North Shore Animal League To Hold Pet Adoption Event In Glen Cove

GLEN COVE, NY — Some furry friends will be ready to steal hearts on Saturday at a Valentine’s Day -themed pet adoption event planned for the grounds of the dog-friendly luxury condominium development, The Beacon at Garvies Point in Glen Cove.

The event, which is a partnership between North Shore Animal League America and The Beacon, will feature a mobile shelter with adoptable puppies and kittens. The shelter will be parked inside the lot beside the Garvies Point Dog Park.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mobile shelter visits will be by-appointment-only and there will be thorough sanitization of the vehicle between visitors. Masks and social-distancing practices will also be enforced, according to organizers.

The mobile shelter has windows on one side, so visitors will be able to see the animals without entering the unit. North Shore Animal League volunteers will also bring older dogs that are veterans of adoption events to enjoy the dog park.

Food trucks at the event will include the Long Island-based Bacon You Crazy food truck which is known for its comfort food and sandwiches.

In addition to allowing the league to host the event on site, The Beacon’s developers, RxR Realty, also made a donation to support the no-kill shelter’s mission.
