We’re starting this week’s adoption column off with an urgent donation request. This week, a Woodbury veterinarian was placed under arrest after 200 animals were found living in deplorable conditions in her home.
Humane Long Island has been on the scene rescuing ducks, geese, peafowl, songbirds, a prairie dog, and more. These animals can’t save themselves and rely on local heroes to help. Please consider supporting Humane Long Island’s work by donating at humanelongisland.org/donate
And now, for this week’s most adorable adoptables…
Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter
*Double Adoption* Meet Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pets of the week, inseparable pair, Johnny Cash and June Carter! Johnny (male) and June (female) sport matching red and brown coats and are approximately four years old. They are both pint-sized meatballs, about the same size as a bulldog. Their introductions to the public began when they were found wandering in Kings Park.
It quickly became clear that this exquisite pair had been used for breeding purposes and later carelessly discarded. Despite their misfortune, Johnny and June are two incredibly sweet, loveable house hippos! They enjoy tons of attention and never miss an opportunity to shine in the spotlight. This stunning duo deserves nothing short of finding a great family to show them what a fairytale ending really looks like.
These two have been through a lot together and adore each other. The team at the shelter would be thrilled if they could live happily ever after together however, under the right circumstances they can be separated. While June could possibly be placed in a home with other dogs, the only one for Johnny is June. They both would do well with children over the age of ten. They are young and healthy, however June has heat intolerance which needs to be managed.
If you are interested in meeting Johnny and June, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with him in a domestic setting. For more information regarding Town of Smithtown’s rescues, visit: TownofSmithtownAnimalShelter.com
