Islip Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Luke

BAY SHORE, NY - If you're looking for a new companion, consider starting your search at a local animal shelter like the Islip Animal Shelter. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.

One of their available pets is Luke, a male, middle-aged, lab mix.

Here's a full description of Luke from the Islip Animal Shelter Facebook page:

Meet Luke! He is a middle aged Lab x waiting for his forever family to come and take him home. Luke came to us as a stray at the end of October. He had a large & painful open wound on his face that is now all healed. He was scared and a little unsure of us at first but is feeling better and is much happier now that he knows he is safe. Luke is very sweet but is a little hand shy and may have had a bit of a rough past so we believe he would do best in a home with older or no kids. He needs a loving owner willing to give him time to get comfortable in his new home. Luke enjoys affection, walks nicely on the leash, and knows some basic commands. He would love a yard to play in & needs to be the only dog in the home.

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.
