Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. East Hampton area adoptable pets. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a new four-legged companion is at Animal Rescue Fund of The Hamptons Inc., where Smushie the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. Maybe you would consider fostering a pet. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year-round, many shelters offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.
