The Humane Society of the United States quotes a national community average expenditure of $8 per resident per year for animal care and control in 2009.

Unfortunately, after all these years of being in operation, Hi-Tor is in need of repair, renovation and expansion. The shelter has volunteers who care for the animals, along with veterinarians who donate their time for medical care and treatment. They save approximately 2,500 animals each year and work tirelessly to find all animals a new adopted home.

Hi-Tor Animal Shelter of Pomona, NY has been taking care of strays and surrendered animals since 1973. So when my hair stylist, Peggy Marzell of Synergy Hair Salon in New City, NY told me about a fund raiser for Rockland County’s sole Animal Shelter – Hi-Tor, I felt it was my duty to volunteer. His name was taken from the brackish-water loving fish.ĭogs have been a major part of my life and I am committed to animal causes. When my family left Queens to move to the wilds of northern, NJ, I finally received a Golden Retriever mix named Pikey. I wanted a damn dog! In the end, I didn’t get my canine friend, but instead got a teddy bear hamster named Fifi, who became my confidante and friend. I didn’t care what kind of dog- could’ve been hairless, shaggy, wrinkly or scraggly. I was just a kid in rust colored corduroys when I first begged and pleaded for a dog.
