SPCA News
Stephanie Kelley We’ve made it through the first month of winter but baby, it’s still cold outside. A handsome silver tabby cat was found trying to take shelter under some vehicles in Aroostook. He was homeless, and the guy who found him couldn’t keep him, so Robert III, as...
Tigger Never Shuts Up…
Big Tig here, . Tigger was in the dog house. Angie was mad at me. I might have played a couple of mind games with the new dog. I might have got a couple of the other cats to help me. We might have continued, if we hadn’t...

WE’RE ALL DUNROAMIN’
MANLEY Call me fickle, but I have to tell you about my newest favourite dog, Manley. He was removed from terrible living conditions by a strong DunRoamin’ supporter who deals in rental properties. He’s a six- or seven-month old possible Great Dane mix, black and tan with a little...
