CARING FOR ANIMALS SINCE 1927
631.368.8770

Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter nestled on six wooded acres in Huntington, Long Island. Included on the grounds is Sheltervale Pet Cemetery, which has been the final resting place for companion animals for more than 80 years. Suffolk County’s oldest humane organization, Little Shelter has been dedicated to saving abandoned dogs and cats and placing them into loving homes since 1927. Age, physical condition, and socialization issues are never criteria for rescuing a dog or cat whose life is in jeopardy. Most of our companion animals have been saved from kill shelters on Long Island, in New York City, and in several southern states. As a member of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, Little Shelter is regularly called upon by the city’s municipal shelters to take their dogs and cats in need of rehabilitation. All Little Shelter pets receive the highest quality medical care and are spayed /neutered before adoption. Every potential adopter is interviewed and thoroughly screened to ensure the best quality homes. To extend our mission of finding loving homes for all dogs and cats, Little Shelter has implemented the One Call Saves One Life program. Through this initiative, we ask all animal lovers to make one phone call to encourage one friend or relative to save one animal’s life by adopting a shelter pet and by relaying the adoption message to someone else. With the help of One Call spokesperson Richard Belzer, individuals as well as shelters have spread this lifesaving message. Our FACEBOOK GUIDELINES: We love hearing from our Facebook friends. Please post your photos, questions, comments, news bits and article links so we can all enjoy. However, we do prohibit and reserve the right to remove cross-posting ads for products, services or for non LSAR pets. To keep the page from getting muddled, we remove any posts that ask our readers to vote in contests, sign petitions, 'like my page' or to send money. We also remove posts that have wrong information, severe accusations, or other negative commentary. The page is used to promote LSAR events and our pets and if general conversation is not vital to the page or our supporters we will delete the post. Should you have specific or immediate questions it is best to call our general line as that will be answered more quickly than a Facebook post. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for your support!

Happy Howl-o-ween from Little Shelter! đź‘» We hope you and your family have a great time this Halloween. It is a fun holiday for adults, children and pets alike. Here are a few fun things you can do for your furry loved ones to help them have some fun, and keep them safe!

Give your puppy or kitty a nice (small) treat of cooked pumpkin. Pumpkin is healthy for cats and dogs in small quantities. Just check the label to make sure it is unseasoned and unsweetened.

Have a ghostly photo shoot! Dressing up is a lot of fun and many dogs (and some cats) don’t mind getting into costumes with kids. Perfect opportunity to have a fun family photo.

A Few Tricks To Look Out For:

Candy is BAD for both cats and dogs. Make sure any candy bowls for trick-o-treaters are kept out of reach on a shelf or closed in a cabinet to prevent your cat or dog from getting into it. (Sometimes cats will go after candy due to the crinkly cellophane wrappers.)

Chocolate is NOT on the safe to eat list, neither are the spices in c***r or pumpkin pie. - These are NOT safe snacks for your pets but a few carrot sticks or apple slices are.

An LED collar is a good investment if you’re taking the family dog trick-or-treating with the kids. It helps them to remain visible in the dark. Reminder that dogs should be walked on the sidewalk or “walked on the inside” with you in between them and the street. A driver might notice a person walking on the side of the road but Fido could be below their field of vision.

A Frightening Tale - The day after Halloween, shelters get a lot of calls for missing pets. Always keep cats inside where they are safe and dogs either inside or on a leash. You never know when a strobe light, loud sound effect, or kids running in costumes may spook your furry loved one into running off.

From Everyone At Little Shelter,
We Hope You Have A
