The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for our homeless pets. We strive to create lasting bonds that turn our shelter animals into cherished family members.
As an open-admission shelter, we provide a safe harbor for animals in need, offering them a fresh start through medical care and behavioral support. Our facility includes a dedicated team that ensures every pet is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before finding their new home.
We believe in the power of community, which is why we utilize both our shelter facility and a wonderful foster home network to care for our animals. Foster parents serve as a vital bridge, offering extra socialization and love to kittens, bottle-fed babies, and adult pets who need a gentle transition to family life.
We are committed to making the right match for every family and every animal. By requiring thoughtful consultations and meet-and-greets for other household dogs, we ensure that every adoption is set up for long-term success and happiness. Our adoption staff is here to guide you through this rewarding process, helping you find the companion who is the perfect fit for your home.
