The Southampton Animal Shelter takes in animals from all over the country.  Their training is excellent.  The work of the shelter is superior on all levels.  One of our  family’s  adopted dogs is from the Shelter and he is absolutely wonderful.”

The grand soiree will be among the highlights of this summer season out east. This year the event honors Dave Portnoy and Miss Peaches and the Lifetime Achievement Recipient will be Cathy Bissell of the Bissell Pet Foundation.  The fun-filled gala will feature cocktails and a delicious, seated dinner, as well as dancing. In addition, a live and silent auction will help raise much-needed funds for the animals.
