More than 250 prominent business and community leaders from around the county attend thisevent, along with some of their furry friends. Dollars raised at the Gala directly support the work the shelter is doing to ensure that the animals in their care are treated with kindness and dignity until they can find their forever homes. The support of attendees, sponsors and donations will help the shelter continue to expand their programs, purchase specialized equipment and enhance the facilities as well as find loving homes for the animals in their care.
Proceeds from this year’s gala celebration will be directed to the Help Heal Fund. When an animal is severely ill or injured, the Help Heal Fund provides the means for expensive surgery and medicine, giving dogs and cats a second chance at life and finding a loving and permanent home.

About the New Rochelle Humane Society: The New Rochelle Humane Society, founded in 1911, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting the human/animal bond through the compassionate care and treatment of animals throughout the communities we serve in Westchester county and beyond. To that end, our goal is to create a living environment that is not just a shelter, but a transitional home for stray, lost, abandoned, injured, and abused animals, until they can ultimately be placed in loving permanent homes. Through promotion of successful pet adoption, animal population control, and public education of animal welfare issues, we advance our belief that pet ownership is a lifetime commitment.
