May is a gentle and sweet kitten with an amazing tabby coat with flecks of orange. Some would almost call her blonde tabby, with just the cutest petite frame. May has some corneal scratching on her eye from an infection that wasn’t treated until she was rescued, but this doesn’t affect her sight at all. May loves to be carried around, groomed, and loves a bed or couch almost as much as she loves to sunbathe! She enjoys being with cats and can be found romping with her siblings in the foster home.

Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week, Lucky!  This handsome, black-and-white labrador mix is approximately four years old. Lucky is a golden nugget of joy in search of his four-leaf clover. Sadly, luck was not on his side when he was abandoned by the people who adopted him due to a change in their living situation. Despite his heartbreak, Lucky remains incredibly sweet, loving, and playful. The dedicated team at the Animal Shelter exclaims that this good boy is the most outgoing, friendly pup who loves meeting new people. To say that Lucky is a social butterfly would be an understatement. 

Lucky has so much love to give, is full of energy, and can be adopted to a home with children, and likely other pets. He has a penchant for escape, so this is something that his future family will need to keep in mind. Lucky is an absolute crowd-pleasing delight, who would make a wonderful addition to a household looking for a fun-loving companion.

Buffy is the sweetest seven-month-old dog, who arrived during an emergency rescue down in Florida after Hurricane Helene. She has a covered medical condition called a hypermetric gait that makes her walk a little silly, but other than this, she is a perfectly healthy pup! Playing with other dogs is her specialty and does well with young children!

Nellie is a gorgeous one-year-old terrier mix who sadly came back to Animal League America due to unforeseen circumstances. She is a super loving and sweet girl once she gets to know you and would do best with an owner with previous dog-experience. Nellie does well with other dogs but not so much with cats. Nellie will do best in a home with older children.

Seven-year-old Milo didn’t have the best of luck finding a place to feel entirely safe, but things are looking up for this sweet fellow now that he’s enjoying the safety of staying with us. Despite a rough beginning in and out of his previous home, he’s relishing the peace and quiet he never had before. Loafing on beds and waiting for treats and ear rubs is exceeding just what he needs. He can really get used to this lifestyle! A home as the only pet would make his wildest dreams come true.

Eight-month-old Gabardine is looking forward to the glorious day when she gets to enjoy all the freedom of roaming around her first real home. This energetic kitten arrived with her mom, and needed an extended stay with vets to help relieve her of dermatological issues. A special diet has helped her overcome that obstacle, and in partnership with our Pet Health Centers, her treatments will be covered at cost when using Animal League America facilities. Although she’s not a fan of extended cuddles, Gabardine loves playtime! A home with older children who have a lot of energy would make you the perfect fit for Gabardine!
