8th Annual Paws Crossed Day Set For September

ELMSFORD, NY — Paws Crossed Animal Rescue will celebrate its eighth annual Paws Crossed Day on Saturday, Sept. 23.

The event will be held from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at FDR State Park in Yorktown Heights.

Paws Crossed Day will be fun-filled for the whole family and will take place in combination with the third Annual 5k Run/Walk.

This year, Paws Crossed Day will be honoring Thalle Industries for their community-centric partnerships, philanthropic leadership and dedication to the shelter’s mission to “Rescue One By One Until There Are None.”

“We are beyond grateful for the entire team at Thalle Industries,” said Jennifer Angelucci, president and CEO of Paws Crossed Animal Rescue. “Since ‘Day One,’ they have been the most amazing, supportive neighbors helping us in so many capacities, donating rocks for our play yards, snow plowing our property every single storm, using their equipment to move thousands of pounds of donated food for our magnificent pets.”

Thalle Industries is an environmentally responsible supplier of high-quality virgin and recycled aggregate, asphalt products, ready-mix concrete and brownfield fill for the construction industry. It operates three locations in New York: an asphalt plant and quarry in Fishkill; a Virtual Quarry in Elmsford that accepts clean, uncontaminated concrete, asphalt pavement and rock; and Dakota Concrete in Montrose, which produces ready-mix concrete and serves as a second Virtual Quarry.

Glenn Pacchiana, president and CEO of Thalle Industries, said the Virtual Quarry is next to Paws Crossed, so his employees often see the compassionate work that Paws Crossed staff and volunteers perform.

“We congratulate Paws Crossed for rescuing, rehabilitating and finding new homes for almost 400 dogs and cats in the first half of this year,” he said, “and we support their community education programs that encourage responsible pet ownership.”
