Family fun day at animal shelter

Posted

The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh will host a Family Fun Day on Saturday, July 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There will be dance and musical entertainment from local artists, a pet photo booth, doggie bikini contest, doggie pools and sprinklers, face painting and glitter tattoos, and vendors. Food and snacks will be available for purchase, and there will also be giveaways and raffles.

Cats and dogs will be available for adoption. The town’s Summer of Love free adoption program continues through Sept. 12, so all adoption fees are waived. In addition, the shelter provides vaccinations and microchipping.

Guests attending Family Fun Day are asked to bring donations of animal toys, treats and goodies for shelter animals to the Rock & Rawhide tent.

The shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Ave. in Wantagh. For more information, call (516) 785-5220.
