It was a six-hour journey for the 100 small breed dogs that traveled not only from Los Angeles to New York, but from death to life."Unfortunately, the fate of these dogs, many of them faced euthanasia in municipal shelters in California," said Cindy Szczudlo, of North Shore Animal League America.Those city shelters were overcrowded with the small breed dogs favored by so many people in California.To free up the much needed space in those shelters and to spare the dogs lives, the "Wings of Rescue" plane picked up the pups and brought them to Long Island. Shelter workers then transferred the jet-lagged dogs onto the animal league's two mobile adoption units."

And then we take them back to North Shore where they will be fed, watered, and rested for the evening. And then tomorrow we start up with the grooming, the vetting," said Ted Moriates, of North Shore Animal League America.The mission now of course is to find loving homes for these new arrivals, which include Chihuahua's, terriers, and other small breeds."This week we're excited that we are starting our season of thanks with this first rescue here tonight and bringing these 100 dogs in," Szczudlo said.There are more animals on the way.

FERAL CAT SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM:Feral cats (non-pet felines, living in outdoor environment) have reached epidemic numbers on Long Island. Feral cats that are not spayed or neutered may wander from place to place throughout our region, resulting in pockets of feral cat overpopulation. In an effort to mitigate the overpopulation of feral cats in our area, Hempstead Town is offering free spaying or neutering of feral cats in our area. Grants from PetSmart Charities and the PETCO Foundation further support the town's Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) program for feral cats. Spay/neuter surgeries are conducted at the Animal Shelter as well as at one local animal hospital. Town residents may bring in up to five (5) feral cats for free spay/neuter at each visit. Surgeries are scheduled at the Animal Shelter on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, by appointment only.

To complement its efforts to mitigate feral cat overpopulation, the town has contracted with Hilton Animal Hospital in Lynbrook (surgeries scheduled Monday through Thursday) to offer a number of spay/neuter surgeries each week. For TNR appointments scheduled at the Animal Shelter in Wantagh, residents are asked to drop off cats as follows: Mondays- For next day surgeries- between 2 PM and 5 PM Tuesdays- For same day surgeries- between 7:30 AM and 9 AM For next day surgeries- Between 2 PM and 6 PM No cats will be taken in between the hours of 9 AM and 2 PM. Wednesdays- For same day surgeries- Between 7:30 AM and 9 AM Thursdays- Cats may only be dropped off for surgeries between 7:30 AM and 9 AM. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - NO drop offs are permitted until Monday afternoon for Tuesday surgeries. For TNR appointments scheduled at the Hilton Animal Hospital, check in is between 9 AM and 10 AM on the day of surgery. Cats must be kept outside during check in.

For the safety of all participants, each feral cat must be brought in its own trap. No other carriers are accepted. Trap rentals are available at the shelter with a $80.00 CASH deposit. Trap deposits will be refunded when traps are returned in the same condition as when they were rented. Feral cats may be tested for FELV/FIV (Feline AIDS and Leukemia) for an additional $25.00 CASH payment required at the time of intake. Feral cats will receive Rabies and Distemper vaccines, flea control and ear tipping. Spayed/Neutered cats may be picked up in the afternoon, the same day as the surgery. Spayed/neutered feral cats should be transported back to the release site after the appropriate recovery time. Space is limited and appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Proof of residency must be provided.
