Spay/neuter seems like a simple concept right? Spaying and neutering cuts down on the number of unwanted pets that in many cases end up at shelters or even worse are left to fend for themselves out in the elements.
We are now into the hunting season, whether it is with guns or bows, hunting for birds, bear, rabbits, deer or any wild animal.

There are so many types of personalities when it comes to pets. “Shy” is a word that some folks use to describe cats and dogs who are fearful. Many times this “shyness” is a fear of strangers, but it can also be fear of being picked up and handled, new places or sudden movements or noises.

This past week on the Central Aroostook Humane Society’s Facebook page, we asked everyone to show us some loved rescued pets. We said, “Share a picture and make our day.”
The Houlton Humane Society has received a $120,000 grant from the Elmira B. Sewell Foundation to help defray the costs associated with spay/ neuter clinics offered to pet owners in southern Aroostook County.
