Street Party to Benefit Montclair Animal Shelter

Friends of the Montclair Township Animal Shelter is hosting a fun, family-friendly summer celebration to raise both awareness of, and much needed additional funds for, the Montclair Township Animal Shelter.   Open to all, the street party promises succulent food, a bunch of fun activities for the kids and great, groovy music – plus the chance to meet all the sweet, affectionate neighborhood animals needing and deserving new homes.

MTAS will extend its hours that day, opening at noon, and also offer discounted adoption fees during the event - $70 for dogs, $50 for cats.  Shelter staff will be on-hand to answer any questions and to help match potential adopters with an animal that’s a perfect fit. 

Admission is free, though a small monetary donation will be required for food and activities. Residents are also encouraged to bring in-kind donations: items such as cat litter, pet food, pet toys, laundry detergent, old newspapers, and used-but-unsoiled linens like blankets, towels and pet beds are always appreciated.   Local vendors on-site will donate a portion of their proceeds from the day.  All proceeds raised from the outdoor event will go towards helping the shelter’s animals.
