We all have that "special pet". You know, the dog or cat that saw you through some of your toughtest days or shared your finest moments. That dog that stayed with you when you were sick. That cat that sat by your side when you thought your world was falling apart. The dog you wanted at your wedding, or the cat you moved into your first apartment with. They are a part of our lives forever.
~ Sue Hassett, Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter Assistant Director
**********************
In an effort to beautify our town animal shelter, to make it a warm and welcoming place to adopt a companion dog, The Town of North Hempstead will be dedicating peaceful outdoor seating areas incorporating "Remberance Bricks". These bricks can be engraved with a personal message honoring beloved pets or sharing simple, inspirational thoughts or messages for visitors.
The Shelter Connection is sponsoring
"Pavers for Paws",
a program enabling the public to purchase a brick to help fund this garden seating area, while giving an enduring way to pay tribute to a loved one.
