The Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter has announced the release of its first-ever 2025 Animal Shelter Calendar, showcasing irresistible cats and dogs currently in need of loving homes. This limited-edition calendar is not just a delightful addition to your desk or home but also a heartfelt reminder of the importance of pet adoption.

Each month highlights a shelter animal hoping to find a forever family. Many of the featured pets have been overlooked for adoption for years, making their spotlight in the calendar an opportunity to shine a light on their unique personalities and lovable qualities.

The production of the calendar was made possible through Rescue Rocks, with a suggested donation of $30 per calendar. All of the proceeds (100%) will directly benefit the shelter, funding critical emergency and veterinary care in the coming year.

“This calendar is the perfect New Year’s gift for animal lovers! Not only does it help raise funds for vital care, but it’s also a beautiful way to spread awareness. A coworker, friend, or family member might see a photo of their perfect four-legged match and give a deserving pet the home they’ve been waiting for. Some of these animals have spent years dreaming of their forever family. With this calendar, we hope to turn those dreams into reality,” said Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo, Animal Shelter Liaison.

Featured Animals Include:

  •  Blaze (January): The shelter’s longest resident (over five years) is a loyal, affectionate chocolate-brown pup with a New Year’s wish to find his forever family.
  • Betty-Boop (April): A low-key, 12-year-old “couch hippo” who has spent five years at the shelter. This sweet pibble mix is the ultimate Netflix snuggle buddy.
  •  Mia (December): A goofy, fun-loving Mastiff/Labrador mix longing for a Christmas miracle after four years at the shelter.

    Additional months feature a mix of playful kittens, resilient seniors, and affectionate dogs, all waiting to meet their match.

Butterball

ADOPT BUTTERBALL!

This week’s featured shelter pet is Butterball, a smorgasbord of purr-fection and available for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. This handsome, portly, domestic short-haired brown tabby, is a six year old boy who comes equipped with a banquet of love to give one lucky family. Butterball lived in a home until the owner moved, only to abandon him and his other feline friend companions behind. Despite his heartbreak and desertion, Butterball is ever so sweet, and in search of his forever home where he can bring endless joy and laughter to one lucky family!

While at first encounters, Butterball may appear to be on the shy side. However, with a little patience and gentle persuasion to earn his trust, will culminate into a jumbo-sized dose of unconditional love and loyalty. If his rotund personality is the total package for you, then the sweet sound of Butterball’s endearing purr, and endless devotion is the icing on the cake. It is nearly impossible to resist Butterball’s charming nature once he trusts you. Simply put, this is one of the most lovable and huggable best buds you will ever meet!

Butterball would thrive in a serene home with older children, mellow dogs, and cats. While his size and stature make him unique and adorable, he will need a family that will support him in sticking to a healthy diet to help him meet his weight loss goals for the new year.

If you are interested in meeting Butterball, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

Leslie

ADOPT LESLIE!

This magnificent, all-black, domestic short-haired lady at the Smithtown Animal Shelter is estimated to be less than a year old. The lovely Leslie was brought to the shelter as a stray. The Team at the Shelter believed she would be claimed however, no one came for sweet Leslie.

Leslie is the PURR-fect, well-mannered ladylike feline. Upon making her acquaintance, she will approach you in a laid back fashion, and will gladly accept pets, snuggles and a good scratch behind the ears. It only takes a short period of time for this bewitching beauty to reveal her fondness for humans, and receiving unconditional TLC. Leslie is a sweet, laid-back, girl who genuinely appreciates the simple pleasure of human companionship. She is young, healthy, and ready to find a lucky family to love and be loved unconditionally.

Leslie would thrive in a serene home with older children. She prefers to be in the company of humans and is not fond of other animals in her space, therefore, she would do best as an only pet.

If you are interested in meeting Leslie, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

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.

Buster

ADOPT BUSTER FOR THE HOWLIDAYS!

This 4-year-old 90 pound male chocolate lab at the Smithtown Animal Shelter is fun and affectionate. He loves all people, taking walks and FOOD!

This handsome, healthy, and energetic boy was brought to the animal shelter due to a change in his family’s circumstances. We simply can’t comprehend how this dapper dog hasn’t managed to lock down a great home yet.

Buster is athletic, and is not shy when it comes to showing off how fast he can fetch a tennis ball. He gets the “bootie wiggles” upon greeting him… which will provide for endless laughter and joy for one lucky family. Buster is a rambunctious tweenager, who has some resource guarding, so he may not live with younger children or other animals. His best life would be with a family who has experience, patience and understanding, when it comes to the highly intelligent mind of a labrador.  A little persistence is worth it for this chocolate lab, who melts hearts and has a very long life of unconditional love, laughter and memories to give.

If you are interested in meeting Buster 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.

Adopt Lucky!    

This handsome, black-and-white male, labrador mix at the Smithtown Animal Shelter is approximately four years old. Lucky is a golden nugget of joy in search of his four-leaf clover. Sadly, luck was not on his side when he was abandoned by the people who adopted him due to a change in their living situation. Despite his heartbreak, Lucky remains incredibly sweet, loving, and playful. The dedicated team at the Animal Shelter exclaims that this good boy is the most outgoing, friendly pup who loves meeting new people. To say that Lucky is a social butterfly would be an understatement.

Lucky has so much love to give, is full of energy, and can be adopted to a home with children, and likely other pets. He has a penchant for escape, so this is something that his future family will need to keep in mind. Lucky 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 Lucky, 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.

Gorgs

MEET SAMMY AND GORGS!

These dapper, domestic short-haired, white tabby, male housemates at the Smithtown Animal Shelter are only two years old. Despite their remarkable resemblance, Sammy and Gorgs are not biological brothers. These beautiful boys were adopted together at the shelter as baby kittens. Sadly, hard times fell upon them when their Dad’s living situation changed, and he was not permitted to take his furry family members with him.

Sammy

Upon making the boys’ acquaintance, you will quickly learn that it doesn’t take Gorgs very long to warm up to people. A little attention and gentle petting will be instantly rewarded with the sweet sound of his endearing purr, and endless affection. Sammy is a bit on the shy side, but once you earn his trust, you will receive unconditional love and loyalty. It is nearly impossible to resist Sammy’s charming nature when he reveals how exceptionally lovable he really is.

This duo will warm your heart and offer a lifetime of cherished memories to share. These boys have been through a lot, therefore the team at the shelter would prefer them to find a forever home together. However, they are not bonded and could be separated for the right situation. Both are healthy and would likely fit purr-fectly in most homes, including those with older children, cats, and calm dogs.

If you are interested in meeting Sammy and Gorgs please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

All of the felines at the Shelter are current on vaccines and have received a full workup (blood work, Feline HIV & Leukemia tested, physical exam etc) by a board certified Veterinarian.
