Packed with essential nutrients, an appetite for adventure and a good sense of humor, this happy fellow will most definitely change your life for the better! A desirable addition to any book club gathering, he is well-read and insightful and can be depended upon to provide the best snacks (first come first served!)….if Walnut sounds like the perfect fit for you, stop by to meet him today! 631-368-8770, Ext. 21
Meet Bubbish
The Golden Age is characterized by wisdom, contentment and useful leisure, epitomized by this twelve year old Pomeranian named Bubbish, up for adoption at Little Shelter in Huntington. Devilishly handsome, yet angelic in spirit, he loves nothing more than a cuddle, happily curling up next to your side every chance he gets. Like most seniors, he has a few health issues, including limited vision, yet is still the perfect walking partner, guided by your voice as you discuss the plans for the day. Upbeat and positive, you’ll find him to be the best company around, always leaving smiles behind. Stop by Little Shelter today and meet your new bestie, Bubbish! 631-368-8770, Ext. 21
Meet Eddie & Clark
These handsome devils at the Smithtown Animal Shelter are both estimated to be around 4 years young. They were found together, and do enjoy each other, but are not bonded. While the shelter would love to adopt them together, they will adopt separately for the right homes. Both are nervous dogs and need slow intros to new animals. They love all people. Clark needs someone around most of the time as he is nervous to be on his own. Eddie is more adjusted to alone time. Both boys are sweet and affectionate. 631-360-7575
Meet Kaos
Happy New Year to you too Kaos! This gentle, 85lb Robbie mix at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter is looking for her forever family. Kaos wandered the streets, hoping her family would find her, but sadly, they never came. Despite her name, she’s anything but chaotic! This sweet 5 to 6-year-old girl adores people and is thrilled to meet everyone she can.
Kaos is a strong girl who knows her basic commands, seems housebroken, and appreciates the comfort of a cozy dog bed. She’s a food lover and needs help with her weight loss journey after coming to us quite overweight. Eager for walks, she’s strong on the leash and could use some additional training, but she’d thrive in a home with a yard to explore enjoying sniffing and some fetch with toys. Even though her actual favorite activity involves pets and cuddles with her humans.
This goofy girl would shine in a home with children over 10 years old who appreciate her playful personality. Kaos is up-to-date on vaccinations and heartworm tested and spayed, ready for her forever home. Consider welcoming Kaos into your heart and home today! 631-451-6950
