1. Adopt from Smithtown area shelters: The lineup includes a lot of puppies, dogs, cats, three Guinea pigs and a parrot! Oh, did I mention a very handsome bulldog is in the dog group? If you're on a search for an adorable new friend, consider starting at a local shelter like The No Kill Project, where Onyx the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes. (Smithtown Patch)
