The mission of the League is to provide humane care and treatment for all the animals needing protection in our community, The Town of Southold. We are the only East End shelter with the commitment and courage to take on the difficult task of providing animal care and control for ALL the homeless and needy animals within our community while maintaining a limited euthanasia policy. Never is a Healthy, adoptable animal killed for the sole crime of being homeless. Spay/Neuter and Humane education are two of the most important tools utilized in the fulfillment of our mission. THERE IS NO SHELTER LIKE A HUMANE COMMUNITY.
Other basic functions of Southold Animal Shelter include locating owners of lost animals and homes for homeless animals. The Southold Animal Shelter keeps current records on all animals in our community reported as lost or found or for adoption.
In connection with placing animals for adoption, each animal leaving the Shelter is vaccinated, tested for Heartworm and for FIV/FELV, wormed and spayed or neutered by NFAWL prior to adoption,
On a weekly basis, shelter staff and animals are taken to various nursing homes and care facilities to provide companionship to elderly residents as a form of pet therapy.
