ABOUT US

"Mission focus has driven some shelters to combine efforts and resources. From groups who have a productive history to those who were once at odds, animal welfare organizations are learning that they are often stronger when they unite." animalsheltering.org 

First and foremost, as a 501(c)3 organization, FAN focuses on finding homes for our homeless animals and assisting with medical care for them as well.   We believe that a collaborative voice representing animal welfare in our community can be a win/win for Nassau County residents, rescue organizations and, most importantly, the animals.

To increase chances for adoption, FAN covers heartworm treatment costs for heartworm positive animals going to new homes.  Also, we recruit volunteers who put their talents to work for the well-being of the animals while being kenneled which improves adoptability.  
To encourage animals to stay in their homes, FAN extends a Safety Net to those who may love their animal but find they can no longer care for it.  The Safety Net addresses several options for keeping animals in their homes instead of surrendering to a shelter.

After all, it is all about the animals.
