To the Editor:

Artful Noir was an evening of elegance, of fine art, music, fashion and fun, organized by Cricket Luker of Wildflowers and Wildflowers Too. It was an evening of compassion, of raising money to care for pets and their owners in need of help.

The Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter’s new fund, “Someone Helped Me,” makes it possible for pets with serious medical issues to remain with their owners, rather than being surrendered to the shelter, all because: someone helped them.
