Let’s give these adorable adoptables something to be thankful for…head down to your local shelter or rescue and save a life today!
The Nassau County SPCA would like to remind everyone that while it can be tempting to give your pets a taste of your Thanksgiving meal, common festive dishes are full of ingredients that are toxic to dogs and cats or can cause digestive upset. Reminders:
- Dogs can gulp down bones without chewing and choke; bones can splinter and puncture the digestive tract.
- Other ingredients to avoid; garlic, onions, leaks, chives, unbaked dough containing yeast and desserts.
- Be sure the trash is out of reach.
- It can get a bit hectic as guests arrive and a full house can overstimulate and stress your pets. Be mindful of open doors and make sure your pets are wearing collars and updated tags.
- Set rules for kid visitors on how to play and interact with your pet.
- Be sure your pet has a safe and quiet place to retire to.
And please remember, to report animal abuse call 516-THE-SPCA and visit www.nassaucountyspca.org for more information.

**Senior Alert** Suzie is a 12-14-year old female Border Collie who sadly lost her dad recently and is now looking to live out her golden years showered with love. Suzie does have significant arthritis and chronic skin disease but that doesn’t stop her from being an amazing companion. She has a young and playful spirit, even if her body isn’t always up to it. She loves to be pet, being outside exploring and food!! She can live with another calm dog and children 12+.
In honor of November being Adopt-A-Senior Pet month, we’d like to remind everyone that seniors are often already trained and definitely more calm than younger pooches. Suzie is available for adoption or forever foster in a home that can manage her medication. If you can help save Suzie, please call 631-360-7575 today for more information.

It’s so hard to follow Zena’s back story, but it seems as though her owner was evicted and left her behind, tied up to a tree with no food or water.

Zena is friendly with people and is being recommended for a home with kids 15 and up. This 5-year old baby is very petite, weighing in at 52 itty bitty pounds.

**Double Adoption** This dynamic duo is known as Waldo and Kerri. Waldo is a 5-year old fella (FIV+ but remember, that’s only spread from the mom in utero or from a deep bite, so living amongst non-FIV+ cats is completely acceptable). Kerri is approximately 10-years old. This bonded pair was trapped, vetted and tested by Pets4Luv and are both ready to find their forever homes. They are a little on the shy side when they first meet people, but they love to be pet and love each other!!!!
For more information about adopting Waldo and Kerri, please contact Pets4Luv at 516-860-7057 or email info@pets4luv.org today.

Audrey and Black Panther were abandoned ferals rescued from a dangerous location. Tiny 4-month old Audrey is always ready to eat and Black Panther likes to act as the protector of all kittens. Both are understandably skittish but with time, will become wonderful additions to any household.
Maximus is a stunningly handsome 3-month old kitten with his all black paws and sweet demeanor. He is very affectionate, loves to cuddle has the cutest little baby purr. He gets along well with other cats and children. Maximus had been part of a feral colony. He suffered some kind of impact trauma; maybe have been hit by a car. He was hospitalized, treated and is well on the mend. He holds his head at a tilt but is capable of turning it regularly. He runs with a bit of an impaired gait but is capable of using all four limbs independently. He loves to play with toys and is learning how to wrestle with his foster brother.
For more information about adopting Audrey, Black Panther or Maximus, please contact adoptions@paws-li.org or call 631-306-4616. You can also visit their website at http://www.paws-li.org
