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.
