ACAR has various volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is great for the heart and soul – volunteers make wonderful new friends but also help those less fortunate.
Those who would like to donate some time at the adoption center working with cats should contact Marilyn at 490- 2855.
The thrift store is also looking for a few good volunteers that may love animals but are not able to work directly with them. Those who would like to work a couple of hours or more at the thrift store should contact Debby at 676-9330 for additional information.
For those interested in adopting a pet, check out adoptable pets at petfinder.com in the 03906 zip code.
Adoption hours are every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Monday, Wednesday and Friday noon to 5 p.m. at the adoption center/foster home of Marilyn Harley, 251 Route 4, Sanford.
The rescue thrift store at 37 Market St., North Berwick, is open Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to noon.
All thrift store profits benefit the animals. Donations of items to the thrift store are welcome.
To assist the rescue’s mission of providing a safe environment and quality care for abandoned, abused and lost pets, you can become a Support for Life member by pledging $10 a month. The monthly donations help ACAR meet ongoing expenses and continue its work as a true “No Kill” organization.
