NORTH FORK, NY — He’s adorable and lovable, but Reed, a stray at the North Fork Animal Welfare League in Peconic, just can’t catch anyone’s eye.
Gabrielle Stroup, director of operations at the League, said her heart breaks for Reed. “He’s a huge Shep mix who loves everyone and everything — but he keeps getting overlooked,” she said.
Reed, she said, was found as a stray, and was brought to another Long Island shelter.

Reed is estimated to be about four-and-a-half years old; he weighs 130 lbs.

“He is very playful, but also enjoys a good cuddle session,” Stroup said.
He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative.
“We use Reed when we have schools or Scouts visit, because he is so gentle with kids. He is very good with other dogs, and likes cats. He is truly a gentle giant,” Stroup said. “He’s one of the most perfect dogs.”
