Pets Up for Adoption
Barney (photo above)
This lovable pup is eager to find his forever home. Originally from South Carolina, he’s adjusting to life in East Hampton with the help of his sister and best friend, Thelma Lou. The pair shares a special bond, enjoying walks and playtime, though like true siblings, they occasionally bicker. While they’d love to stay together, it’s not a requirement. At 4 years and 6 months old, this Chihuahua/Pug mix weighs 20.18 pounds and has a big heart, though he’s selective with other dogs and not cat-friendly. He’s ready to be your loyal companion and embark on life’s adventures by your side.

Smokey
Rescued from a difficult situation, this gentle soul is ready for a fresh start. Smokey, a 7-year-old Domestic Shorthair weighing 9.2 pounds, has a sweet and loving nature despite his past. After enduring solitary confinement in a hoarding house, he’s still a bit timid and prefers his cozy condo when other cats are nearby. Smokey thrives on human attention and would do best as the only pet in a calm, loving home. Currently residing in the cattery’s isolation area, this deserving feline is patiently waiting for the chance to feel safe and cherished in his forever family.
