Meet the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s Pet of the Week, the dapper & dashing Blaze!

Blaze is a male pittie mix, approximately ten years young, and one of our longtime residents at the Animal Shelter. He was rescued by Animal Control Officers after being abandoned, left in a cage at Blydenburgh Park.

Blaze is a well-mannered, loving & affectionate gentleman. In his spare time, Blaze enjoys playing in the pools, taking long walks & spending time with his favorite people. He dislikes the cold weather and is not a fan of the rain. Sweet Blaze can be protective of his people and suspicious of meeting new ones. However, this little quirk is easily managed and overcome by giving him treats… cookies are the way to his heart. Overall, this incredible boy is easy going & mellow. Once he trusts you, he’ll love you and remain loyally at your side forever.

Blaze would do best in an adult-only home without other pets. Interested adopters must have experience with his breed.

If you are interested in meeting Blaze please fill out an application and schedule a date/time to properly interact in a domestic setting, which includes our Meet and Greet Room, the dog runs, and our Dog Walk trail.

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.

Where applicable, residents with other pets can arrange to bring four-legged family members 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.

Visitor Hours at the Smithtown Animal Shelter are currently Monday - Saturday 10AM - 3PM. (Sundays and Wednesday evenings: by appointment only). To inquire about the Pet of the Week or to meet your potential soulmate, please call the Smithtown Animal Shelter at 631-360-7575.
