There is never a shortage of sweet animals available for adoption on Long Island, but if you can’t adopt but want to help, perhaps you can donate to help make a difference.
In honor of Animal Cruelty Awareness Month, The Nassau County SPCA has kicked-off their $5 challenge to help with their efforts of protecting animals from abuse and neglect, and to provide basic welfare for animals in need. Please donate as you can. For more information, check out their website.

Winnie Cooper (reference #170724) is a gorgeous dog that was brought to the shelter as a stray just two days before Christmas 2017. Besides being cold and a bit fearful, it was also discovered that Winnie was pregnant and due very soon. She became a mom on January 6 and took the best care of her little pups, who have since been adopted.
It is now time for Winnie to find her peace and happiness as she continues the next chapter of her young life. Winnie is less than 2 years old and is now spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. She is a rock star here at the shelter for the way she handled being a very pregnant mom and alone in the streets.
Winnie Cooper weighs 42 pounds and is ready to be adopted. If you are a special home looking for a very special gal, Winnie is for you!
Nana (reference #180074) came to the shelter in late February. Her owner was moving and could not take her. She is a 7-year-old gray, domestic short hair who is quite vocal and very loving. Nana will make a great companion for someone that loves attention from their cat. Nana is spayed, up to date on all of her vaccines, microchipped and oh so ready to be in a home again where she can spoil her new owner with purrs and kisses.
