Animals of the Month
LIGHT FURY: Light Fury may be less than a year old, but she’s already proven herself to be a devoted and resilient mother. She was living in a family’s backyard in Wainscott when she gave birth to six kittens. Thankfully, the family cared for her and her babies until they were old enough to come to ARF to be spayed/neutered—and now, Light Fury is ready for a home of her own. Still a kitten herself, Light Fury is gentle, affectionate, and deserving of a little pampering. She’s looking for a loving family who can give her the care and comfort she gave her kittens. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet soul into your life, Light Fury is waiting to meet you.
GRAY: This is Gray’s world — we’re just living in it. This spunky little seven-year-old man came to ARF from Georgia and is ready for a life of luxury in the Hamptons. He’ll absolutely let you know what he wants — especially when it comes to treats! Gray loves affection and being with his people but also values his independence. He can be sassy and prefers things on his terms — including when (and if!) he wants to be picked up. He’s selective with dog friends and may be too much for cats, but with a personality this big, Gray is sure to be the star of your household. Gray’s rescue was made possible with support from The Irving and Phyllis Millstein Foundation. Come meet him today — if he’s ready for you.

32nd Annual Celebration on October 11th Features Designer Isaac Mizrahi, Expanded Festivities, and a Fundraising Competition to Save Animals
Get ready for wagging tails, sandy paws, and plenty of community spirit, because the 32nd Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk is back! On Saturday, October 11th, 2025, the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF Hamptons) (www.arfhamptons.org) will once again bring hundreds of dogs and their people together for a joyful morning in East Hampton. This year promises to be the biggest and most exciting Dog Walk yet, with more time to shop local vendors, expanded photo opportunities at Mulford Farm and Main Beach, and a brand-new fundraising competition with exclusive custom merchandise.
The morning kicks off with none other than designer and entertainer Isaac Mizrahi, who will bring his signature wit and warmth to the pre-walk festivities and awards presentation at Mulford Farm before the two-mile stroll to Main Beach begins.
“As we watched so many dog lovers come together year after year, we realized we could expand that love to help even more dogs and cats in need,” said Kim Nichols, Executive Director, ARF Hamptons. “This event has always been about community, joy, and compassion – and now, with our new fundraising competition, everyone has a chance to make an even bigger impact.”
This year features a new schedule of events at Mulford Farm with dog contests, vendor shopping, food, music, and activities for the whole family. Participants who raise the most funds will be celebrated with prizes and recognition for their lifesaving efforts.
