Pets of the Week

Editor's Note: Pets of the Week profiles dogs, cats and other animals currently up for adoption at the Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk. The Animal Welfare Society (AWS) is urging local schools, scout troops, church groups, bridge clubs, bowling leagues, businesses and any other groups to take the "Project Kitten Challenge" by collecting the largest amount in total weight of desperately needed kitten supplies.

"Why should I enroll my dog and I in an obedience class when he already knows how to sit?" Safe Haven Humane Society has recently joined other animal welfare organizations in the area who list their homeless pets on Petfinder.com, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet. In February, an estimated 50 feral cats were surgically sterilized in a spay/neuter clinic as part of a communitywide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.
