Tammie Grieshaber of Auburn walks her 14-month-old standard poodle, Shiloh, along the Riverwalk as part of the City of Auburn’s fundraising efforts Saturday to purchase dog waste receptacles. “There’s definitely a problem with people picking up after their dogs, and it’s a health hazard, too,” said Bonnie McHugh, station manager at WEZR, who was selling T-shirts behind Festival Plaza to fund the receptacles. At the same time, in Lewiston, radiology workers at Central Maine Medical Center, who go by the Dempsey Challenge team name Peace Love Photons, were hosting the “Doggies for Dempsey” fundraiser in Simard-Payne Police Memorial Park. Dog owners could buy raffle tickets, human and dog treats and have pet portraits taken. All money raised at “Doggies for Dempsey” helped the team’s fundraising goal for the challenge, which benefits the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing in Lewiston.
