Adopt Today: Hempstead Town Waiving All Pet Adoption Fees For The Summer

Starting Saturday and lasting throughout the entire summer, the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter will be waiving all pet adoption fees to help find forever homes for the shelter’s dogs and cats.

Supervisor Anthony J. Santino is inviting all residents to take advantage of the “Summer of Love” program, with all pet adoption fees waived from Saturday, June 10 through Sunday, Sept. 3. What’s more, newly adopted pets will be spayed/neutered and receive age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipping, free of charge.

“The Town of Hempstead is committed to finding permanent homes for all of our shelter’s great dogs and cats,” stated Santino. “We encourage residents to take advantage of free adoptions during the ‘Summer of Love,’ at the town Animal Shelter.”

The town has also partnered with three local businesses that have been dedicated supporters of pet adoptions at the town’s animal shelter. Dog Grooming by Rachel in Bellmore will provide a coupon for one free grooming for dogs. Island Trees Veterinary Hospital in Hicksville will give coupons for a free exam and $25 toward veterinary services. Fido Fitness Club in Woodmere will provide a coupon for one free training class, as well as one half-day of “doggie daycare.”

Town Animal Shelter staffers and volunteers are available to assist prospective pet adopters. Neighbors can also visit toh.li/animal-shelter to browse photos and information about cats and dogs available for adoption, or contact the shelter at (516) 785-5220.

The Hempstead Town Animal Shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh.
