CLICK HERE to View Our New Adoption Procedures During COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Animal Shelter adoption procedures have changed.
Our new procedures are as follows:
- First view our animals on our facebook page under photos, on Petfinder.com or Adopt-A-Pet.com.
- If you are interested in any of our animals, email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will send you an application to complete.
- When you email the application back to us, please list the dog/dogs name and tag number.
- Once the application is complete and we have all the proper paperwork, we will contact you to make an appointment to come see the animal.
- Appointments will be spread out so we don't have two families here at once.
- All introductions and meet-and-greets will be done outside.
We thank everyone for their patience, understanding and support through this difficult time. Everyone stay safe and healthy!

The goal of the Islip Animal Shelter and Adopt-a-Pet Center is to maintain animal control measures needed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of Islip residents, and to bring animals in off the streets and get them healthy, happy and into homes. Our dedicated, compassionate staff of employees and volunteers facilitates this process. We encourage you to adopt and save the life of an adorable, loving animal. If you see a pet you are interested in, please contact us to find out additional information or to set up a meet and greet!
