CARIBOU, Maine — Halfway Home Pet Rescue had some great help recently from an AmeriCorps group based in Baltimore.
We are moving full steam ahead with the completion of the sanctuary. The walls are just about painted, the fencing is going up and the cabinets and countertops have been delivered. We have been straight out fundraising to make this happen. We have also been blessed with community support and donations.
Our volunteers have worked nonstop. Their commitment is unbelievable and we love them for that. Yes, we are behind schedule, but we are so close to an opening so please stay tuned – we will be announcing a grand opening date in the near future.
Feet. Most of us have them, some of us have one, many have two. I can remember when my son was little, I was fascinated by his tiny little feet and tiny little toes.

If you live in Maine, you “dress your feet” which is a phrase I was not accustomed to some 40 plus years ago when I moved here from New Jersey. In the south, you “put your shoes on” and in New England you “dress your feet.”
