But these poor dogs don’t know anything about Lewiston. They just know they need your help. 18 people sleep with dogs for one night in a themed kennel. You can come and see them all! It’s also a mini competition! Who has the best theme and decorations and who raised the most money? Your contribution determines who wins!

Yes, that’s Lee Goldberg from News Center Maine with his little puppy last year.
Stop by on Friday, November 3rd from 5-8pm and you can pet Lee. Wait… I mean, pet the dog! It is a Paw-ty Animal Shelter! Lee is great at raising money, but not as good as News Center Maine’s Amanda Hill – she really knows how to raise money!

This is Lori and her dog Casco. A sweet little dog that she loves very much and wants other dogs to find their forever family.
Can you help? I know Mainers have been asked for help a lot lately, and that fact has not been lost on the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland in Westbrook. Plus, the holidays are just around the corner – it’s not an easy time. But again, these animals don’t know about this… so if you can help, thank you.
