Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week, Luke!
Luke is a three and a half to four year-old Male Fox Hound Mix who was initially adopted as a Pandemic Puppy. Sadly, his old owner was not properly prepared to give him a happy and healthy life, as he spent most of his time locked away and isolated without any socialization. Luke is now living at the Animal Shelter and is ready for a new life in a loving family. He is a shy boy who can be very sweet when he starts to open up to you. Due to his lack of socialization, he may have some hesitancy when dealing with other animals. Luke will require a special home that will treat him with kindness and patience and will help him gain the confidence he needs to live a full life.
If you are interested in meeting Luke, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with him 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.
