Earlier this week we were thrilled to have held our first annual Give a Dog a Dream event at the beautiful Del Vino Vineyards Vineyards honoring Dr. Russell Fredericks. Dr. Fredericks has been proudly caring for our animals for over 20 years and we couldn't be more grateful for his guidance and support . A sincere thank you to all of our supporters, donors and everyone who helped make this evening so successful.

A special thank you to Christopher Appoldt Photography who is always willing to share his talents documenting this special evening.

Huntington Raises Over $9,500 for Give a Dog a Dream During Betty White Challenge with Huntington Animal Shelter

Huntington – Town of Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth announced the Town of Huntington raised $9,585 in donations for Give A Dog A Dream in one week.

“Our generous residents would have made Betty White proud,” said Supervisor Ed Smyth. “Huntington loves our shelter dogs.”

Supervisor Smyth, along with his rescue dog Louie, first invited residents to participate in the Betty White Challenge on Wednesday, January 12 and in one week, the Town has raised $9,585 for Give A Dog A Dream from 451 donations. On January 17th alone, which would have been Betty White’s 100th birthday, 339 donations came in totaling $6,749. The Huntington Animal Shelter also received donations of collars, leashes and treats for the Town’s shelter dogs.

Give a Dog a Dream Inc. is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, formed by the Town in 2014, that funds medically necessary surgeries and treatments, advanced behavior modification training, and costs related to finding forever homes for dogs with the Huntington Animal Shelter long-term, who may be difficult to place in a traditional home due to behavioral issues that cannot be retrained through the shelter's rehabilitation program. Donations can me made online at https://www.giveadogadream.org/donate.

The Shelter takes donations of all types of but items the shelter needs most are flat collars (sizes M, L, XL), flat leashes, treats, and indestructible toys.

The Betty White Challenge encouraged fans of the late actress, who was an animal advocate and passed away on December 31, 2021 at the age of 99, to donate $5 to animal rescues and shelters in her name. January 17, 2022 would have been White’s 100th birthday.

You CAN help. Your contribution, large or small, will help to ensure that dogs in need receive specialized veterinary care and customized training and wellness programs. Your generosity may feed a hungry dog or aide in the kenneling of a lost or displaced dog. Every little bit helps dogs avoid being...

This is Gigi. She was surrendered to us after her owner could no longer care for her and keep up on her allergies and skin issues. Poor Gigi was underweight and her skin was dry and completely raw! We put all our resources into Gigi between getting her special foods, treats, skin treatments and even an allergy test. Gigi suffered for many years with these issues but we can proudly say that she has made a huge improvement! Although Gigi’s skin still needs to be properly taken care of everyday; her inflammation has decreased by 100%! Her skin is shiny and smooth, her weight has doubled and her confidence is back. Now all she needs is a loving home!

Please go check out Gigi at the Huntington Animal Shelter, located at 106 Deposit rd, East Northport. She is a beautiful, friendly girl who needs the right home to really complete her journey.
