Who We Are

The Shelter Connection is the volunteer organization at The Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter. We supply trained volunteers as adoption advisors and dog handlers. Our main goal is to increase both the number and quality of adoptions. We also sponsor the "Mend-A-Paw" fund for special medical and surgical needs of the shelter dogs. Secondary missions of our organization include breed choice selection, responsible care information, post adoption problem solving, public awareness of shelter dog availability, and spay/neuter education.

We fight for the lives of the REAL underdogs!

Saphira
(Mischa)
From Mischa's Family: "We adopted "Saphira" from you back in May of 2009....wanted to update you on how well she is doing...Her name is now Mischa...she was a lot of work - lots of training and socialization to help her get over her fears...my fiancé gets all the credit for what a great girl she has become. She is up to about 85lbs and loves to play. We take her up to our place in Vermont and loves to romp in the woods...she is making up for all her lost time. From us: "Thank you for giving one of our pups a loving home where she could flourish." More...
