Shelter Animal of the Week

Animal shelters know the difficulty in placing senior pets, even though seniors need just as much love and affection as their younger friends. Take a moment to consider adopting a senior dog, like this week's featured pet, Alley, so that they can live their golden years in a happy, loving home.

Alley is approximately ten years old, and currently lives at the .  This adorable shepherd/collie mix was brought to the shelter with an inoperable tumor on her front right leg, though her veterinarian says that at this point, the tumor would have no affect on her daily life.

For her age and her condition, shelter staff say that Alley is spry and lively, and is one of the shelter volunteers’ favorite dogs to walk. They also admit that she is “spoiled rotten” as her good behavior earns her attention, treats, and a comfy bed, which she loves.  Alley would make a great companion for an adult owner without cats or other dogs.

Alley is spayed, up-to-date with all of her routine shots, house-trained, and ready to be adopted.

If you would like to give Alley the warm, loving home she deserves to live out the rest of her days, call at 631-360-7575, or stop by at 310 East Main Street, Smithtown.
