Four Legged Friends is a weekly column by Bariann Browne, lifelong Long Island resident and communications coordinator for North Shore Animal League America. Bariann’s weekly posts highlight the League’s amazing animals, just a small example of the thousands of loving, loyal pets waiting for forever homes at your local animal shelter.
Leila is a 3-year old Jack Russell from North Carolina. Beautiful and sweet, she is shy at first around new people but given some time and patience displays her affectionate and docile personality. Leila had a rough beginning in her short life and will do best in a home with children over 12 where she is the only four-legged family member. Leila’s adoption number is NCR2895.
If you’re looking for someone to just hang out with, Ruby will be your perfect match. She is a 3-year old fluffy shepherd mix who is great on the leash, gives kisses, and smiles all day! Ruby is super affectionate once she warms up to new people and environments. Because of her heart murmur, she needs lots of love and affection but she doesn't let that stop her from being a great companion. Ruby would be great in a home with no cats and children over 16 so they can have lazy days with her! Ruby’s adoption number is T82642.
Take one look into Cuervo’s eyes and you’ll fall in love! This 10-year old playful mush is very energetic and eager to play a quick round of fetch. Cuervo is loyal, affectionate, and would do well in a home with kids 16 and older. He is housebroken and is great on the leash, he loves walks! Although Cuervo loves to keep the staff company in their offices, he is looking for a home to finally call his own. Cuervo’s adoption number is T65488.
Miles is a 7 ½ -year old cat with a unique smile. He is a hoarder survivor that will be the perfect addition to any home. Miles is litter box trained. He gets along well with dogs, cats, and children of all ages! Miles has a small manageable heart condition but that doesn’t stop him from having a big kitty heart! He enjoys to be pet and will meow until he gets a pat on the butt. Miles loves being the center of attention almost as much as he loves his fluffy beds. Miles adoption number is DA15.
