Brookhaven Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Faith

BROOKHAVEN, NY - If you're looking for a new companion, consider starting your search at a local animal shelter like the Brookhaven 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 Faith, an 8-month to 1-year-old female mixed breed.

Here's a full description of Faith from the Brookhaven Animal Shelter page:

Meet Faith! She was surrendered by her family, they said they had no time for her. Faith had not been exposed to much other than her family, so as you can imagine she was scared and unsure of all the new people at the shelter. She had not been introduced to dogs or cats so this was a very different situation she was now going to have to navigate. Faith is a youngster at 8 months to a year old. She has come a long way but still gets shy and acts silly at times around loud noises or trucks going down the road. She has come out of his shell and become a very friendly and outgoing dog at the shelter. She is affectionate, always wants to be near you, is a lot of fun, and she is currently working on sit and stay. Her previous family did not take the time to teach this little girl the ways of the world, so during her stay at the shelter we plan on helping her to make her journey as smooth as possible. Faith is hoping that a wonderful family comes her way and falls head over heels making her a member of their clan. Faith has not yet been introduced to the dogs or cats, she previously lived with older children and according to the family she was fabulous with them. She is 52 pounds and may still fill out a little bit, up to date on vaccinations, micro-chipped and heartworm negative.
