Do you like to take long walks with a dog? Do you like a purring cat on yor lap? Do you have many furry friends? Then you probably already know about the Lakes Region Humane Society where abused, unwanted and lost pets find a home forever until someone decides to adopt. You have probably visited it at 45 Winner's Circle Farm in Tuftenboro.

You probably know Patches, Nick and Muse, great looking cats who live there temporarily. And Lad, a collie shepherd who has been at the shelter for three years waiting for a family to take him home. You might have used its website and outreach programs. You might have become a member, donated money or even knitted a snuggle for a shelter animal. If not there is still time. The dogs will leap for joy! The cats will say meow!
