Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Smokey

SMITHTOWN, NY — Smokey, an 8-year-old male pibble, was named the Smithtown Animal Shelter Pet of the Week. The shelter describes him as "a loyal, docile best friend for life who lives to love everyone he meets."

"Smokey has a cool and laid back personality and gets along with everyone," the shelter wrote. "He is affectionate and eager to please, and would be a great addition to any home!"

However, he is often overlooked because of his age. Still, the shelter believes he has plenty of great years ahead, buoyed by an outstanding personality.

"The truth is, he’d make a superb companion for big families or small, seniors, empty nesters, the bachelor/bachelorette… pretty much everyone!," the shelter said.

Smokey enjoys working and playing with the staff and volunteers at the animal shelter. He walks nicely while on a leash and knows his commands. He grew up in a home that also had a female dog, so he enjoys interacting with other dogs and gets along with them.

"Smokey is a true gentleman," the shelter said.

If you are interested in meeting Smokey, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with him 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.

Walk-In Hours at Smithtown Animal Shelter are currently Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sundays are by appointment only.

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.
