Does dad want more love around the house? The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) recently launched a new social media campaign, #ARFRESCUELOVE, created by ARF adopter—and well know Ad Man—Neil Kraft (he’s the man behind the iconic Marky Mark and Kate Moss Calvin Klein ads) and ARF board member Amy Sullivan, to bring attention to ARF’s rescue missions. The two reached out to photographer Francine Fleischer, who turned the ARF conference room into a makeshift studio over the winter. An inaugural exhibition of the #ARFRESCUELOVE photographs are on display now at the recently restored Madoo Conservancy at 618 Sagg Main Road in Sagaponack. arfhamptons.org, madoo.org
