About Little Shelter Animal Rescue

Who We Are & What We Do

Little Shelter is a nonprofit animal rescue organization. We take abused and abandoned animals from the streets and from those awaiting death at the municipal pounds. We provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for these animals while they are waiting for loving adoptive homes.

All prospective homes are carefully screened to ensure happy endings. No animal is ever destroyed at Little Shelter unless he or she is incurably ill.

Spaying and neutering is important to our cause. We spay and neuter all of our animals as soon as is medically possible. The minimal adoption donation paid upon adoption includes all the medical procedures that we have done on the animal being adopted, including the spaying and neutering.

Little Shelter is situated on six acres in Huntington, Long Island, 30 minutes east of New York City. Our Sheltervale Pet Cemetery operates on three acres. There are six buildings, two kennels including outdoor runs, one large communal cattery with individual rooms for nursing mothers, an isolation and medical building and a five room house that serves as office and administrative space. At any given time, we are the temporary home to more than 300 animals.

Last year we placed over 600 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies into loving homes. With your help we will save even more this year.

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.
