Adopt a Pet
Thank you for considering adopting a pet from Nassau Humane Society! Here, you will find all of our current available cats, dogs, and small animals. Our animal profiles are updated in real-time, so all of the animals shown are still available at this time. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, keep checking back as we are rescuing animals on a regular basis or, feel free to visit our shelter to do a walk-through with one of our experienced kennel technicians who can help you find the right fit for you and your family!
Please consider when looking for a new addition to your family, that adopting a pet is a life-long commitment and we are looking for adopters that understand every animal has their very own personality. When a cat or dog is brought into a new environment, they will go through a decompression and adjustment period, so we are asking for your patience when introducing a new pet into your loving home!

Adoptable Small Animals
Applications are available at the shelter and animals are adopted on a first come, first served basis.
You will need a valid photo ID.
You must be at least 18 years of age or older.
Adoption fees and other related fees can be made by either cash, credit card, or debit card. Checks will only be accepted for donations.
If you plan to adopt a dog, you must provide your own leash and collar. These items can be purchased at the shelter from our boutique.
Cats are required to leave in a cat carrier. We have temporary carriers available for purchase at the shelter if you do not have your own.
If you are interested in adopting a dog and have your own dog already, a meet and greet at the shelter may be required to proceed with the adoption process.
If you rent your home, please look into your landlords’ pet requirements prior to adoption.
While most of our available animals are at our facility, some that you see on the website may be in foster care or at an offsite event.
We strongly recommend that all current members in your household meet the animal you are interested in prior to adoption to ensure it is a good fit for everyone.
All of our cats, dogs, and small animals will be spayed/neutered. In addition, all cats and dogs will be microchipped, up-to-date on all eligible vaccinations, tests, and prevention prior to adoption.
If you fall in love with an animal that is not yet up-to-date on any of the above medical necessities, you will be eligible to put down a hold fee, pending application approval, until they are ready to be taken home.
