All humane societies rely on the generosity of community members. This includes our local shelter, Lincoln County Animal Shelter located at 27 Atlantic Highway, Edgecomb.

In the spirit of the season I encourage you to contribute items you may already have around your home or could pick up at on your next trip to the grocery store. All items you donate to the shelter in Edgecomb stay there.

Items they could use include clean new/used linens, towels and toys. No pillows. Wet or dry pet food, treats, small animal food, Timothy hay, unscented litter, all sizes of garbage bags, laundry or dish detergent, paper plates, cups, or paper towels, newspaper. Pantry items such as peanut butter, squeeze cheese, tuna and hot dogs. They also have a wish list on their website; https://midcoasthumane.org/donate/donate-supplies.

Likewise, if you and someone you know need help getting pet supplies you can visit the Pet Pantry at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter or the Action for Animals Maine Facebook page or call 207-350-1312. Thank you for supporting your local shelter!
