Pet Foster families Needed

Long Island shelters are over capacity all the time - Foster pet parents wanted.

FOSTER pet parents WANTED - Please help share, foster or adopt if you can - Long Island shelters are over capacity all the time - Repetitive surrendering of amazingly wonderful pets by irresponsible owners is a real problem on Long Island as it is everywhere else. If someone moves they DUMP the pet. If they are pregnant, they dump the pet. If they get a new boyfriend or girlfriend, they dump the pet. These types of persons shouldn’t have pets. There are no laws protecting any pet from being ”owned” by a moron such as this. Therefore we are overflowing with gorgeous, adoptable, deserving pets aching for a loving home that won’t DUMP them off just because something changed in the owners lives.

I’ve listed a few of the shelters - There are more - you can do a search for your own town & see who is located there -

Islip Animal Shelter and Adopt-a-Pet Center - 631-224-5660
Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter - 631-286-4940
Town of Babylon Animal Shelter - 631-643-9270
