LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society invites the community to a Puppy Shower to celebrate the arrival of upcoming puppies on Saturday, Feb. 20.

More puppies are being brought to the animal shelter since they launched a new program in an effort to have more of them available for adoption. Individuals who bring in their litters can have the mother spayed and vaccinated for free. The shelter in turn sterilizes, vaccinates and places the puppies into loving homes.

To help care for the puppies, the shelter will have a shower and bake sale help them get ready for the newborns. Donations such as dry and canned puppy food, small collars, leashes, puppy shampoo and puppy toys are just a few of the many supplies needed to help with their upcoming arrivals.

The Humane Society is located at 55 Strawberry Ave. For more information on the Puppy Shower, items needed for the young animals, the dogs and any puppies available for adoption, call the shelter at 783-2311 or visit www.gahumane.org.
