Brookhaven Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Scandal

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 Scandal, a 2 to 4-year-old male mixed breed.

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

Meet Scandal! Here is a sneak peek at our gorgeous guy. He was picked up stray by an Animal Control Officer, he sadly was so nervous and scared, he had been running for days in the woods alone and hungry. He has come a long way but still gets shy at times, although with each passing days he is showing his shy side less and less. Scandal is super affectionate and he does jump and act like a pup as manners are still not his strong suit but he is working on it. These interactions he has here at the shelter with the staff and other animals will take him to the next level and prepare him for the next phase of his journey...a forever home. One day soon we hope Scandal finds a very lucky family who will fall head over heels for our shy guy who is flourishing, he will be the loyal loving best friend that we know he can be. He did well with dogs at the shelter, he is a bit shy with the cats and would do best in home with kids over the age of 16. He is 58 pounds, estimated to be 2 - 4 years young, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, micro-chipped and heart-worm negative.
