November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month! Often overlooked in shelters, senior animals have so much love to give. Adopting an older pet means welcoming a companion who may already be trained, more relaxed, and eager to enjoy their golden years with you, making November the purrfect time to open your heart and home to a new furever friend!
Available for adoption at the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter
Kai is a two year old playful little boy! This one-of-a-kind, handsome and distinctive-looking gentleman’s features are believed to stem from a combination of poodle and bully breed mix.
Kai has a playful, fun-loving, puppy-like mentality and is very eager to please. He came to the shelter lacking proper training or socializing. However, now he enjoys playing with his four-legged buddies, and his humans at the shelter. Kai has really come out of his shell. He would thrive in a home that will teach him how to “doggo” and give him the memories he was once denied as a puppy. This incredibly sweet boy is a diamond in the ruff, who will bring a lifetime of joy, adventure, and companionship to one lucky family’s heart and home.
Kai would do best in a home with older children and is likely to get along with cats and other dogs. Interested adopters are welcome to schedule a time to get acquainted with this very special boy.
If you are interested in meeting Kai, please fill out an adoption application. For more information regarding Town of Smithtown’s rescues, visit: TownofSmithtownAnimalShelter.com
