Meet Ruffles

This no frills, frilly girl is Ruffles, a nine year old Havanese mix up for adoption at Little Shelter in Huntington.  Finally finding herself on solid footing, she’s slowly learning to trust in her future and the possibility of a real home. Starting to accept all the well-deserved attention coming her way, she can often be seen settled into someone’s lap, enjoying pets and idle conversation. Full of feminism and flair, she’s poised to become the most delightful companion and loyal friend, given the opportunity of time and patience. Stop by to meet Ruffles and see the possibilities! 631-368-8770, ext. 21

Russet

Meet Russet

The approximate weight of a sack of potatoes, meet Russet, an eleven year old Havanese mi at Little Shelter in Huntington. While this Passage to Freedom traveler is gaining confidence every day, he’s still a bit reserved meeting new friends and is hoping to find a quiet, experienced home where he can settle in and feel secure. The Havanese are known to be intelligent and adaptable, so before you know it, Russet will be participating in all your fun family activities.

If you think this “spud” could be for you, stop by to meet Russet today!

*Fun fact: Charles Dickens owned a Havanese named Tim, who was beloved by his seven children.* 631-368-8770, ext. 21

Tuna and Caesar

Meet Tuna and Caesar

These adorable kittens were dumped in a parking lot on a hot day in a closed box. Luckily they were brought to the Smithtown Animal Shelter and are available for adoption.  

Estimated to be approximately 6 months old, Caesar is the whole package: sweet, funny, outgoing and playful.

Approximately 9 months old, Tuna is a very affectionate, playful and outgoing little lady. She was a very young mom and was abandoned with her baby and housemate when she was pregnant again! She deserves to have a home that will adore her and pamper her for life. Tuna is FIV positive.  FIV+ cats can live long and happy lives with other cats without issue. Tuna would love to be adopted with Caesar, but may go individually for the right home. 631-360-7575

Daisy Mae

Meet Daisy Mae

Patiently waiting at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, Daisy Mae is a charming 4-year-old mixed breed looking for her forever home. Despite being returned by her previous owner, Daisy Mae is bursting with affection and eager to find a family to call her own.

If there’s one thing Daisy Mae adores, it’s her toys! She’s absolutely smitten with stuffed toys, and there’s no better sight than watching her playfully chase after them or carry them during her walks!

Daisy Mae is a smart girl who knows her basic commands like “sit.” While she might have a short attention span, she’s eager to learn and please her humans. Plus, she’s already housebroken and crate trained, making her transition into your home a breeze.

Daisy Mae prefers to be the center of attention and would thrive as the only pet in the household. She’s not a fan of other dogs, so she’s looking for a home where she can be the queen of her castle with a fenced yard of her own. She would do best in a home with older children aged 16 and up. She loves to romp around and have fun, making her the perfect companion for active teens and adults alike. 631-451-695

Bonnie Luna

Meet Bonnie Luna

Hi, I am Bonnie Luna! I came from the Bahamas, so I am considered a Potcake! I have been at Kent Animal Shelter  for a long time. I get a little nervous and uneasy around new people, so it’s going to take a little while for you and I to become best friends and trust each other. I can become a very loyal furbaby if you give me a chance. Just ask the kennel workers about me and they will tell you once the bond of trust is there, it will be wonderful. It will take a little while for that to happen so you would have to come visit me regularly first, but I promise it will happen if you give me a chance. Thank you for learning a little bit about me. I hope to see you soon. 631-727-5731, ext. 1

Midnight

Though visually challenged, he is able to navigate the world quite well with just a bit of assistance, even running free on the hill with fearless abandon. Not letting what some may call a disability slow him down, Mr. Magoo makes the most of every day, finding joy in the simple things. Dogs live brave, beautiful lives brimming with trust and optimism…and if we let them, they’ll teach us to do the same. Stop by to meet a big mushy boy named Magoo and leave with your heart’s desire.  631-368-8770, ext. 21

Oliver

Meet Oliver

Oliver still waits at Little Shelter for a family that understands he is not perfect, unlike his first family who returned him after he was diagnosed with crystals in his urine, a very common, treatable condition. Oliver has also been diagnosed with a heart murmur and requires daily medication for it.

Shelter life is stressful for this little guy but luckily he has many human and feline friends to hang out with. Sometimes you can find him sharing a toy or a bed with his new pals.  Oliver loves to get special treats from his staff and playing with his friends as much as possible. Oliver has so much love to give and all he asks in return is to be loved, fed his special diet and given his meds each day. Come meet Oliver today! 631-368-8770, ext. 36

Heidi

Welcome to the 20th edition of Paw Prints, a monthly column for animal lovers dedicated to helping shelter pets find their furever home! 

Meet Starling

Starling

 

This sweet and stunning three-year-old dilute torti was adopted from the Smithtown Animal Shelter as a kitten and was recently returned due to allergies. Starling is as affectionate, vocal and sweet as they come. She was overindulged in her last home and was permitted to get extremely overweight. Other than a strict diet, her only needs are love and home that will never let her down. 631-360-7575

Meet Leah

Leah

The matriarch of the small dog kennel at Little Shelter, this thirteen-year-old Shih-tzu mix is Leah.

Friendly with others (as long as she gets her own way!), she enjoys a nice gathering that includes appetizers and spirited conversation. Not letting anything slow her down, Leah is a little powerhouse looking forward to spending her golden years in a forever home with her favorite person by her side … and, if you play your cards just right, it could be you! 631-368-8770, ext. 21
