County Executive Ed Romaine and State Assemblywoman Jodi Giglio presented a proclamation to Pam Green of Kent Animal Shelter on Nov. 7 to recognize Kent’s tireless and unwavering dedication to saving homeless animals over the past 55 years.
The proclamation went on to say that the shelter is a beacon of hope and a haven of healing for animals that were abused or abandoned, giving them a second chance in life. It was presented at the Kent Gala, held at the Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead and attended by 285 guests.
The shelter is currently building new facilities at its Calverton location. The project, which includes a new kennel and isolation facilities, is expected to be finished in the spring of 2025.
