Hundreds of walkers, a sea of wagging tails, and one unforgettable morning from Mulford Farm to Main Beach. Our 33rd Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk broke records for both turnout and fundraising, and we’re still not over it.

👏 A huge congratulations to our top fundraiser, Andy Yuder!

To our sponsors, volunteers, staff, walkers, and supporters, THANK YOU for showing up, stepping up, and making this our biggest walk yet.

Already counting down to next year? The 34th Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk returns October 9, 2027. Save the date!

We’re still riding the high of Dog Walk weekend, and these happy tails are keeping it going! Puppies Chief, Clover, and Colette, along with kittens Bulla and Curry, have officially found their forever homes! From tiny paws to big personalities, these little ones are off to start their next chapters surrounded by the love they deserve.

To their new families, congratulations on finding your newest family members! And to everyone who helped make these happy endings possible, thank you for being part of their story. There’s nothing better than seeing our ARF animals go home. Here’s to a lifetime of love, cuddles, and making memories together! 💚

POV: You had the best Saturday ever at ARF’s 33rd Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk! 🌊

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support ARF’s shelter animals and make this year’s walk one to remember. If you were there, you already know. If you weren’t, you’re about to see what you missed. 👀

And trust us, we’re just getting started. SO much more to come! 💚

Our kennels are full, but today, we make room. 💔 986 shelters and rescues are in harm’s way as a Category 3 hurricane approaches. Tens of thousands of animals are depending on us.

When the storm passes, families will be desperately searching for the pets they love. By moving shelter dogs to safety now, we can help local shelters make room for the animals who will need help in the aftermath.

This afternoon, 20 dogs will arrive on an emergency flight at Westhampton Airport, where ARF Hamptons and Kent Animal Shelter 🐕🐾🐈‍⬛ will welcome them with open arms. BISSELL Pet Foundation called, and we did not hesitate to say yes.

With our 33rd Annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk less than 24 hours away, our team is already working around the clock. But when the call for help comes, we find a way. This is rescue at its best: acting before disaster strikes, working together across organizations, and making room for the lives that need us most.

Follow ARF Hamptons | Animal Shelter & Adoption Center in East Hampton for updates as our newest rescues arrive. Join us tomorrow morning at the Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk or donate at ARFDOGWALK.ORG. Every bit of support helps us say yes when the next life is counting on us. 💚
