Kent Animal Shelter Inc.

Giving Hope to Homeless Pets

Our mission is to provide a compassionate, no-kill haven for homeless, abused, and abandoned animals until they find their forever homes. Every day, we are dedicated to bringing hope to animals in need, no matter their circumstances.

Our Journey and Vision

Nearly half a century ago, a small group of humanitarians established Kent Animal Shelter as a private, non-profit humane society to care for animals facing crisis. Today, our facility in Calverton, New York, stands as a testament to that original vision, serving as a sanctuary where thousands of animals leave behind their past and find safety, warmth, and love.

How We Care for Our Animals

Kent Animal Shelter operates as a comprehensive animal haven on scenic property near the Peconic River, featuring a newly renovated kennel and specialized exercise facilities. Our dedicated staff provides every animal with essential medical care, including life-saving surgeries, vaccinations, microchipping, and professional spay/neuter services at our on-site clinic. We believe in high-quality care that prepares our residents for a bright future with their new families.

Your New Best Friend

We take pride in our thoughtful, professional approach to adoption, ensuring each animal is ready to become a cherished member of your household. By choosing to adopt from Kent, you are providing a second chance to a deserving pet and supporting a no-kill philosophy that saves countless lives. We invite you to meet our wonderful residents who are currently waiting for their perfect match.
