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!

Hello to everyone at the North Hempstead Animal Shelter! We hope you remember us - we are the young couple who left at 5am from Philadelphia last Friday on the off chance that a dog we saw on Petfinder was available! We just wanted to wish everyone at the shelter a massive thank you for helping us adopt "Pudge,” the beautiful white English bulldog. It's been nearly a week now and he is without doubt, the best dog we could have ever adopted! He is completely housetrained (not a single accident yet!); loves car rides; knows basic commands; is crate trained; is great with other dogs and other people; is really obedient; but above all, he is the most loving and sweet dog. He adores playing with Matthew in our big loft - I came back the other day to discover the two of them running around like crazy playing soccer with a big empty soda bottle! He is also a big old snuggle bunny - currently he is sitting right next to me snoring! We both felt your shelter was exceptional and did fantastic work. You all really care about your dogs and do wonders with these pups. I'm putting the word out there to everyone I know how great you are, so hopefully you can expect more people leaving at the crack of dawn from Philadelphia to come and adopt from you! With much love and appreciation, Faye, Matthew and Tyson the wonder dog! More...
