Do you have room in your heart for this sweet old bear?

Located at 608 Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station, Save A Pet is open seven days a week. Call 631-473-6333.

Taco Belle

MEET THE GORGEOUS TACO BELLE!

Can Purr-fection come in a cuter package? We think not … This lovable female Persian mix at the Smithtown Animal Shelter is approximately eight years young (estimated birthdate: 2015) and was found emaciated at her namesake; Taco Bell. She is outgoing, affectionate, vocal and a full-time love machine.

When she first arrived at the shelter she had severe tummy issues. However,  the Smithtown Animal Shelter has her gastrointestinal issues down to science, which can be managed through a restricted diet. As a result, her hair has grown lush and thick, she has packed on weight and is ready for a family to adore her around the clock.

Taco Belle is outgoing and loving with everyone and would do well in a home with kids, other cats and even dogs. She is just learning how to properly use a litter box and does have accidents from time to time. The staff at the shelter are hoping to find her a good home that can be patient through the learning process.

If you are interested in meeting Taco Belle, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. Visitor hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings by appointment only). For more information, call 631-360-7575 or visit www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com.
