Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week, Betty Boop!
Betty Boop is a ten-to-twelve year-old Female Pit Mix who has been a resident of the Animal Shelter for almost three years. She is a low-key and very loving girl who is a big fan of food and getting snuggles! Betty loves to dip her feet in the kiddie pools and play with dog toys. If you give her a treat and a belly rub, she’ll be your friend for life. She suffers from significant arthritis of her hips and knees and will need a home that can properly provide her with medications. Betty Boop should be the only pet in an adult-only home.
If you are interested in meeting Betty Boop, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with her in a domestic setting, which includes our Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs, and our Dog Walk trail.
Additional 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).
While we are open to the public, we ask that you call ahead to schedule an appointment.
