This week's dogs are up for adoption at ARF (Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons). The shelter can be reached at (631) 537-0400.

Steve - This handsome 4-month-old hound mix was rescued from a high-risk shelter in South Carolina. He is super sweet and super affectionate and gets along well with other dogs and with cats. He will be great with kids of all ages, but like all puppies, will need to learn basic obedience and housebreaking.

Kirby - Kirby is a handsome 11-year-old Pekingese who would love to live out his golden years in a quiet home with no small children. He walks well on a leash and is housebroken.

Deidre - Deirdre came to ARF from a puppy mill where she spent all of her six years living in a cage being used to breed puppies sold in pet stores. She is a purebred Australian Shepherd who is timid with new people and will do best in a home with another dog. She gets along well with all dogs and would be fine with cats. Because of her shyness, a home with no young children is preferred.
