1. Smithtown area pet adoption. Meet Shadow, a domestic short hair up for adoption, or if you are looking to snuggle up with a pup, meet Cleo, a female, mixed breed puppy that is too cute for words. Or you may consider fostering. Offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted, helps socialize a shelter pet to enhance her adoption potential.
