AUBURN – The Greater Androscoggin Humane will host its annual meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 20, at the shelter, 3312 Hotel Road.

Anyone who lives, works or studies in the greater Androscoggin community, or anyone who cares about the communities’ homeless, abandoned and abused animals, is welcome. Attendees will hear about the Humane Society’s funding and services. Also, there will be an election of officers and the Sarah Agren Award recipient will be announced. Tours of the shelter and light refreshments will be available.

The society provides a safe haven for approximately 3,600 sick, homeless and abused animals in the greater Androscoggin area a year. The primary support for the shelter comes from fund-raising events and donations of residents.

The shelter gives back through community services, including animal intake and adoption, animal health services, reuniting people with lost animals, humane education and working with individuals who are disadvantaged or developmentally disabled.

The shelter serves 11 municipalities, including Lewiston, Auburn, Turner and Greene, and a population of more than 100,000 people.

Anyone interested in volunteering at the shelter or adopting an animal should call the shelter at 783-2311 or visit the Web site at www.gahumane.org.
