Sunday’s Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons Stroll to the Sea fund-raiser will bring together pet lovers in support of other animals in need of help.

Pet owners are invited to take their furry friends for a two-mile there-and-back walk between the Mulford Farm and Main Beach. The scenic stroll will take place from 10 a.m. to noon leaving from 10 James Lane in East Hampton. Gates open at 9. Each registrant will receive a free T-shirt, a tote bag, and plenty of goodies after the walk.

If you can’t make it, no problem — there’s an option to participate virtually. Top fund-raisers will win prizes like a pet portrait, a community-supported agriculture summer share for the 2025 season at Amber Waves Farm, and a Yappy Hour hosted at ARF’s William P. Rayner Training Center.

Sandy Rapp will provide live music, and ARF will have a mobile adoption van on site. After the walk, there will be a range of contests such as dog-companion look-alike, “the pooch who can smooch,” and stupid pet tricks, with Isaac Mizrahi, the fashion designer, as master of ceremonies. Registration begins at $40 at give.arfhamptons.org/dogwalk.
