Donating Items to Little Shelter
Little Shelter relies heavily ( and really
appreciates ) your donations. From the puppy snuggling in that warm
throw to the cat in a favorite pet bed, your donations help animals
feel a little more comfortable and at home here during their stay.
While our first goal is to get these animals placed in loving new
homes as quickly as possible, the reality is that this process can
sometimes take a significant amount of time. Having these little
pet "luxuries" will help these animals during this transition
period:
-
Cat & dog beds
-
Cat trees and scratching posts
-
Unopened cat & dog toys
-
Unopened cat & dog food ( dry, wet, we'll take
it all! )
-
New rawhides, pigs ears, bones · you get the
idea
-
Collars & leashes
-
Large metal pet feeding bowls
-
Small washable blankets (since we don't have
commercial washing machines here), throws, towels - even small
washable throw rugs can come in very handy
-
Small single-seat sofas, futons or recliners -
wouldn't it be special to come to the Little Shelter and see a
relaxed terrier mix enjoying your old recliner!
-
Grooming equipment
-
"Kiddie" pools
-
Small refrigerators
-
Electric heaters
-
Washers & dryers
-
Picnic tables, chairs & umbrellas
Donations can be dropped off at the shelter
anytime from 1pm-7pm Monday through Friday, or 12pm-5pm Saturday and
Sunday. Please call 631-368-8770, extension 206, if you have any
questions about making a donation of this kind to the Little
Shelter.
Spring Fling Cleanup Right Here at Little
Shelter
Don't have a yard · have a landscaper
who takes care of your yard · or perhaps are you looking for new
things to organize? Not to worry, you can take advantage of that
desire to work outside or help clean up by coming here to help the
Little Shelter catch up. We are looking for extra volunteers to
make the shelter look its Spring-time best. From painting to
yard-work and planting, we have lots of jobs to do. Please give us
a call to let us know that you would like to get involved and weâll
keep you informed of our planning activities and any particular
dates dedicated to shelter clean up. Thanks for sharing these
valuable skills with us this Spring!
Calling On All Handy People
Little Shelter cares for close to 700 dogs and
cats here on Long Island and despite all our efforts to keep up on
things, we have no shortage of items that break down or need
servicing. Having the benefits of a handy person or persons to help
with basic repairs, carpentry, electrical needs, or even for large
pet food pick ups and the like is critical to keep us focused on
what we do best - helping homeless companion animals find new
loving homes. Please share what you do best with us, so
together we can reach our adoption goals! |
