With so many cuties available for adoption, it’s tempting to want to bring them home for the holidays. Before doing so, please remember pets require a considerable amount of time, attention, and financial resources for their care. Be sure to discuss the idea of pet ownership with everyone involved before making your home their new forever home.
Upcoming Events
Tomorrow, Saturday December 9th, be sure to visit the Town of Babylon Animal Shelter, 80 New Highway, Amityville, from 11-2pm for their Ho Ho Ho Home for the Holiday’s adoption event! Adoptions are reduced to only $25 which means it’s the most wonderful time of the year to bring home a new best friend! There will be gift baskets, raffles and merch to buy. Make a donation and receive a picture with Santa and a shelter pup!

Available for adoption at Lend-a-Paw Inc.
Clippers is just an adorable snuggle muffin that has faced quite a challenging year. He was discovered in a hoarders residence. He felt immense joy when someone who had learned about the situation welcomed him into their home. Without any available records, his new owner was unaware of his diabetes condition. Lend-a-Paw was happy to step in to help Clippers. A vet visit identified a severe ear infection which is now being treated. His diabetes is now effectively managed with a single crushed pill mixed into his food, a routine he handles like a true champion! Please consider adopting or fostering this handsome fella!
Apollo is a little darling, recently rescued from the brink of euthanasia at the ACC. He’s seeking a foster home that can provide transportation to veterinary appointments for his potential neurological condition. Apollo is presently accustomed to using wee-wee pads and it’s important for Apollo to either be the sole dog in the household or be placed with an experienced foster family that can carefully manage gradual introductions with other pets. At approximately 1.5 to 2 years old, Apollo is overflowing with affection, and he thoroughly enjoys his backyard playtime adventures.
*Senior Alert* The amazing Annabelle has truly transformed into such a lovebug-jumping on her foster mom’s bed, making biscuits in the morning. This sweet senior who was once neglected has finally learned what love is-and would love nothing more than a forever family to share it with this Christmas! Annabelle is about 16 years old and front declawed.
Meet Sensational Skittles! This ray of sunshine is looking for a forever home where she can continue to explore the house and play all day! It would make Christmas so special to be adopted with her brother Starburst, or at least have another feline friend to play with.
Starburst is a big purr machine that loves to cuddle with his sister. He is playful, silly and energetic but also loves to chill out and relax.
Tina was brought to Lend-a-Paw by one of their volunteers about one year ago, and she is still waiting for someone to see how terrific she is. Tina is a quiet girl who is looking for a forever family to give her lots of chin scratches!

Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter
Maizee is a two year-old Husky/Jindo Mix who was found as a stray and never claimed. She is a stunning ball of happy energy who enjoys meeting new people and going for runs. Maizee is looking for a family that can keep her active and shower her with love and affection. She needs to work on her leash manners but is otherwise perfectly well behaved. Maizee would do well in a home with dogs who can match her energy. A potential home should be careful when introducing her to cats and small children, as her strength can be a little overwhelming for them. Stunning Maizee is a total delight, so hoping she’ll find her forever home soon!
For more information about adopting Maizee, please fill out an application https://www.townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com/applications or call the shelter at 631-360-7575 for more information.
As always, thanks for reading and please remember to always adopt, never shop…pass it on!
