These mini photo sessions take place on Saturday, May 1st between 10am and 4pm at Earth Animal, 606 Post Road East, in Westport.

One hundred percent of all donations go to the Westport Animal Shelter Advocates (W.A.S.A.), a local rescue group dedicated to helping homeless and abandoned dogs. This money will be targeted to help create outdoor runs for the Westport Animal Control Shelter and to buy supplies for homeless animals. Officer D’Amico, in charge of the shelter, extends an open invitation for all to come and check out the new indoor facility. The shelter is located on Elaine Road near the boat ramp off of Bridge Street.
