Calling all husky lovers … this adorably, big, fluffy, goofy boy named Montana arrived at the shelter as a stray last month. He’s just 10 months old and loves to cuddle and play fetch! He adores other dogs and is pretty much like a real live teddy bear! He’s looking for an active home with kids 13 and older.
If you can open your home to Montana, please call for more information at 516-785-5220 or email adoption@tohmail.org.
Available for adoption through Almost Home Animal Rescue
You won’t need a bigger boat to bring this Jaws home. Jaws is a bit on the shy side, a little unsure of new people so it takes him extra time to warm up and show you his silly personality. Jaws would love a home with another cat to help him come out of his shell.
Sweet Cheeks has quite an interesting personality as he can be sweet and throw sass all at the same time! This fun fella enjoys rubbing up against your leg to get your attention and is a big fan of temptation treats — any flavor will do! Sweet Cheeks would do best in a quiet home with an experienced cat owner; someone who will truly understand and appreciate his purrrfect little self!
Meet Smokey! This handsome shy tux is a total sweetheart who loves to get attention and affection but won’t step in the way of another cat to get it, which sometimes means his true awesome personality doesn’t always show. Spend some time getting to know this guy and it’s guaranteed you’ll fall completely in love!

Sugar is a three to four-year-old Miniature Pinscher and Boston Terrier Mix who had a very rough start to her life. Sugar came from a breeding situation where she was used, neglected, and discarded. She arrived at the Animal Shelter in a malnourished and dehydrated state. As a result of this experience, Sugar is a bit fearful of men but can learn to accept them with treats and time. Despite all the pain she’s been through, Sugar is still energetic, playful, and loving. Her ideal home will be without other dogs or young children under 15. Sugar deserves nothing but the ultimate happily ever after and a home that will give her faith in people again. Sugar is ready for her story to be rewritten, and staff and volunteers know the perfect owner is out there for her somewhere.
If you can give Sugar a new “leash” on life, please call 631-360-7575 today for more information today!
