Adoption Events


Fat Cat Tuesday is a week long event held to coincide with the end of Mardi Gras. The purpose of this event is to promote cat adoptions and spay neutering.

Dog Days of Summer is an event that was held for the first time in August of 2003. Shelters across Long Island and as far away as the Bahamas participated. This event helps bring awareness to the numerous homeless pets in shelters everwhere.

Barktoberfest is held in October and has something for everyone. During this event we offer a low cost vaccination clinic, demonstrations by the Long Island Agility Club, L.I. K-9 Search and Rescue and the Suffolk Co. Police Dep't K-9 Unit. Other activities include fly-overs by the Antique Airplane Club of N.Y., face painting and much more.

Home For The Holidays is an adoption campaign taking place before Thanksgiving through New Year's with Animal Shelters in all 50 states and 17 countries participating. This program is designed to raise the public's awareness as to the number of homeless pets available for adoption across the nation. We at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter join with many other humane organizations to bring together adopters and homeless animals.
