In memory and in honor of "Jack".

Jen and Greg Hughes ran the Maine Marathon on October 2, as a tribute to "Jack" their beloved 12 1/2 year old black lab who passed away in May of 2011. They contacted family and friends to sponsor them in the run and with their help, Jen and Greg presented the ARL with donations totaling $1,458.60.

We sincerely thank Jen and Greg, and their family and friends, in this loving tribute to a very special dog named "Jack".

We extend a big thank you to the Windham Walmart for including the ARL in their Grand Re-Opening.

Along with the many scheduled events, the Windham Walmart and Pepsi did a donation drive for the ARL.

Pepsi delivered the donations. As you can see our storage room was quite full when they left!

Thank you to Windham Walmart and their generous customers!

Whole Foods Goodwill From the Grill event May 28th was a huge success! From the employees working the grill or running supplies from the store, to the community support we received, we couldn’t be more thrilled! Not only did we adopt out three kittens to loving homes, we raised an amazing $2,124.28!! Thank you Whole Foods for yet again, demonstrating your commitment to our community and the animals who live here. Your generosity allowed our devoted supporters to come together, enjoy fantastic food and raise money to help animals!
The ARL has a new laundry center!

That may not sound like a big deal to some, but when you're doing over 250 pounds of laundry per day...it's a BIG deal.

On behalf of all our staff, volunteers, and especially the animals, we give these businesses our most heartfelt appreciation for this gift for the donated labor, materials and extreme patience given to us by:

Allied/Cook Construction
Favreau Electric
Titan Mechanical
Nelson & Small
Tandem Associates

All that glitters really is gold...and silver!

Maine Gold and Silver continues to collect unwanted gold and silver items to help homeless animals at the ARL. To date the ARL has received over $12,000 from this program.

A huge thank you to Maine Gold & Silver and to each and every one of you who donated unwanted jewelry. Maine Gold & Silver is continuing this promotion, so please continue doing your spring cleaning and bring your unwanted jewelry to Maine Gold & Silver.

The staff and animals of the ARL would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Disability RMS and their employees. They showed their love of animals during the month of March by having bake sales, collecting bottles for the ARL CLYNK account and of course putting together the Taste of Westbrook!

All the hard work of the folks at Disability RMS, the generosity of Westbrook restaurant owners, along with the support of the community paid off in a big way ~ over $2,700 was raised to help the animals!

Thank you Disability RMS - You're a wonderful example of the power of community spirit!

On behalf of the ARL staff and animals, thank you to Robert Kennedy, Blackstones and your customers for your generosity.

Portland Dental Health cleaned....and cleaned....and cleaned, for an entire day at the shelter. They donated over $500 in dog toys; landscaped the ARL grounds, and sent a plumber to help us do some much needed work at the shelter. In preparation for our 100th Anniversary, they also sifted through and categorized ARL historical documents.
