Strong Island Animal Rescue League inc. hasn't added a story.
Strong Island was started as a dream.
Two rescuers who had spent their lives volunteering for other organizations but not really having something of their own. It was scary starting over but we believed in ourselves and each other and created Strong Island Animal Rescue League as a way to rescue the way we wanted to. Local, in our own backyards, helping domestic and wild animals alike who call Long Island home. Soon it will be 5 years since our creation and our vision and mission hasn’t changed. We love working arm in arm with Long Islander’s who either want to help or want to learn.
In the 5 years since our creation we have helped thousands of animals. We have rescued and adopted out cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. We have helped the wildlife that call your backyard their homes and tried to mesh a peaceful existence between them and the people they encounter.
We have gained volunteers who share the same passion as us and our team has grown stronger and more solid.
We have grown as an organization in every way, there’s no denying that.
And with that growth we have had to use every room in our homes as triage. Rooms we deemed “animal free” have been filled with cages and medical supplies to help our sickest patients.
While we’ve accomplished so much of our dreams with this organization, there’s one thing that has seemed out of reach for as long as we’ve existed and that is a facility. A shelter, of sorts, where we can keep our equipment, our animals for adoption, and that can be central hub for volunteers to meet and help in whatever way they can.
It’s tough finding something like this on Long Island. There are regulations and permits that seem to provide roadblocks along the way. And of course the financial part of it all which has prevented us from pulling the trigger. We worry that we’d even be able to survive and keep this rescues head above water with a rent or mortgage payment on top of it all.
But just like this rescue seemed like an unobtainable dream and years later we’ve become somewhat of a household name, we hope for the same on our search for a building that will allow us to save more lives and provide more homes for animals in need.
We don’t know where to start. Our hope is to own something rather than rent so we never find ourselves having to leave when a building switches owners. We need something solid and our own, something that will provide a lasting legacy for our children and of course a starting point for the animals we help. We are looking for a stepping stone that can become our rescues home.
We are searching for investors, building owners, donors, realtors, anyone who can help us achieve what is needed to save more lives. This has been something we have hoped for for so many years and we pray to find what our rescue and the animals need.
