About North Fork Animal Welfare League - Riverhead
North Fork Animal Welfare League is a 501c3 non for profit no-kill animal shelter with two locations on the east end of Long Island in both Southold and Riverhead Townships. Founded in 1963. The League welcomes animals of all kinds, but at our core, is people like you, who care about their own animals and the animals in our community.
The new Riverhead Town Shelter is a model shelter with an energy-efficient design that is bright, airy, and accommodating for the animals in our care and the surrounding community. The new shelter is clean, spacious, and state-of-the-art, with indoor and outdoor dogs and cats. Areas for animal intake, family bonding, humane education, storage, and administration make the space more functional.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
