My dog has escaped from my backyard and this shelter was a big help in finding him. I initially called and described my dog but he wasn’t over there. About half an hour later the shelter called back and informed me that my dog was at an emergency veterinarian center nearby. The fact that they remembered how I described my dog and matched that description to a dog in an entirely different location than theirs is amazing. Even taking the extra step to call me back and inform me where my dog was tells me alot. The people working at this shelter genuinely care about animals and have a passion for what they do. I am beyond grateful for their help in my situation.

So wonderful!! Lisa was such a huge help! ❤️? But... I am very confused as to why they don't house and adopt out Cats?!?? They NEED homes just as much as dogs do! Cats are on the streets dying/suffering - they need to find forever loving homes!! Please start housing and adopting out CATS! Thank you.

Nothing but praise for the North Hempstead Animal Shelter. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We came looking at one dog, but the shelter rep had us bring our current dog to meet the new one. Turned out they were not very compatible, so she matched us up with a different dog and we couldn't be happier. Spirit (aka Mozel) is a perfect fit with our family. They were very good with reading the dogs behaviors and seeing potential personality issues between the dogs. Highly recommend!!

I was very satisfied when adopting a dog from this shelter. The employees explained the adoption process in a very helpful and friendly way. They show my new dog's attributes and short comings and how I can overcome them. They spent the time with me to make sure I would make the right decision. The adoption paperwork process went smoothly and quickly. Definitely a great place to adopt a pet.

We called to see a specific dog for adoption and the staff guided us through several dogs that they felt may be a good fit including the one we asked to see that they told us might not be a good fit for our 5 year old. The last dog was Legend and he’s now part of our family. The sweetest and smartest dog in the whole shelter, the staff worked with us for 2 hours to find the right pupper for us. The staff were just as concerned with making sure he was right fit for us as we were the right fit for him. He came to us spayed/neutered, chipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. I would absolutely recommend this facility to anyone looking to adopt and NOT a CERTAIN facility up the road.I cannot say enough nice things about TONHAS and their staff.Adopt don’t shop.

If i could give them 0 stars then i would. One of the most unwelcoming and rude shelters i’ve seen. The husky(fat) lady at the front was rude, disrespectful and not helpful at all. People like that is what ruin chances for dogs to adopted. It so sad to see how the shelter and the lady let themselves go, a tragedy. FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO GE ADOPT JUST BE AWARE WHEN GOING.

Called the shelter with my mom. The older lady who picked up had no compassion that our dog had recently passed away and we were looking for a new dog to help ease the pain. She then started to ask my mom if she is a couch potato and we were confusing her as to whether we wanted a small dog or medium dog. Who cares we are looking for a dog !! Exercise some professionalism when dealing with a shelter and people calling asking to see a variety of dogs and trying to get them a home. That lady should switch places with the dogs and be in the cage and give those wonderful dogs a home !!

I'm currently adopting a dog from here and it's been so pleasant! From the original call with Cassie to meeting the dog it's been the best experience ever! Every shelter and rescue should take after this shelter! Cassie has been an amazing contact and deserves the highest praise! Also, this Place is beyond clean and smells wonderful. Can't wait to pick up my baby!

They were very friendly to the disabled individuals that I brought with me to drop off shredded paper. They do excellent work to help animals!

After checking websites about adopting a dog, we made an appointment at the shelter. The woman we worked with was very knowledgeable about the dog we wanted. She was with us for about an hour and we walked out with our newly adopted dog.
