Pet of the Week: After Eye Surgery Shaggy Is Ready to Find a Home

This week, the is looking to find a home for Shaggy, a three-year-old Cocker spaniel.

Donald Bambrick, the animal shelter supervisor, said Shaggy came into the shelter as a stray in August.

"He was severely matted, underfed and had cherry eye, a condition that causes the eyelid in the corner of the eye to become inflamed and exposed, interfering with the dog's vision," said Bambrick.

Now, after some food, a haircut and eye surgery he's shown that he's a sweet, happy boy who loves to play ball, Bambrick said.

"He get along with everyone, cats included and is now ready to go to his new home," Bambrick added.

If Shaggy is not the type of pet you are looking for, there are plenty of other animals that need love and care. All animals are licensed, up to date on their vaccinations, micro-chipped and have been spayed or neutered, according to Bambrick.

Adoption fees range from $40 to $60 for a cat and from $60 to $125 for a dog.

To adopt Shaggy or any of the other animals, call the shelter at 631-728-7387 or visit 102 Old Riverhead Road in Hampton Bays.
