Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pets of the Week, the Avenger Pups!
The Avenger Pups are a litter of adorable mushes that are all named after some of the unsung Avengers. Bucky, Falcon, Rhodie, and Barton are all seven month-old Male Staffordshire/Pit Mixes, while Shuri and Wanda are seven month-old Female Staffordshire/Pit Mixes. Every single one of these pups has an incredibly happy, friendly, and affectionate personality. 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 our Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs, and our Dog Walk trail. Family Pet Meet and Greets and at home interactions are also welcome and an integral part of the adoption process.
Foster Opportunity:
If you have no other pets or young children at home, and are looking for a way to serve your community, please consider signing up to be a foster. 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 periods of time.

Thinking About Adoption:
The Smithtown Animal Shelter’s primary concern is finding the perfect home for each animal that finds his/her way to us. The Animal Control Officers and Kennel Attendants at the Smithtown Animal Shelter will go out of their way to ensure both the rescued and rescuer are made for one another.
Residents who have other pets can arrange to bring your four-legged family member to the shelter or set up an at home meet & greet to see how your prospective family member does with other family, pets and the household itself. Please allow yourself an hour minimum to meet with your potential new family member.
Hours at the Smithtown Animal Shelter are currently Monday - Saturday 10AM - 3PM. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings: by appointment only).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are open to the public, however, we continue to practice social distancing in our facility and indoor mask guidelines. To inquire about the Pet of the Week or to meet your potential soulmate, please call the Smithtown Animal Shelter at 631-360-7575.
