KDHamptons Readers: again, we ask you to join us as we continue our relationship with the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) in posting features dedicated to showcasing compassionate cats and devoted dogs that are available for adoption on the East End.

The SASF is an organization in the Hamptons devoted to the welfare of animals and to reduce the number of homeless pets. Come on Hamptonites, lend a helping hand in finding homes for needy pets this New Year.

Guess what? I have such great news to report: Since making their grand appearance on KDHamptons~ Jack, Charlotte, Suri & Esmerelda [who are pictured below] have all been adopted! I sure hope that my readers may have lent a helping hand!

Okay KDH animal lovers, let’s keep up the rescue effort! Here are two new furry friends below who need our help finding a home in the New Year…For more information on Precious and Shazaam, or to see other pets available for adoption, please go to: www.southamptonanimalshelter.com or call 631.728.PETS [7387]

Meet Precious, a 9-year old English Bulldog mix who is a victim of divorce. She gets along nicely with other dogs, cats and kids of any age!  She would be a “precious” addition to any home in the new year. Oh that face! She loves to run and play outside or snuggle up by a cozy winter fire.

Shazaam is a very handsome 4-year old cat who was found abandoned in the cold. He is very loveable and also de-clawed. He magically grows on you and is looking for a purrrfect start to 2012.
