Dog Days of Summer

The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Historical Council and the North Fork Animal Welfare League are teaming up to present “Dog Days of Summer.” On Saturday, August 17, the Cutchogue Village Green is going to the dogs with a multi-group adoption event and the first ever “Eastminster” Dog Show.

The multi-group adoption event is the first of its-kind on the North Fork. Opening the event to other organizations in the animal welfare community ensures that there is a large selection of animals available for adoption, along with giving more animals a broader audience to find homes. Participating groups include Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Bideawee, Kent Animal Shelter, Last Chance Animal Rescue, Long Island Greyhound Connection, North Fork Animal Welfare League (Southold Animal Shelter & Riverhead Animal Shelter), Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, and Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

Admission is free and the event will be held from 10 AM to 4 PM. The dog show takes place from 1 to 3 PM.
