Nassau County SPCA
About Our Rescue Group
Located in Nassau County, New York, the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1973 under the name, 'The League for Animal Protection' -- a nonprofit organization originally designed to protect animals in the county from abuse and neglect, and provide for their basic welfare. We also hold concurrent status as a state law enforcement agency with the special authority to enforce NYS Agriculture & Markets Law, and all other state and local humane laws. We are the only animal protection agency officially designated to operate within the county's borders.
Our Adoption Process
We do not have enough funding for our own adoption facility or shelter, so we must rely upon outside sources for assistance.
Animals up for adoption are all fostered by private individuals, the veterinarians or hospitals treating them, or the shelter to which they were originally taken. 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. |
