"Free Love" Weekend at Brookhaven Animal Shelter

The Town of Brookhaven’s Animal Shelter will once again celebrate an early Valentine’s Day by hosting the “Free Love” Weekend on Saturday, Feb. 11 and Sunday, Feb. 12. During the two-day event, the Animal Shelter will waive adoption fees for those who adopt a pet, provide free microchipping and free pet food.

Last year, the event resulted in the adoption of 16 dogs and five cats. The event times are Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m.

An affiliate of the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, the mission of the Help the Animals Fund is to prevent cruelty to animals and to provide sick, neglected and injured stray animals at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter the much needed and deserved medical care that they would otherwise not receive. This fund is supported 100 percent by voluntary donations, which are tax deductible. The Help the Animals Fund makes programs like Spay it Forward and the Brookhaven Bully Alliance possible.

The Animal Shelter is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon - 4 p.m. It is located at 300 Horseblock Road in Brookhaven, NY 11719.
