Pet-care can be costly. But a Port Washington-based organization hopes it can assist those in need of a helping hand this holiday season.
Dan’s Dog Walking and Pet Sitting is joining forces with Rock-Can-Roll, a Jericho-based non-profit organization that helps collect and distribute healthy non-perishable food for the less fortunate.
Donation boxes for pet-related items are being distributed to local vets, groomers, and other small businesses in Port Washington, Manhasset, Roslyn, Great Neck, Glen Cove, Glen Head, Sea Cliff, Old Brookville, Greenvale, Locust Valley and Albertson.
