We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.

OUR PETS OF THE WEEK INTRODUCE THEMSELVES...

Speedy

What a guy!! 12 year old neutered Speedy rules the roost in the shelter cat room. All others give him plenty of leeway. Speedy would have it no other way. He is quite a character, nothing fazes him. We take him for long walks in our pet stroller and boy, does he love it! You will often find him hangin' in the office, greeting visitors on Saturdays. The Speedster wants to be held all the time and when you find yourself unable to hold him...Well...your lap will do just as well...

Swiss Miss

Swiss Miss is a female Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Mix approximately 4 years of age. She came to us as a stray in March 2008. Swiss Miss is housebroken, spayed and vaccinated. Swiss Miss is sweet and affectionate. She loves her belly rubs most of all. Her large size and active nature make her unsuitable for a home with small children.

****Many thanks to our wonderful, dedicated volunteer Christine Romano. Christine is a professional photographer, with a soft spot for pets. The time and talent she donates to our shelter is invaluable. You can find out more about Christine and her work at www.christineromanophotography.com

Spaying and Neutering

Spaying and neutering is an important part of caring for your pet. There are many medical and behavioral benefits in having your pet spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering also helps reduce the amount of unwanted animals in shelters. Click here for a list of clinics that offer low cost spaying and neutering : SPAY AND NEUTER LINKS

Who We Are

The Smithtown Animal Shelter provides care for lost, stray, and surrendered animals for the residents of Smithtown. Our goal is to reunite lost animals with their owners and find new homes for the unclaimed and relinquished pets. We also enforce the animal control laws of the township and of the New York State Department of Agriculture. The Animal Control Officers respond to residents' complaints regarding stray, vicious, injured, barking, or owned loose dogs and other domestic or wild animals. The Animal Shelter is open Monday thru Friday 8a.m. to 5p.m. and on Saturdays from 8am to 4pm. We are closed on Sundays and holidays.

Adopting a Friend

Did you know Old Yeller was adopted for $3 at a shelter and his real name was Spike? Most people feel that the best pets are those that come from a shelter. Older animals make the perfect lifelong friends too. A friendly, silly looking mutt could be sitting in a shelter waiting for you to rescue him! To help control the animal population, all pets must be spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

Donations

Donations would be greatly appreciated. The animals can always use a warm blanket/bed or a few extra treats and toys. Old crates, cat carriers, bowls, sealed storage containers and collars that are still in good condition could also be put to use. Since we have pets of all ages, puppy, kitten, dog, cat, and senior dog food is needed. Above all, canned dog and cat food is needed for our increasing amount of animals.
