Nassau County Spca pet safe program keeps all of Nassau County's pets sheltered and safe during an emergency or natural disaster. Whether it be a house fire or a hurricane, the pet safe program is equipped to set up shelter for hundreds of pets. Aside from keeping displaced pets safe, the program prevents pet owners from having to give up their pets while recovering from a disaster. The program's co-sheltering model allows residents and their pets to be housed in the same facility during a disaster. Under the co-sheltering program, owners will be housed in a separate portion of the facility but will be provided easy and controlled access to their pets. Co-sheltering permits owners to feed, exercise and interact with their pets.

Nassau County Spca pet protection program offers free pet protection to victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence victims that enter the safe center of long island no longer have to fear what happens to their pet. The Nassau County Spca takes in family pets that would otherwise be displaced, surrendered to shelters or put down. The organization incurs all cost associated with boarding, vet care, grooming and food. Pets are surrounded by loving and caring volunteers that foster enrichment, rehabilitation and socializing programs in a non-shelter like environment. All family pets are returned to families upon securing and confirming a safe non-threatening environment.
