Update: Leo has been adopted! Happy life sweet boy!

MEET LEO!

This week’s shelter pet is Leo, an 11-month-old lab mix currently waiting for his furever home at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. This handsome man is as sweet as can be. He has lived with two smaller dogs and a cat and did well with all of them. He is timid, so he would do best with children over 12 years old. Leo has some issues with separation anxiety and will need a home that can help him manage that. He would be a perfect addition to any family.  

If you would like to meet Leo, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with him in a domestic setting.

Update: Yay! Toby has been adopted!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Toby, a 12-year-old Chihuahua mix currently up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. 

This sweet senior has not had an easy life.  He has been bounced from a few homes through a rescue in Florida and landed himself in Smithtown after getting loose on a busy road a few times.

Toby is very gentle and low key and is looking for the best possible home to show him some stability for his golden years. He gets along with everyone, but will need gentle dogs or older kids that will not pounce on him. He loves to go for walks and just be around people.  

If you would like to meet Toby, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with him in a domestic setting.

Sweet Apple Fritter was found as a stray and was never claimed.  This little lady loves people and is gentle natured.  She will likely do well with another dog her size that can help show her the ropes.  Apple was clearly not walked or exposed to the world because she shows a lot of fear. Her ideal home would be an active one with the ability to show her how to be confident and how to enjoy the world around her. She would be a wonderful addition to any home.

If you would like to meet Apple Fritter, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown.

This week’s featured shelter pet is lovely Delilah, patiently waiting at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for her furever home. Delilah and her brother, Samson were abandoned in a park after the death of their mom. 

Delilah is a bit dominant and does not accept other dogs, just her brother who submits to her well. She loves all people and getting attention. She has chronic dry eye and will need daily eye medication for life and has some skin sensitivities that will need to be managed as well. 

If you would like to meet Delilah, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

Linx

MEET LINX!

Linx

This week’s featured shelter pet is Linx, a 3-year-old German Shepherd. Linx is highly intelligent with a love for chasing tennis balls. He will only go to a home that has experience with the breed.  Linx is not a dog that enjoys cuddle time; if it’s not play time, he is not interested. He should be the only pet in a adult only home with lots of time to throw tennis balls and teach him new commands.

If you would like to meet Linx, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with him in a domestic setting.

The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown.

Mia

MEET MIA!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Mia, a 3-year-old pitbull/mastiff/lab mix who has sadly been at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for 2 years.

A volunteer favorite, Mia is a goofy dog who loves to play and throw toys around to make you laugh. She also enjoys car rides and snuggles!

Mia is very nervous about new people. She will need a home that can properly introduce her to a new environment in a way that makes her feel safe. She would do best as the only pet in an adult only home.  

If you would like to meet Mia, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with her in a domestic setting.

MEET SUNNY GIRL!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Sunny Girl, a 9 to 10-year- old spayed domestic short hair waiting at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for her furever home.

Sunny came from a home with lots of other cats and loves most of them too. She does have an overactive thyroid and will need a home that can administer twice daily medications and take her to the vet twice a year to check her thyroid levels.
