LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society will begin offering “Puppy 101” classes for those who just got a new puppy or are considering adding to their family in the near future.

The first Sunday of each month, puppy owners can spend an hour with Marie Gagnon from the Lazy L Kennel and find the answers to some of those common puppy questions and worries.

Topics she will cover include house training, crate training, keeping possessions safe from the puppy and the puppy safe from possessions, puppy biting and manners. The presentation is geared toward owners and potential owners of young dogs.

The first class will be from 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 3, at the humane society. Attendees are asked to bring their questions but to leave Fido home. There is no charge for the class. More information is available by calling the shelter at 783-2311.

The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society provides a safe haven for over 5,500 sick, homeless and abused animals in the greater Androscoggin area per year. The primary support for the Shelter comes from fundraising events and donations of concerned citizens.

The humane society is located at 55 Strawberry Ave. If interested in learning more about volunteering at the shelter or adopting an animal, call 783-2311 or visit www.gahumane.org. Those wishing may also join them on www.facebook/GAHumane.
