“Blaze is a polite and loving gentleman,” the shelter wrote. “In his free time, Blaze likes to play in the pool, go for long walks, and spend time with the people he likes. He hates cold weather and has a hard time with rain. Sweet Blaze loves company. Protect and be suspicious of meeting “new things.'' But this little habit can be easily managed and overcome by giving him treats…Cookies are a way to get closer to his heart. Overall, this wonderful boy is easygoing and gentle. Once he trusts you, he will love you and remain faithful by your side forever. ”
Blaze will do best in an adult-only home with no other pets. The shelter says prospective adopters must have experience with the breed.
If you are interested in meeting Blaze, please call ahead to reserve an hour to properly interact with Blaze in a home environment such as the shelter's meet and greet room, dog park, or dog walking trail. . Meet and greets and socializing with your family pet in your home are also welcomed and an integral part of the adoption process.
The evacuation center is open to the public, but people are asked to make reservations by phone in advance.
Current business hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with reservations required on Sunday and Wednesday nights.
To inquire about this week's pet or meet your potential soulmate, call the Smithtown Animal Adoption Center at 631-360-7575.
Smithtown Animal Shelter's main concern is finding the perfect home for each animal. The animal care staff at Smithtown Animal Shelter do everything they can to help both the rescued and the rescued. If you have other pets, you can arrange to bring your four-legged family member to the shelter or set up a meet-up at your home so that the potential new addition can meet other family members. You can also see how they interact with their pets, or family members. . Allow at least an hour to meet your potential new family member.
The shelter is also looking for volunteer foster parents. Foster parents provide temporary care for cats, kittens, and dogs in their homes. Some animals require as little as two weeks of care, while others require long-term care. Potential foster parents are not required to have other pets or young children in the home.
