Food for Love: Dancing for Animals
Alex Horowitz — April 10, 2023

Liz Peterson has been a dance teacher for more than 30 years. And as long as she can remember, she’s been a passionate advocate for animals.

Along the way, those two passions intersected, and Dancing for Animals was born. She describes her organization as “primarily a fundraising vehicle to raise money to give grants to other animal welfare organizations to further their mission.”

In 2008, Peterson noticed a trend that worried her. A rising number of pet households had to bring their animals to shelter because they could not afford the upkeep and care due to the financial crisis, which also caused shelters to quickly become overrun and overwhelmed.  READ MORE AT Food for Love: Dancing for Animals – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill
