The Kit Kat Fund

The Kit Kat Fund was established by Michael Dehn Breault and Gordon H. Hoppe to honor Kit Kat, a retired show dog and beloved Miniature Schnauzer who offered unwavering love, support, and companionship.

Sophie was an ARF rescue who survived the horrors of a puppy mill as a young pup and struggled to transition to life outside that cruel environment. Kit Kat became her best friend and was instrumental in helping Sophie adjust.

Kit Kat tragically died too soon, and the Kit Kat Fund was established in her memory, to encourage and support puppy mill survivors and those who care for them, and to provide financial support for senior and medically complex animals.

Kit Kat’s legacy will shineforever as a testament to the power of love, reminding us that every dog canmake a difference.

Please consider a donation in honor of Kit Kat and in honor of all those like her, that remind us that dogs and cats can sometimes be the best therapy for one another.

Kit Kat Fund Recipients Available for Adoption

Consider giving a home to one of these deserving animals.

Daisy, 8-years-old

Daisy has loads of love to give! She came to ARF as a surrender, and is now looking for a new place to call home. Daisy is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. She is also smart as a whip and is eager to learn more. Daisy does have some anxiety, so she takes her time getting comfortable with new people, but once she knows you’re her friend, she’s a big mush! Due to her anxiety, a calm home with children over the age of 12 is recommended. Daisy doesn’t always want a canine companion around, so a thorough meet and greet is a must. If you’re looking for a best friend in a dog, look no further; Daisy is your girl!

Daisy is currently living in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please contact the adoptions team at adoptions@arfhamptons.org to set up an appointment.

Miss Pickles, 4-years-old

Miss Pickles is a gorgeous Pit Bull Terrier who loves people and loves to give kisses! She was found as a stray in October 2024. It appears that she was left in a wooded area in Springs to fend for herself before being brought to East Hampton Animal Control and then to ARF. This survivor with a heart of gold and a BIG personality is known for serenading staff and volunteers with her adorable squeaks and noises. Miss Pickles is dog selective, so a meet and greet would be necessary if she were to have a canine sibling. She also requires a special diet due to allergies. Come meet Pickles and you will find it impossible not to fall in love with her!

If you are interested in meeting her, please contact the adoptions team at adoptions@arfhamptons.org to set up an appointment.
