As a animal lover who rescued two dogs of her own, one from North Hempstead Animal Shelter and the other from Second Chance Rescue, Navaretta says she is passionate about promoting the adoption of rescue animals and North Shore Animal League America’s mission. “Since we used to rent our headquarters it prohibited our ability to open up our space to support various causes; however, now that we own our property we are in the position to open our space to support charities and organizations that are near and dear to our hearts like North Shore Animal League America,” she explains.

She adds, “While I was growing up, North Shore Animal League America was always known as a reputable organization that took care of the animals it rescued and has remained true to its reputation. It is because of its integrity as a refuge for animal rescues and its no-kill commitment that I am delighted to provide my agency as its adoption venue for the day and to support this wonderful organization’s mission in helping to find responsible, loving homes for these lovable animals. We encourage everyone to come out and participate.”
