LEWISTON – The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society would like the community to know that on Tuesdays and Thursdays the shelter will temporarily adjust their business hours, as an effort to accommodate potential adopters during their competition in the ASPCA’s $100K Challenge.

Beginning immediately, the shelter will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the end of October. There will be no change in the business hours for the remaining days of the week. They are as follows: Monday and Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society is one of 50 shelters across the country competing in the ASPCA’s $100k Challenge event. This nationwide competition for animal shelters (and their communities) is aimed at getting more animals adopted or returned to their owners than ever before. Taking place from Aug. 1 through Oct.  31, they will compete to find homes for more cats and dogs than we did during that same three month period in 2010.
