*Special Request* In addition to being gorgeous, Snoop Bird is a sweet “keet” who enjoys showcasing the enchanting sound of her endearing tweet. She is fairly new to the shelter, and still warming up to her caretakers, however she does allow them to put their hands in her cage well. With a little patience and a loving, gentle approach, the team at the shelter has every reason to believe she will be hand-tamed.
Snoop Bird would be the perfect addition to any bird-loving family. Like most parakeets, she would love to have a buddy. This little lady would make a wonderful addition to a lucky family’s heart and home.
*The Smithtown Animal Shelter is set up to accommodate Dogs and Cats exclusively. Only one exotic pet is able to be assisted at a time.
If you are interested in meeting Snoop Bird, please fill out an application. For more information regarding Town of Smithtown’s rescues, visit TownofSmithtownAnimalShelter.com

Six-year-old Shell’s long journey from Oman left him confused by what he’d experienced prior to arriving to the US for safety. Time fending for himself outdoors led to him being FIV+.

Their team’s reassurances paid off big time for this very vocal friend who calls out for attention with warm greetings.
Where he once was apprehensive about being near people, he now craves cuddles with visitors. Shell is now looking for a calm home with experienced adults and older children. If you’d like to end his search and begin a beautiful life together, ask about meeting him today!
Tommy is an adorable one-year-old Shepherd/Rottweiler mix who is ready to steal your heart! Rescued in September 2023 from South Carolina, Tommy’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring! When he first arrived, he was diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and entered Animal League America’s Help Me Heal program, where he received the care he so desperately needed. Thanks to their dedicated veterinary team, Tommy underwent a successful balloon valvuloplasty, and now he’s on the mend and ready for a forever home!
Currently thriving in a loving foster home, Tommy is living his best life filled with affection and joy. As a fully housebroken companion, he’s not just adorable but also ready to be a part of your family. Tommy enjoys playing with squeaky toys and may take a little time to warm up to new faces, but once he does, you’ll discover a sweet snuggle bug who just wants to be by your side. If you’re looking to add a loyal friend to your life, Tommy is waiting for you!
