This beautiful little girl is Libby. She is a 2yr old Pit who came in with multiple injuries that hadn't been treated after being hit by a car. She was scared, in pain, and unsure of us at first but is now feeling so much better and cannot receive enough love and attention. She is looking for a family to give her a cozy place to sleep, plenty of playtime, and lots of cuddles. Libby is very smart, knows basic commands and even seems to be potty trained! Due to Libby's rough start we think a home with older or no kids will be best. She needs a home without cats and still has to be dog tested. Let's find a family to give Libby all the love she deserves!

The Islip Animal Shelter is located on 210 S Denver Avenue in Bay Shore. The shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about the Islip Animal Shelter, visit their Facebook page here.
