The Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter released its first-ever 2025 Animal Shelter Calendar, showcasing cats and dogs currently in need of loving homes. This limited-edition calendar is not just an addition to your desk or home, but also a heartfelt reminder of the importance of pet adoption.
Each month highlights a shelter animal hoping to find a forever family. Many of the featured pets have been overlooked for adoption for years, making their spotlight in the calendar an opportunity to shine a light on their unique personalities and lovable qualities.
The production of the calendar was made possible through Rescue Rocks, with a suggested donation of $30 per calendar. All of the proceeds (100%) will directly benefit the shelter, funding critical emergency and veterinary care in the coming year.
“This calendar is the perfect New Year’s gift for animal lovers! Not only does it help raise funds for vital care, but it’s also a beautiful way to spread awareness,” Town Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo, who is also the animal shelter’s liaison. “A coworker, friend, or family member might see a photo of their perfect four-legged match and give a deserving pet the home they’ve been waiting for. Some of these animals have spent years dreaming of their forever family. This calendar, hopes to turn those dreams into reality.”
Featured animals include:
-
Blaze (January): The shelter’s longest resident (over five years) is a loyal, affectionate chocolate-brown pup with a New Year’s wish to find his forever family.
-
Betty-Boop (April): A low-key, 12-year-old “couch hippo” who has spent five years at the shelter. This sweet pibble mix is the ultimate Netflix snuggle buddy.
-
Mia (December): A goofy, fun-loving Mastiff/Labrador mix longing for a Christmas miracle after four years at the shelter.
Additional months feature a mix of playful kittens, resilient seniors, and affectionate dogs, all waiting to meet their match.
Calendars can be picked up during regular visiting hours at the Smithtown Animal Shelter, located at 410 East Main Street in Smithtown, or reserved by phone at (631) 360-7575 or email at animalshelter@smithtownny.gov.
