Our Mission
The mission of the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation is to nurture the bond between humans and companion animals through education, advocacy, and adoption. We enrich the lives of the animals in our care through training, affection, and veterinary services, ultimately placing them in a loving forever home.
Our Vision
As New York’s leading shelter for all companion animals, we desire the ability to save more lives by expanding our capacity to care for a greater number of animals in need.
Who We Are
The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, open-admission, no-kill- shelter that relies on the generosity of our donors and volunteers to care for the homeless animals in our community and place them in loving forever homes. The shelter provides a stepping stone for these animals – offering them housing, food, medical treatment, training, and rehabilitation while they’re in our care. For 14 years since the Town eliminated the shelter and SASF was formed, we have been dedicated to caring for homeless animals in our community of 25 hamlets and villages but, we don’t stop there. We rescue dogs from “kill shelters” and dire situations across the country from New York City to Georgia, and even all over the Caribbean. We have proven ourselves to be a leading shelter on Long Island, and pride ourselves on finding excellent homes for hundreds of animals every year. Since 2010, the shelter’s adoption rate has increased significantly due to our many new services, such as a low-cost veterinary clinic that handles all incoming medical evaluations and care, public spay and neuter services, microchipping, and vaccinations. Our training and behavior department follows a prestigious program that socializes, integrates, and enriches the lives of shelter dogs, and it has proven to increase the rate of adoptability of these dogs. Through our unwavering commitment and comprehensive services, we at SASF strive to ensure that every animal in our care finds a loving home, embodying our belief that it’s never too late for a second chance.
