Riverhead Move the Animal Shelter’s Dancing for the Dogs fundraiser took place from noon to 5 p.m. on the riverfront Sunday.

A number of raffles prizes, including outdoor furniture, a dog bed, and a gift certificate to Cody’s BBQ in Riverhead were up for grabs as live music played and ice cream was served.

The nonprofit’s mission is to raise the funds necessary to move the town’s antiquated Youngs Avenue dog shelter, which is near the town landfill, to a new or rebuilt building at a new location. All proceeds will go toward a new shelter.
