Fun-Filled 'Pints & Pups' Fundraiser In Amagansett: Photos

AMAGANSETT, NY — Puppy love filled the air at the Amagansett American Legion Hall on Saturday, as the East Hampton Lions Club held their First Annual "Pints & Pups" fundraiser benefiting the Guide Dog Foundation, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons.

Physical therapist and East Hampton Lion Dr. Rachel Lys, owner of East Hampton Physical Therapy in Montauk, accepted the Club's $2,500 donation check to the Guide Dog Foundation.

Dogs of all breeds brought their people, as they showed off, ran around, and competed for awards in fun four-footed categories, including Most Unique Breed, Most Unique Feature, Floppiest Ears, Best Tricks, Dog/Owner Look-Alike, and Best Dressed. Receiving Best of Show was a Belgian Shepherd.

Humans enjoyed a day of food and drink, live music, ice cream, face painting, dog treats and toys.
