My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This poor old gentleman was adopted from Little Shelter as a kitten back around 2000 and was found in 2018 in very poor shape by a Good Samaritan who then brought him to a local municipal shelter. Oreo's microchip traced him back to Little Shelter. We retrieved him and gave him the medical care he desperately needed. His teeth were so decayed and infected that he had to have all of them removed. It was amazing that he was able to eat at all prior to his surgery.

Unfortunately, the info on Oreo's microchip was never kept up to date by his family so they could not be located. We have no idea how and when Oreo lost his home but judging by his horrific condition when found, he was probably homeless for a quite a while.

Although Oreo is now safe at Little Shelter, he adores people and is still hoping that a kind person will come and give him a loving forever home where he can celebrate his "Golden Years".

Are you the one for Oreo? Come meet him today!

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.
