Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week, Luna Fluffington! This beautiful brown tabby lady is a seven-year-old Scottish Fold Straight, with a gentle personality and a love for attention… and snacks! Luna came to the shelter after being lovingly surrendered due to allergies in her previous home. Once Luna feels comfortable, her affectionate side quickly shines through. She loves being close to her people, soaking up affection, and keeping an eye out for any opportunity to sneak a snack from your plate! Luna has lived happily with another cat and is known for being patient and easygoing with her feline companions. While she can be shy around young children, she is incredibly sweet and gentle with everyone she meets and would do best in a calm home with older children who will allow her time to settle in comfortably. She may also do well with a calm, respectful dog. With her calm nature, sweet disposition, and loving personality, Luna Fluffington is ready to find a forever home where she can enjoy all the attention and companionship she deserves. If you are interested in meeting or adopting Luna, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with your prospective soul mate in a domestic setting.

Available for adoption at North Shore Animal League America

Pop has spent nearly her entire young life waiting for a family to call her own. Rescued in the summer of 2023, the world was a scary place for her at first — loud, unfamiliar, and overwhelming for such a gentle soul. But everything changed when she got a glimpse of something better. In a loving foster home, Pop began to understand what safety, comfort, and kindness truly feel like… and she blossomed. Now two years old, Pop is ready — truly ready —for the forever she’s been dreaming of for so long. She’s affectionate, loyal, and unbelievably sweet. With her soft brown eyes and signature happy smile, Pop has a way of making it feel like you’ve known her forever. She’s house-trained, knows her basic commands, and will gently nudge you when she’s looking for a little love or a well-earned treat. Pop is playful, goofy, and full of life, but she also has a sensitive heart. She’s looking for an experienced adopter and a home with older children, and no other pets, who can give her the structure, patience, and stability she deserves. She’s watched so many dogs come and go while she’s stayed behind… but Pop still believes her person is out there. She just needs someone to finally choose her. *Senior Alert* Meet Rascal! This handsome senior Shepherd mix from Virginia is looking for a special home to enjoy his golden years. Don’t let his age fool you — Rascal still has plenty of energy and will need a fully fenced 6-foot yard to keep him safe (he’s quite the jumper!). Rascal would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with an experienced dog owner who can provide the patience, structure, and leadership he needs. He can be fearful with new people, so a calm, consistent environment — and a meet-and-greet with everyone in the household — will help set him up for success. He’s happiest as the only pet, where he can build a strong bond and enjoy a peaceful routine with his people. With time, understanding, and love, Rascal will be a deeply devoted companion to the right home that adopts him. Meet Rocky, a breathtaking five-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who has been waiting far too long for a second chance at love. After the heartbreaking loss of his owner, Rocky’s whole world changed, and while shelter life has been a big adjustment, his gentle, loving spirit is still so very much intact. Rocky is the kind of dog who just wants to be yours. He would thrive as your one and only, happily soaking up all the love and attention you have to give. In the park, his playful side comes alive — he loves to run, explore, and enjoy every moment. But just as much, he knows how to slow down, and there’s nothing he loves more than curling up beside you after a long day, content just being close. He walks nicely on leash, is polite and incredibly sweet, and is a favorite in Animal League America’s Adventure Club, where he gets to explore new places and show off what a wonderful companion he truly is. Rocky is housebroken, knows his commands, and is ready to bring so much love into the right home. He’s looking for an experienced adopter and a home with older children, someone who will give him the stability, patience, and devotion he’s been missing for so long. Meet Mac. This speckled, one-year-old terrier mix from Georgia is full of personality and love. He’s looking for a home with older children, and everyone in the household will need to meet him before adoption to build a strong, respectful bond. Macaroni prefers to be the only pet, as he’s shown some dog-directed aggression and resource guarding. He can also be a bit wary of strangers, so slow introductions and a patient, understanding environment will help him feel secure. Because he’s vocal, he’s not suited for apartment living. With an experienced owner who understands canine behavior and can provide structure and guidance, Macaroni has all the potential to be a loyal, spirited companion. *Double Adoption* Take a stroll through our newly refreshed Long Term Care Home, and you might be greeted by five-year-old siblings Mercury and Mars, happily birdwatching from their favorite Catio spot. These shy friends have been with us since kittenhood, learning to trust through patience, gentle care, and (of course) treats. Now they’re ready to take the next step and find a home of their own. With an experienced family, older children, and a calm, predictable environment, Mercury and Mars will continue to blossom, especially if they can keep up their favorite pastime of watching the world go by. Ready to adopt this sweet duo for yourself? Ask about meeting Mercury and Mars today! Five-year-old Remsen got a fresh start when he arrived from a New Jersey municipal shelter, which included a much-needed dental to help him feel his best. This tender tuxedo is soaking up all the care and attention, happily greeting visitors from his cozy cat tree cubby while collecting treats, ear rubs, and enjoying a good roll in catnip. Remsen is clearly relieved by the positive turn his life has taken, but we’ve promised him this is just the beginning. He’s saving all that gratitude for the person who adopts him and gives him his forever home — could that be you? No drama here — at least not with humans! Three-year-old Brama absolutely loves people and isn’t shy about showing it with plenty of enthusiastic head bumps. While she prefers to be the only cat in the home, that just means more love for you. She’s a wonderful choice for someone looking to share their life with one beautiful, affectionate companion. Brama is FIV+, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit; it’s just another small hurdle this outgoing tuxedo girl has already overcome. After making her way from North Carolina, she’s more than ready to meet her person. Don’t keep her waiting… Brama is ready to be adopted and be your one and only, fur-ever.
