LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society is accepting registrations for people and their canine friends to walk in the Strutt Your Mutt or run in the Dash for Dogs 5K Sunday, April 28.
Both events will take place at the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, 55 Strawberry Ave.
Registration will begin at 8 a.m. with a timed run and walk — not timed — starting at 9 a.m. The money raised from this event directly benefits the homeless, abandoned and abused animals at the humane society for their food, shelter, veterinary care and a chance at a new home.
This is a casual run/walk along the Androscoggin Riverside Trail; dogs are welcome, but not necessary. Participating as a team through your business or with your friends is also encouraged. Dogs must be leashed on leads no longer that 6′ (no retractable leashes allowed) and have their current rabies vaccination. No dogs in heat please. Sign up information is available at the shelter or online at www.SavingPetsInMaine.org.
The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society provides a safe haven for more than 3,000 sick, homeless and abused animals in the greater Androscoggin area per a year. The primary support for the shelter comes from fundraising events — such as Strutt your Mutt and the Dash for Dogs 5K — and donations from concerned citizens. Those interested in learning more about volunteering at the shelter or adopting an animal may call 207-783-2311 or visit www.SavingPetsInMaine.org or www.facebook/GAHumane.
