Kent Animal Shelter fundraiser a success

Kent Animal Shelter’s Evening of Comedy on May 12 at the Hotel Indigo in Riverhead, featuring comedians Joe DeVito and Tommy Gooch, raised $6,500. Funds raised will be allocated to the 2017 Rescue Campaign that provides medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations and special surgery to rescued animals. The show delighted attendees, and the shelter’s Executive Director Pamela Green and board Vice President Chuck Bowman took the opportunity to recognize the shelter’s board president, Dr. Chuck Timpone of Mattituck-Laurel Veterinary, for his 20 plus years of life-saving care for shelter pets.
