Whether you’re saving a life by adopting a new best friend this weekend or hanging with your existing pet, here are some tips to help ensure their safety this Fourth of July:
A Very Special Adoption Request
When a local animal advocate and rescuer recently entered hospice, she leaves behind her three beloved cats, Cowgirl, Stanley, and Manny. These sweet kitties are lonely and confused without their mom and are seeking a new forever home immediately.
Cowgirl is a 5-year-old sweetheart who is friendly with other cats. She can be timid at first so needs a patient owner to help her along the way. Her bestie, Manny, is also 5 years old with the same type of purrsonality. They would likely do best if they could be adopted together.
Eight-year-old Stanley is the mayor of the group! This little man gets along with everyone, even other cats AND dogs.

Available for adoption through Lend-a-Paw Inc.
Meet Rome! This handsome and lucky little 4.5-month-old boy was saved from the kill shelter this spring. He is a fan favorite as he is full of life and energy. He is great with other cats, however he is still a kitten, so being adopted by a family who has young, playful cats would be preferred. Oh, he also knows how to play fetch…wow!
Penelope was found wandering the streets by a volunteer who brought her in after noticing what a sweetie–pie she is! Penelope loves to be pet and loves to snuggle. She is between 2-4 years old and ready to go home with you today!
Lend-a-Paw was asked to rescue four-month-old Dexter after he had demodex, a curable skin condition. He is an amazing little puppy with a sparkling personality. He loves to play with other dogs and go for runs.
Two-year-old Lobo was rescued from the euthanasia list in Manhattan late last year. To help him live his best doggy life, Lobo will need to be a solo pet in a home with kids 13+ due to his resource guarding. He is a truly loving boy who needs a family who understands his breed and his needs, including lots of exercise and playtime.
Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter
**Special Request** Chevy is a two-year-old Pit Mix who had a very difficult start to his young life. It’s hard to imagine that this happy pup was once found on the side of the road, broken and beaten this past New Year’s Eve. Thanks to the kindhearted nature of law enforcement at the Suffolk County Police Department, a truly devoted team at Animal Surgical Center, one saintly foster family, and the selfless team at the Smithtown Animal Shelter, Chevy is thriving, back to good health, and awaiting his furrever home. Since his recovery, Chevy has become quite a celebrity, making appearances in viral TikToks, and getting profiled by News 12 and Newsday. Chevy loves to listen to music, especially Andrea Bocelli, earning him the nickname Bocelli, or Bo for short.
Chevy is finally getting to experience the happy puppy life that he never had before. He has gained back weight, is strong and mobile despite still having a slight limp and loves to snuggle and kiss. Even though he was mistreated by humans before, he is still very trusting and friendly to all new people. He gets along with some dogs and has lived in a multi-pet home for the period of his recovery. Chevy is the perfect example of the ultimate comeback story, and he won’t let anything get him down.
If you are interested in meeting Chevy, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with him in a domestic setting, which includes the shelters Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs, and Dog Walk trail. Please call the Smithtown Animal Shelter at 631-360-7575 for more information today.
