On Dec. 17, from 4 to 7 p.m., Last Hope Animal Rescue will be con
tinuing a holiday tradition begun in 1998 called “Trees of Love” at the Last Hope Adoption Center at 3300 Beltagh Ave., in Wantagh. Refreshments will be served after the tree illumination ceremony.
Participants may purchase ribbons for $10 each. Gold ribbons honor living pets and red ribbons memorialize late pets. Pets’ names are written on the ribbons. A third tree is decorated in green ribbons only, but these are to remember the countless discarded pets throughout the country euthanized each year at overcrowded shelters. Supporters can also purchase these symbolic ribbons. All “Trees of Love” proceeds benefit Last Hope’s rescued dogs and cats plus our community outreach programs such as Fix-A-Feral.
