Jean Shafiroff thanked attendees for coming, saying, “Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation is vitally important to the well being of our homeless animals. We are a no kill shelter, ranked in the top 10 percent of animal shelters in the country, as we provide a loving environment for the animals.” She continued to thank attendees for their support as the shelter “relies on private donations to continue our operations.”
In addition to the stunning jewelry and the delicious Turkish wine, guests were able to play with adorable dogs up for adoption, of which 12 found forever homes as a result of the event.
100% of the proceeds go directly to Southampton Animal Shelter’s crucial initiatives, such as their low-cost spay/neuter mobile van granted by the ASPCA, efforts to rescue animals enslaved in puppy mills, and the daily care of the rescues within the shelter. They will also benefit the shelter’s various programs that help special needs children, along with educating, mentoring and implementing SASF’s “Playing For Life” program, which is currently in over 40 shelters and highlighted at the major animal conferences throughout the U.S.
