Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week: The Avenger Pups

SMITHTOWN, NY — The Avenger Pups are the Smithtown Animal Shelter's Pets of the Week.

"The Avenger Pups are a litter of adorable mushes that are all named after some of the unsung Avengers," the shelter wrote in a statement.

Bucky, Falcon, Rhodie, and Barton are all 7-month-old male Staffordshire/pit mixes, while Shuri and Wanda are 7-month-old female Staffordshire/pit mixes.

"Every single one of these pups has an incredibly happy, friendly, and affectionate personality," shelter staff said. "They’re very active, and love to run and play. They give the best kisses and snuggles! The Avenger Pups can be adopted as singles or in pairs, and they would do well in homes with children or large dogs."

If you are interested in meeting any of the Avenger Pups, 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.

Due to the coronavirus, the Smithtown Animal Shelter has had to restrict public access to confirmed adoption appointments and animal/wildlife rescue. 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.
