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.



The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation will hold its Seventh Annual Unconditional Love Gala on Saturday, July 16 with cocktails at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:30pm. Tickets begin at $1,000 and can be purchased by contacting Adrienne Walter by phone at 631-488-8000 or by visiting www.southamptonanimalshelter.com.
