Smithtown Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Uno

SMITHTOWN, NY — Uno "The Number One Pup," a 1-and-a-half-year-old Australian cattle dog/shepherd mix, was named the Smithtown Animal Shelter's featured pet of the week.

"This sweet and loving guy can play all day long and will never get bored," the shelter said in a news release. "Uno is the perfect dog for an active family who enjoys spending quality time outdoors and will exercise Uno as a fun part of the daily routine. He gets along well with children, but would prefer to be the only pet in the house."

If you are interested in meeting Uno, 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.

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.

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 extended time.
