Dear Sun Spots: We would like to find a dog day-care facility in the Auburn/Lewiston area so our dogs can play and socialize with other dogs. I know there are some around, but I can’t seem to find any in the phone book or any advertisements online or in the paper for them.

I did a Google search and found two in Gray, but would prefer to find something closer. Do you know of any? Thanks a lot. – No Name, Auburn.
