LEWISTON – The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society has begun accepting donations for the annual garage sale on Novella Street. The dates for the sale are Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 and 11.

Items can be dropped off at the Humane Society on Saturdays through August. That will be the only time that items will be received. All must be salable and in clean condition. No appliances, clothes or shoes will be accepted.

The Humane Society provides a haven for approximately 3,600 sick, homeless and abused animals 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 society is at 3312 Hotel Road in Auburn. If interested in learning more about volunteering at the shelter or adopting an animal, call 783-2311 or visit the Web at www.gahumane.org.
