LI's Adorable Adoptables is a weekly column by Allison Matos, a lifelong Long Island resident who has been advocating animal adoption since 2012. Allison's weekly posts highlight local animals in need of adoption, and cover general animal welfare topics as well.

With so many wonderful dogs and cats to choose from, it’s tough picking a new best friend.  For the month of May, the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter is waiving all adoption fees in an effort to find their dogs and cats new furever homes.

For more information about the animals available for adoption, check out Petango.com or better yet, head down to the shelter and save a life today!

Remember, if you can’t adopt, donate. If you can’t donate, volunteer.  Thanks for reading!
