Families across Westchester will have the chance to welcome new pets into their lives during a community adoption event hosted by Manzer’s Landscape Design on October 12. The day promises wagging tails, delicious food, and a chance for neighbors to connect over something that matters.
Peekskill, NY, September 12, 2025 — On a crisp October morning, the team at Manzer’s Landscape Design will trade their usual work of shaping outdoor spaces for something a little more heartwarming. On Saturday, October 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the local residential landscaper is partnering with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to host a community pet adoption event at its new location at Whispering Pines Nursery and Garden Center. Guests will have the opportunity to meet cats and dogs in search of forever homes while enjoying wood-fired pizza and handmade gelato from Sapori di Napoli.
For Chapman “Chappy” Manzer, the founder, the event is about more than landscaping or even adoption. “We’ve always believed that being part of a community means showing up in ways that matter,” Chapman said. “Helping families and pets find each other, while sharing great food, is a reminder of what makes Peekskill special.”
The adoption day will feature SPCA staff and volunteers who will introduce visitors to animals waiting to be adopted and provide guidance on what to expect when bringing a pet home. Every adoption conversation is rooted in ensuring that the right family meets the right pet, creating lasting bonds that truly change lives.
Food will play its part too. Sapori di Napoli, beloved for its traditional Italian flavors, will be serving wood-fired pizza and creamy gelato, making the event both meaningful and memorable.
An SPCA representative explained the value of joining forces with a local business like Manzer’s. “When companies step up to support events like these, we’re able to reach more people and ultimately place more animals in safe, loving homes,” the spokesperson said. “It’s a partnership that multiplies our impact.”
Manzer’s Landscape Design has been part of the Peekskill community since 2001, building landscapes and long-standing relationships through service and civic engagement. From donating trees to schools and community gardens to supporting local nonprofits, the commercial landscaper has made giving back a cornerstone of its work. Hosting this adoption day is a continuation of that same commitment.
Families and animal lovers across Westchester are invited to stop by, meet the pets, share a meal with neighbors, and perhaps leave with more than they expected, a new companion who will become part of their family story.
