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.
