SANTA “PAWS” arrived in Presque Isle Nov. 29, visiting the Central Aroostook Humane Society while he was in town. While there, Santa took time to have his photo taken with visitors and their pets, with all proceeds benefiting the shelter.
Refreshments were provided for those who attended the annual fund-raising event. Santa will be back in town on Saturday, Dec. 6, giving those who missed him last weekend one more chance to get a Christmas keepsake of their pet and/or a loved one with the Jolly Old Elf before he returns to the North Pole to prepare for his journey around the world in search of good little boys and girls. So mark your calendar and visit the shelter this weekend. Here, Santa is pictured with Teddie, a Pekingnese dog rescued from downstate and a former shelter resident, who now resides with his new owner, Crystal Patterson, a member of the shelter staff.
