𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆! Did you know that we have a resident Goldendoodle here at AWS? Bowie, who works alongside his mom in our Youth Programs, is a friendly, fun, and outgoing guy who takes his job very seriously. He listens to stories during Rescue Readers, entertains children during Furry Tales, and educates students during Muttigrees... all with a wagging tail! And recently, Bowie has been put in charge of leading a parade!
Join us this Saturday, May 4 on Water Street in downtown Kennebunk for their annual May Day parade! Bowie, who will be walking next to his mom Miss Amanda, will be sporting a bowtie and encouraging children and their families to march with AWS! Participating kids will receive a sticker and a new cloth backpack. Lineup starts at 12:30 pm, and the parade kicks off at 1:30pm. Bowie hopes to see you there!

National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day was created to bring awareness to the millions of pets nationwide who are waiting for their happy homes. Here at AWS, we have so many wet noses, wagging tails, and twitching whiskers who are patiently waiting for their perfect people, and today seems like the perfect day to make their dreams come true! Help us celebrate and change the lives of our pets forever by adopting today, tomorrow, or sometime soon! 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!
