My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Little Mama is a 5 yr old pittie mix. She came to us in December 2019 after being found with 11 other dogs living in cages in a basement and being used for breeding. She came in about 30 pounds underweight and terrified to even walk a few steps. It took her weeks to trust one person enough to walk out of her kennel while on a leash. She is now doing so much better and actually enjoys and seeks attention from the staff. Little Mama likes to play with stuffed toys and go in the pool on hot days. At this time she needs to be the only princess in your home but with some time and proper training we believe she may eventually want to make friends with dogs her size. She is still shy with new people and takes a little time to warm up to them but once warmed up she loves to give kisses, sit in laps, and receive a good butt scratch. Weighs 75 lbs. If interested in adopting her please email us at animalshelter@islipny.gov
