Volunteers from the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland took part in a “Freedom Flight” with the nonprofit Wings of Rescue.
WESTBROOK, Maine — The Animal Rescue League of Greater Portland has more cats and dogs up for adoption, thanks to a life-saving effort over the weekend.
Last week, the ARLGP sent a handful of volunteers to Puerto Rico to help out with a “Freedom Flight” through the nonprofit Wings of Rescue. Together, they brought more than 300 cats and dogs to shelters in Maine and New York. Jeana Roth, the ARLGP’s director of community engagement, told NEWS CENTER Maine this was one of the largest shipments yet
“A lot of these pets have lived in shelters or sanctuaries for years,” Roth said. “To give them this new beginning in Maine is really awesome.”
