Our October featured rescue group is <strong>Shelter Link!</strong>  Shelter Link is a (501 c 3) non-profit all volunteer organization created to help the animals at the Town of Islip Animal Shelter and surrounding community.  At the shelter, Shelter Link volunteers socialize the dogs, walk and exercise them, and their certified obedience instructor does basic training with them.  The cats are also socialized and groomed.  Shelter Link also runs fundraising events and attends many local fairs and festivals to promote the adoption of animals at the shelter.   Shelter Link has approximately 15 volunteers and would be happy to have more!  If you would like to volunteer, contact Rita Schrecongost by email at <a href="mailto:schrec@optonline.net">schrec@optonline.net</a>.  For donations please send to PO Box 163, Islip, NY 11751.  Website coming soon!  <a href="http://www.shelterlink.com/about.htm">www.shelterlink.com/about.htm</a> You can also check out the pets up for adoption at the shelter on <a href="http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NY586.html">http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NY586.html</a>
