Clark And Eddie, 'Incredibly Sweet And Affectionate': Smithtown Adoptable Pets Of The Week

SMITHTOWN, NY — Clark and Eddie, male dogs around 4 years old, are the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pets of the Week.

They were found wandering together by a good Samaritan, according to the shelter.

"While they do enjoy each other's company, they are not bonded," the shelter wrote. "We would absolutely love to adopt them together. However, if the right homes were found for Clark and Eddie, we would consider separate adoptions. Both boys are nervous dogs and will need slow introductions to new animals. They love all people."

Clark is a bit more of a needy pup, wanting someone around most of the time, as he gets nervous to be on his own, according to the shelter Eddie is more adjusted to having his alone time.

"Both boys are incredibly sweet and affectionate."

If you are interested in meeting Clark and/or Eddie, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with them in a domestic setting, which includes the shelter's Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs and the Dog Walk trail. Family Pet Meet and Greets and at-home interactions are also welcome and an integral part of the adoption process.

While the shelter is open to the public, it asks that people call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Hours are currently Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays and Wednesday evenings are by appointment only.

To inquire about the Pet of the Week or to meet your potential soulmate, call the Smithtown Animal & Adoption Center at 631-360-7575.

The Smithtown Animal Shelter's primary concern is finding the perfect home for each animal that finds his/her way to it. The Animal Control Officers at the Smithtown Animal Shelter will go out of their way to ensure both the rescued and rescuer are made for one another. If you have other pets, you can arrange to bring your four-legged family member into the shelter or they can set up an at-home meet & greet to see how your prospective new addition does with other family members, pets or the household itself. Please allow yourself an hour minimum to meet with your potential new family member.

The shelter is also seeking foster volunteers. Foster parents provide temporary care for cats, kittens and dogs in their own homes. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for an extended time. Potential fosters need to have no other pets or young children in the home.
