Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

**ATTENTION**
I would like to write a review about this nonprofit organization run by Pamela Green. Money is not being spent properly towards the organization, nothing is being fixed or taken care of, or put towards excellent workers such as Ricky, who has worked there for over 10 years and is loved by everyone he comes in contact with. She has just fired Ricky, a very hard worker that has gone above and beyond to help this organization and make it run properly. He is there on his days off, slept & stayed at the location alone for three days during hurricane Sandy, he has even driven in on snow days in 3+ feet of snow, just to make sure that all animals are taken care of. She also would not let him rent the small house located in the back as the caretakers quarters, but yet wanted him to travel in which he did, just to take care of them.. but then proceeded to rent it to someone else. He has never been compensated for anything that he has done, being that he does for the animals, not for a paycheck.. Although it would’ve been nice to be recognized I’m sure. When a member of the congressional office wanted to give Ricky recognition with a ceremony & plaque, she denied. Her reasoning for not allowing him to come to the location to give that to him, was “there’s alot of employees that are good here! Not just Ricky.” Ricky was told that she has also called other locations letting them know not to hire him, thinking he was going to leave at one point because he was upset about things were going on at the location and how he was being treated. Ricky was informed of this and continued to keep doing his job, because of the animals and the love he has for them .. That’s defamation of character!! And now she has fired him in order to keep another employee, that has been there less years than him, and put her in his position. She stated her reason to letting him go was due to budget cuts. He is the manager, and it should go in seniority order. The person she hired for his position is not a well liked woman by the name of Judy. There has been many complaints on her behalf of how she handles things in the shelter. She is rude and judgmental when speaking to potential customers. Pamela firing Ricky is wrong and it should be investigated! I think this whole organization of people in this location is prejudiced going based off of all things Ricky has experienced within his years of working here. Why would you get rid of someone that is loyal to the organization, goes above and beyond, and has an outstanding rapport with everyone he comes in contact with? He is an asset to this company! This needs to be addressed ASAP.

Yes , I am concerned about some horses on 1943 Sound Rd. In Calverton that I saw photos of on Facebook who are it appears in pure Neglect! I think someone there in your town should go check them out as I find this disgusting. I live in another state so it seems like someone there would check on these horses who are sick. I intend to call the Governor's office about this neglect. The horses are very thin and need medical attention now it appears. Someone there needs to help these animals!
