Huntington Town Supervisor Ed Smyth and Legislator Stephanie Bontempi (R-18th L.D.) joined together for a press conference in front of the Town of Huntington’s Dog and Cat Shelters on Tuesday to officially kick off a Pet Supply Drive benefiting several local animal shelters.
The drive will run from September 2 through October 15, with donation boxes located at Huntington Town Hall (100 Main Street, Huntington) and Legislator Bontempi’s District Office (224 Wall Street, Suite 303, Huntington). For those wishing to contribute early, boxes will be available in advance at both collection locations.
“I’m proud to partner with Town of Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth on this Pet Supply Drive to benefit our local dog and cat shelters”, said Legislator Bontempi. “Our shelters are no-kill facilities, staffed by compassionate professionals who deeply care for any dogs or cats they take in. Your donations will directly support their work, ensuring these animals receive the care they deserve while they wait for adoption into loving homes”.
“Our local animal shelters do incredible work caring for pets in need, and I’m grateful to everyone who is joining us in this pet supply drive to support them”, said Supervisor Ed Smyth. “My team at the Huntington animal shelter are top-notched professionals, whose compassion and commitment ensure that our animals get the care and training they need until they find their forever home. But right now, they could use the help of a generous community to help with supplies to keep these animals safe and happy”.
Residents are encouraged to stop by either one of the drop-off locations at their convenience to support the drive.
Requested Donations Include:
For the Town’s Dog Shelter: Collars, leashes, flea/tick preventative, indestructible dog toys, dog shampoo, new towels, fleece blankets, food puzzles, metal food & water bowls, canned food, and treats.
For the Town’s Cat Shelter: Fancy Feast pâté wet food (for adults and kittens), lickable treats, pill pockets, laundry detergent, bleach, hand soap, dish soap, garbage bags, and other cleaning supplies.
