Paw Prints: Meet Jayna, Flap Jack, Crow, Frankie and Miss Beautiful
Welcome to the 35th edition of Paw Prints, a monthly column for animal lovers dedicated to helping shelter pets find their furever home.
Meet Jayna
This adorable two-year-old Yorkie mix at Little Shelter in Huntington loves toys, attention, and a world without boundaries! While new on the scene, she’s already made an impression and won several hearts with her spunky attitude. This little whirlwind has been stirring up all the possibilities that lie ahead for her bright future, including a forever home. Outgoing and social, she’s ready to interview prospective candidates, so you’ll want to be first in line for this happy, affectionate girl who checks all the boxes…her name is Jayna! 631-368-8770
Meet Flap Jack
This special needs kitten at the Smithtown Animal Shelter needs a very special home. Flap Jack was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a condition that affects motors skills and coordination. His mobility is pretty compromised, but this smart boy uses his litter box and gets to his food like a champ. He has a fully functioning purr box that he keeps on full blast at all times and is all love, affection, spunk and determination. He needs the perfect home that will understand and support his mobility issues. 631-360-757
Meet Crow
This beautiful boy has been at Save A Pet in Port Jefferson Station for almost two years! Look at this big goofy guy! Crow is a 3-year-old pit bull and a Southern gentleman. He had a rough start in life and came to New York emaciated, with heart worm disease. He even had buckshot removed from him. Instead of being treated with love, he was target practice for the locals. Crow was robbed of his puppyhood and was instead abused, and discarded. He holds no grudges and is now a gorgeous Northern gentleman. Crow is big and strong but has been a star in obedience at the shelter. He gets along with most dogs but may chase cats and would do well in a home with older children. Come meet him today! 631-473-6333
Meet Frankie
This charming 10-year-old cockapoo at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter is ready to find his forever home! Surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him, this spirited senior still has plenty of spunk. Frankie loves to zoom around, chasing tennis balls and engaging in playful antics that will keep you smiling. This sweet boy also adores his stuffies and is house-trained and crate-trained, making him a perfect addition to your family.
Frankie walks well on a leash and is eager to explore the great outdoors—he’d thrive in a home with a yard. He would do best in a home with older children (16 and up) and may enjoy a calmer canine companion, but a meet-and-greet is essential to ensure everyone gets along. If you’re looking for a delightful companion to share your golden years with, Frankie is ready to bring joy and laughter into your life. Come meet this lovable boy and see how he can brighten your days! 631-451-6955
Meet Miss Beautiful
Hello gorgeous! Waiting at Kent Animal Shelter in Calverton for her furever home, Miss Beautiful is appropriately named. A long-haired beauty from Georgia, she is 5 years old and weighs 7 pounds. Her owner passed away leaving many cats behind. She came to Kent hoping to find a new family to love her. She is very shy and the shelter staff thinks she is still mourning the loss of her home and family. She comes out of her condo to explore when no one is around and is very vocal about it. She enjoys human attention, welcoming neck scratches and lap time. Miss Beautiful would probably do best in a quiet home with lots of attention. Will that be with you? 631-727-5731, ext. 1
