Dance Studio Is Helping Pets Displaced By Hurricane Harvey

TOMS RIVER – In recent days, photos have been circulating on social media showing the forgotten animals of Hurricane Harvey – dogs and cats trapped in the floodwaters, or tied up and left behind in the frenzy of evacuation.

From A Dancer’s Pointe, located at 1311 Route 37 West next to the Marquee Theatre, decided to do something to help these Texas animals that are slowly being rescued. After discovering that the Monmouth County SPCA will be receiving some of the dogs, puppies, cats and kittens displaced by Hurricane Harvey via the group Wings of Rescue, the dance studio decided to initiate “A Month Of Giving” in September to collect much needed pet supplies and monetary donations for the rescued animals coming to New Jersey.

A donation box will be set up in the studio lobby for anyone to drop off the items listed below, as well as a jar on the reception desk to accept monetary donations. Hours of drop off are 5 to 8 p.m. When the box is full, the studio will coordinate a drop-off to the Monmouth County SPCA.
