Pet Celebration Day

A few sprinkles couldn’t stop us from having an incredible Pet Celebration Day on Saturday, May 2! Thank you to the hundreds of friends, neighbors, adopters, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and staff who made it such a success. This is what Community Giving looks like: a community united by love, loyalty, and the pets that make our houses a home.

From heartwarming adoptions to tail wags all around, the day was full of fun. Families took on the scavenger hunt, kids got creative with crafts from The Shine Studio and had their faces painted, and pups showed off on the agility course or got expert tips from our trainers.

We kept pets happy and healthy with free nail clipping by Blue’s Paws Grooming, plus freemicrochipping and low-cost vaccines. Guests enjoyed sweet treats from Dylan’s Candy Bar, snacks from Mercedes-Benz of Southampton, coffee from Hampton Coffee Company, and lemonade served from EAST + PALM’s vintage tap truck, while Lizzy’s Little Bake Shop and Salty Paws had snacks for both humans and pups.

Congratulations to James Lane Post’s Cutest Pet Contest winners!

We’re so grateful to everyone who donated to ARF’s Pet Food Pantry and to our incredible sponsors and vendors who made the day possible.

A huge thank you to Citarella for providing water and donating lunch for all of our staff and volunteers!
