My story

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

The approximate weight of a sack of potatoes meets Russet, an eleven-year-old Havanese mix. While this Passage to Freedom traveler is gaining confidence every day, he’s still a bit reserved about meeting new friends and is hoping to find a quiet, experienced home where he can settle in and feel secure. The Havanese are known to be intelligent and adaptable, so before you know it, Russet will be participating in all your fun family activities.
If you think this “spud” could be for you, stop by to meet Russet today!
*Fun fact: Charles Dickens owned a Havanese named Tim, who was beloved by his seven children*

**A minimum of two visits required**
*Russet is fully grown and not housebroken*

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.
