The best way to save an animal is always by adoption, but in times of crisis such as the recent wildfire in Hawaii’s Lahaina, rescue organizations need funding to help animals who have been displaced and/or injured. The Nassau County SPCA recommends donating directly to the Maui Humane Society to help with critical care for animals in need, and/or purchasing items on their Amazon Wishlist to help with the influx of animals due to this recent devastation.

**Special Request** Tater is a five-year-old Domestic Shorthair who was found as part of the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program in 2018. Tater was initially adopted as a kitten, but he was sadly returned to the Animal Shelter through no fault of his own. This poor boy unfortunately was born blind, which means he is sometimes fearful of new environments, but a calm and quiet home will make him feel at ease. He is affectionate, gentle, and sweet, and would be a wonderful companion for any cat lover. Tater has been through a lot in his life, and it’s time for him to find his purrfect home.
To adopt this sweetheart, please call the Smithtown Animal Shelter at 631-360-7575.

Introducing Aruba, affectionately known as Kiko! Aruba’s foster parents can’t say enough good things about him—he’s truly a fantastic blend of energetic and laid-back. This wonderful one-year-old boy delights in his bouncy ball and chicken stuffed toys, and he’s made remarkable progress in conquering his fears of loud noises (fireworks don’t faze him). His separation anxiety has improved, and he would thrive best in a home with someone who works from home, offering him the companionship he craves.. Aruba’s love for dogs is boundless—he enjoys the company of dogs of all sizes, playing gently and exuberantly with them. While he’s made great strides, he’s still in need of assistance in managing his excitement around cats. Aruba’s endearing quirks include his penchant for sleeping in unconventional spots, like his fosters’ closet instead of his dog bed. He’s your loyal shadow, following you from room to room just to be nearby. His love for human friends is evident, though he’s working on refining his manners and controlling his jumping when greeting people.
Thor is a true bundle of love and joy, guaranteed to fill any home with warmth and laughter. His affectionate nature shines through as he adores couch and bed cuddles. Thor’s favorite sleeping position, on his back with limbs sprawled, speaks to his comfort and relaxation. His preferred toys are the big and fluffy kind, or something he can sit and chew on, showcasing his playfulness. Thor’s current foster sister is helping him learn about personal space and respect. While he’s working on his separation anxiety, his progress is commendable—each day brings improvement. He’s averse to closed doors, a sentiment many of us share! House trained and well-behaved, he has access to a yard and doesn’t have in-house accidents. Thor is neutered and doesn’t require crating, showing excellent behavior even when left alone. This handsome pup revels in long walks, embracing the occasional shade break when he needs to recharge. He’s particularly fond of his anti-pull harness during walks and garners compliments for his stunning appearance. Thor’s enthusiasm for life is evident as he stares at squirrels and birds, showing his desire to chase them. He’s a friendly greeter, extending hellos to both people and new dogs alike. Thor takes car rides and urban environments in stride, showcasing his adaptable nature. This wonderful boy deserves a home with active owners who can match his energy and zest for life.

Auggie is a true lap-loving companion, more than willing to settle in for some cozy petting time. And yes, he’s extra special with two extra toes on each paw, making him truly unique!
