Pet Celebration Day

It was a great turnout at Pet Celebration Day on Saturday, May 17, at the ARF Adoption Center in East Hampton. The public was invited to bring the whole family, and pets too, for a tail-wagging pet fair dedicated to the joy our cats and dogs bring and the impact of ARF’s rescue efforts over the last 50 years.

Attendees learned about ARF’s programs and services, including the Operation Cat TNR program, dog training and socialization classes, volunteer opportunities, lemonARF, ARF’s Pet Food Pantry and low cost spay/neuter clinics.

The festivities included music, vendors, a scavenger hunt, face painting, crafts for the kids, the dog agility course, “Ask the Trainer,” free nail clipping, free microchipping, low-cost vaccines, plus coffee, bottled water, and candy treats. Food was available and in addition, there was the opportunity to meet ARF’s cats and dogs available for adoption.
