Forgotten Friends of Long Island is an animal rescue group that is dedicated to the rescue of companion animals. Many of these rescue animals have been in municipal shelters for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, they have been overlooked by both the general public and by rescues. Many of the dogs in our care were homeless and were sadly waiting to be euthanized. Forgotten Friends intervenes, whenever possible, for these animals in dire need of immediate attention. And we look to place them in caring, loving homes.
Forgotten Friends of Long Island, located in Plainview, New York, has been serving the community for years. People from both Nassau County and Suffolk County turn to us for adoptions of rescue dogs. For more information about the rescue animals we have up for adoption, please reach out to us today. We will gladly answer any questions you may have regarding the cats and dogs we may have in our shelter, as well as provide you with all the required information in order for you to adopt one of these lovable animals. Dogs can be seen by appointment only, so you must call ahead to schedule a time.
You can also find other ways to help our rescue animals. This can be done by either a donation or a sponsorship. Any little bit helps the animals in our care.
ALL RESCUE ANIMALS ARE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!
Please message us on Facebook or email us at ffoli.info@gmail.com to meet one of our animals.
Thank You!
Animal shelters and rescue organizations can become overwhelmed when homeless animals have nowhere else to go. Rescue organizations help provide another option for animals that may otherwise remain in shelters or face uncertain outcomes.
Forgotten Friends of Long Island focuses on companion animals in need and works to give them an opportunity to find loving homes. Through adoption, volunteering, donations, and community support, local residents can play an important role in helping animals throughout Long Island.
When you adopt a rescue animal, you aren’t simply bringing home a pet. You are giving an animal the opportunity to become part of a family.
Adopting a rescue animal is important for the following reasons:
If you already have a dog or a cat and are unsure of how the introduction of another animal will go, then please check out these common steps on how to best go about it.
Adoption is a long-term commitment. Before bringing a rescue animal home, consider whether your household is prepared for the time, responsibility, and expenses associated with caring for a pet.

Thinking through these questions before adoption can help create a better experience for both the family and the rescue animal.
Forgotten Friends of Long Island is a 501c3 non-profit volunteer organization and has no paid staff. Every dollar we raise is used to provide quality medical attention and rehabilitation for the rescue animals that are in our care. And we are always looking for people from across Long Island to adopt with us.
You can volunteer to help us help our rescue animals. There are volunteer opportunities at both our dog and cat centers, or come down and help out at our fundraising events. Sign up and make a difference in your community today!
At Forgotten Friends of Long Island, we get pleas every day about rescue animals about to die in overcrowded shelters. People have to think about getting a pet and make sure they are ready and able before adopting a pet.
Rescue animals are dying in shelters across Long Island for various reasons, but the number one reason is not spaying and neutering. It is vital for them to get spayed and neutered, otherwise they are at risk in kill shelters.
This is why it is our mission to get people on Long Island to choose adoption of a pet over shopping for one. We will help make sure you find a forever home for a pet that desperately needs one. When you adopt a rescue animal, you save a life.
