Ryder Revere Hosts FUNraiser For Nantucket Animal Shelter

By Melissa Moore-Randall

As latest summer heat wave continues to bring flocks of people to Revere Beach, Ryder Revere hosted a FUNraiser for four legged friends. On Sunday, three local area businesses hosted the fundraiser to benefit the Nantucket Safe Harbor for Animals (NISHA). Local dogs were treated to cookies from Nana’s Tea Time Treats, collars from Marjon Tondravi, Artisan bones from The Dirty Doodle, and doggie nails trims  from All That Jazz Grooming Salon.

Proceeds from the events went to NiSHA which is a non profit animal shelter and welfare organization based in Nantucket, MA that houses homeless, abandoned and relinquished pets. NISHA takes in and cares for Nantucket’s stray and surrendered pets, whether given up due to a move or allergies or found wandering the lanes of Nantucket.  All incoming animals receive sterilization, vaccines and a microchip before going on to new homes. They find new homes for those pets who can no longer stay with their families and have a 100% adoption rate for our adoptable animals. Beyond animal care and re-homing, they also offer behavior counseling, animal care training, and financial assistance information to pet owners.

Nana’s Tea Time Treats, owned and operated by Susan Demetri, is a registered 501c3 charity that makes homemade and handmade dog treats that are human grade meaning people can enjoy them too.  All of her treats are made out her home. 100% of all proceeds are donated to monthly dog rescue organizations.
