Paw Prints

Corn-Nut

Welcome to the 36th edition of Paw Prints, a monthly column for animal lovers dedicated to helping shelter pets find their furever home.

Corn-Nut

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

Manny

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

Shelby

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

Fleetwood Mac

 

Meet Fleetwood Mac

Don’t “Go Your Own Way,” — come visit Mac today and be the hero of his “Dreams.” 631-360-7575

Mark Freeley and Storm

Crow

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

Frankie

Meet Frankie

This charming 10-year-old cockapoo at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter is ready to find his forever home!

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

Miss Beautiful

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

Waiting patiently at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, this little guy is Gizmo, a spirited 10-year-old with a heart full of zest and a personality that’s anything but old! Despite his years, Gizmo is brimming with energy and loves to take charge of bird and squirrel duty in the yard. When he’s not on patrol, you’ll find him happily curled up in your lap, basking in the sun, or enjoying a leisurely walk. 

Gizmo does have a few quirks—he prefers not to have his back end touched and might show a little attitude if it happens (just a hint of spice!). He also has a cherry eye, but don’t let that fool you; it doesn’t impact his vision one bit. Gizmo would thrive in a home with a low-key canine companion to share his golden years and would do best with children aged 12 and up. He is neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a loving lap companion with a playful side, Gizmo is ready to bring joy and warmth to your home!

Sweet and innocent little birdie girl was abandoned at a local park. Her loyalty and intelligence were instantly evident to Shelter staff when she was found frightened, confused, and hesitant to leave the spot where she was dumped.

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
