Rich, velvety, and iconically classic, meet Hersey Kiss, a ten-year-old Rottweiler mix. Arriving at Little Shelter in February, she immediately had a long line of staff and volunteers vying to be her Valentine, winning everyone over with her gentle demeanor and adventurous spirit. Always available for a walk and good conversation, she’s often seen out and about with her favorite people, soaking up all the well-deserved attention. While undergoing her routine medical evaluation, there were, however, some concerns, which unfortunately resulted in a cancer diagnosis. With an estimated prognosis of a year or so, our hope is to see Hersey spend her remaining time in a real home, surrounded by love and family as she determinedly lives life to the fullest. Continually optimistic and happy, she always chooses to walk down the sunny side of the street, grateful for every moment. While you provide her with a cozy bed and a seat at your dinner table, we will continue to supply her medical care, as well as offering support and direction for the days ahead. This is rare opportunity to make a genuine difference for the purest soul you’ll ever meet. If you’re interested in becoming a hospice/foster adopter for Hersey Kiss, please call the adoption office for more information.

More about this 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.
