About us

North Fork Animal Welfare league

In the early 1960s, the Southold Dog Pound could be found at the Town Dump. It was a small, dirty, cinder-block building the size of tool shed with no air conditioning, and a very sad place for an animal to end up.

Along came a very small group of animal lovers who wanted to help the homeless strays in our community and thus formed the NFAWL. With no funds and no shelter, they began their long, slow journey to provide a decent, temporary home for unwanted animals until their forever home was found. Fifty years later we continue to strive toward this mission to adopt out all of our community’s strays and surrenders.

By the 1970s, the NFAWL’s presence had grown. More people became members and embraced the mission, and along with them came donations. The NFAWL and the people who supported it began to put pressure on Southold Town. These efforts provoked the Town to build a six run dog kennel in Peconic, and a dog warden was hired.

In the late 1970s, New York State enacted a new Dog Control Law and for the first time, Humane Societies such as ours were given the right to contract with a town to help enforce dog control laws and run the town’s dog pounds.

In 1980, the NFAWL was the one of the first not-for-profit organizations in the state of New York and the first Humane Organization on Long Island to contract with a town. In 1980 the Certificate of Incorporation of the NFAWL was amended to enable the NFAWL to contract with the Southold Town to manage and operate Southold Animal Shelter. Now, the NFAWL operates animal shelters for two towns — Southold and Riverhead.
