The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is supported exclusively by donations and grants from the community.
From caring and finding homes for stray and abandoned animals to providing low-cost veterinary care and dog training so that animals can remain in their homes, the shelter has become a vital resource in our community.
The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF)
The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, open-admission, no-kill shelter that relies on the generosity of their donors and volunteers to care to for the homeless animals in its community, and to place them in loving “forever homes.”
The number of animals in need of help is growing every day. The overpopulation of pets on Long Island is a major issue.
Whether caring for strays found wandering the streets, rescuing neglected and abandoned animals, or saving dogs from the horrors of the puppy mill industry, the shelter is a safe haven for all animals and for some, the last resort. Without SASF, these animals would not be able to survive.
The shelter provides a steppingstone for animals to find a loving home. It offers them housing, food, medical treatment, training, and rehabilitation when necessary.
They not only take in community pets but also partner with other rescues and shelters, located on Long Island, New York, and areas in the South including Puerto Rico and Mexico, to save animals that are in dire situations.
