Welcome to the 36th edition of Paw Prints, a monthly column for animal lovers dedicated to helping shelter pets find their furever home.
Meet Corn-Nut
A good source of protein and healthy fat, meet Corn-Nut, an eleven year old Maltese mix at Little Shelter in Huntington. Knowing the importance of staying fit and active in his senior years, he’s always ready for a walk, throwing in an occasional sprint as interval training! While a bit reserved when meeting new friends, word on the street is that you can win him over with a good butt scratch! Known to be intelligent, curious, and playful, Maltese have trusting and gentle dispositions. If you’re looking for someone bursting with flavor and fun, stop by Little Shelter to meet the one and only Corn-Nut! *Corn Nut is mostly housebroken* 631-368-877
Meet Manny
Meet little Manny about town, an adorable six year old Maltese mix available for adoption at Little Shelter in Huntington. Handsome and stylish, he’s always well dressed and ready for any occasion, the perfect plus one for this holiday season and beyond. This affectionate fellow loves belly rubs, treats, and sweet talk…in that order! Take a stroll around town to see the Christmas lights, and with Manny by your side, the winter blues will be a thing of the past. It’s not what’s under the tree (or menorah) that matters, it’s who’s gathered around it. Stop by to meet the one you’ll want to kiss under the mistletoe…his name is Manny. *Manny is not completely housebroken.* 631-368-8770
Meet Shelby
This adorable 60 lb shar-pei mix at Brookhaven Animal Shelter is approximately 3 years old and ready to bring joy into your life! Shelby is a sweet and lovable girl with a happy-go-lucky personality. While she’s still learning how to play with toys, her enthusiasm for life is infectious.
Shelby arrived at the shelter as a stray, so her previous history is a mystery, but she’s eager to create new memories with a loving family. She’s always excited for walks and enjoys those delightful Zoomies in the yard. Since she is so strong on leash and high energy Shelby would need a home with a yard to zoom around in. Shelby is also a people-person (or should we say, people-dog) who loves checking in for pets and being social.
Shelby seems to have a liking for other dogs, but a meet and greet would be necessary to ensure compatibility with your furry friend. We’re unsure about her compatibility with cats, so further testing would be needed. Shelby would thrive in a home with children aged 16 and up.
If you’re ready to provide Shelby with a loving home and help her continue to blossom, please fill out a match maker application at the shelter’s website. She can’t wait to be your loyal and loving companion! 631-451-6955
Meet Fleetwood Mac
This sweet and incredibly outgoing tabby cat was found as a stray in November and was never claimed. Estimated to be approximately 2 years old, he is now safe at the Smithtown Animal Shelter and looking forward to a bright future. If you are looking for a clingy cat that craves your attention, this is the boy for you. He does have a runny eye that needs to be cleaned periodically. Don’t “Go Your Own Way,” — come visit Mac today and be the hero of his “Dreams.” 631-360-7575
Good Boy Storm
The staff at TBR News Media would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Mark T. Freeley and his family on the loss of their beloved dog Storm. The English Golden Retriever passed away on Nov. 12 at the age of 14. Storm became a local hero when he rescued a fawn who was struggling to stay afloat in Port Jefferson Harbor. We know the Three Village community and beyond will miss him. He was a good boy.
