Islip Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Sapphire

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 Sapphire, a female 7 to 9-year-old pug/poodle/pomeranian mix.

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

Say Hi to Sapphire. She is 7-9 years old and 12 pounds. She is a Pug/Poodle/Pomeranian mix from a house with 33 other dogs. Due to this she has had no training in the housebreaking and leash department. She is sweet but shy and ready to learn. Since she came from a house with many other dogs she would do best in a house with other dogs. Due to her being shy she would do best in a house with no kids. She has tested well with cats. Due to her poor nutrition and her being small breed with a pushed in nose plus older she will need a dental shortly after adoption. Due to the breed mixture Sapphire will need continued grooming.

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.
