Some very special cats and dogs are available for adoption this week, making their way to Long Island from all parts of the country. Your purrrfect pet is waiting for you, so head out and bring home your new best friend today!
If you can’t adopt but wish to help animals in need, the NCSPCA is seeking donations to help with the care of a dog in their possession that is truly lucky to be alive. It’s difficult to imagine how someone could harm such a sweet little dog, but her owner did just that, beating and choking her, leaving her with several broken ribs, her forearm broken in two places and a pulmonary contusion. It’s a miracle this little girl is alive and recovering, but she needs a ton of medical care to get her through her trauma. If you can, please consider making a donation towards her care. click here to donate
Available for adoption at Little Shelter:
Allen is a 5-year-old Mini Pin mix who is full of energy and always looking for an adventure. This funny guy likes to roll around in the grass and run around in circles. He’s a happy boy that will dance on his hind legs to get attention from staff. If you are looking for a super fun best friend, Allen is your guy!
Tigger was originally adopted from Little Shelter and returned after 12 years due to no fault of his own. Tigger is very affectionate and gets along well with other cats. He usually can be found in the Cattery kitchen where he greets all guests coming into the Cattery, hoping that one of them will see how great he is and give him a second chance at a forever home. Come meet Tigger today and help make his “Golden Years” special!

Kat is one kool kitty! This gorgeous 3-year-old cat was surrendered by her owner due to allergy issues. Kat is a super friendly cat who loves to be pet.

Available for adoption at Second Chance Rescue:
Looking for the coolest dog on the block? Well you found her, its Margie! This 5-year-old, 50-pound gal is literally the perfect pet because she knows her commands, is crate/house trained, does well on leash, and isn’t reactive to other dogs. She is blind in her left eye, but that certainly doesn’t stop her, however young kids, small dogs and high traffic homes aren’t ideal as she gets nervous being unable to see. But, a male dog of her equivalent would make an awesome buddy for her. If you’re interested in adopting Margie, contact Second Chance Rescue at nycsecondchancerescue.org
Available for adoption at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter:
Bobi (terrier mix) and Coyote (Cattle dog) are bonded brothers who were surrendered by their owner due to no fault of their own. These brothers were purchased as puppies from a flea market in North Carolina. They were kept outside most of their lives, are very sweet, know some commands and are eager to please.
They like other dogs, and absolutely LOVE each other. They do need some work on leash manners, but other than that, they are just amazing! It’s so sad that they are at the shelter and separated at the shelter, but when they see each other they get so happy! If you are willing to open your home and your heart to two dogs in need, please ask about these babies!
If you are interested in learning more, please call the shelter at 516-785-5220, visit 3320 Beltagh Avenue, Wantagh, or email adoption@tohmail.org today!
Available for adoption at North Shore Animal League America:
Look at this super suave kitty-his photo says it all! Sadly, Nike (Adoption #H203260) recently lost the only home he’s ever known so NSALA is asking for your help to find an even happier one for him to spend forever in.

Paulie (Adoption #MA3607) has already survived quite a bit of trauma in his short life but is recovering comfortably at NSALA’s Adoption Center.

This 3-year-old, one-eyed wonder doesn’t let it stop him – he’s a loving cat ready to share fun and grateful snuggles with his new family. A tranquil household with children over 12 would be best for Paulie. If you are ready to bring this sweety home today, contact DoritS@animalleague.org for more information.

After an arduous year of rescue adventures, Michuki (Adoption #IR952) just wants to be home.

Her ideal household is a consistent one with no children or other pets to distract her from learning to trust her first human family. Michuki has made it this far – can you close the book on her rescue story and bring her into our home? Please reach out to DoritS@animalleague.org if you are interested.
