We’re Celebrating With Special Adoption Events

Everybody loves a birthday…. Rescue dogs deserve birthday celebrations and that was the thinking when North Shore Animal League America declared the first day of August as DOGust 1st®, the official birthday of all rescue dogs or as we like to call them, Mutt-i-grees.

At Our Port Washington Campus

To get the party started this year, all animals 4 months and older will be FREE (donations appreciated) for approved adopters from August 1st through August 11th at our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center.*

*All adoptions are subject to approval. Offer applies to adoptions of dogs and cats 4 months or older only. Must be 21 or older to adopt. Spay/neuter deposit may apply. Available at our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center only.

Stop by the Scooter’s Coffee Pet Cup ATM, plus other special activities and treats for you pups at our Port Washington campus.
