Adopt-A-Dog, Inc., a rescue shelter dedicated to finding good homes for adoptable dogs and cats, proudly announces that it will be honored for its services by the Town of North Castle in a ceremony on November 6 during National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week.

 

Supervisor Reese Berman stated, “Animal shelters help both animals and people in many ways, by rescuing abandoned or abused animals, educating the public, and matching up families with new animal companions, but the work they do and the important services they provide often go unnoticed and underappreciated.  During National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, the Town of North Castle wants to applaud publicly Adopt-A-Dog for providing lifesaving services and loving care to animals and people in our community.”

 

Town Supervisor Berman will present a proclamation at a special event at the shelter on 23 Cox Avenue in Armonk on Thursday, November 6 at 3:30.  The public is invited to attend.  In addition, Adopt-A-Dog staff members will talk about what it’s like to run a shelter and what they look for when finding permanent homes for the dogs and cats in their temporary care.  There will also be demonstrations on training and grooming and presentations on other products and services available to pet owners.

 

Allyson Halm, president of Adopt-A-Dog, said, “National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week gives us the opportunity to inform the public about ‘Seven Days – Seven Ways’ they can help Adopt-A-Dog in its mission:  Donate Stuff; Donate Money; Donate Time; Be a Sponsor; Be an Advertiser; Adopt an Animal; Share Your Stories.”   She concluded, “We depend solely on donations to continue our work of placing approximately 250 dogs and cats per year and, believe me, every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps us.”
