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.

She stood in the corner of her cage, watching as the door to the kennel opened, and leaped with excitement when a young family approached her gently. She rocked and rolled, jumping up and down, eager to show them what a friendly and happy girl she was. “Oh”, they said, “she’s way too much dog […]
