Big Stretch Maine

*✌️Part two, because I'm still learning the ways of Insta.

If anyone is interested in supporting Conway Area Humane Society and Big Stretch Maine - you can reach out directly to the shelter to donate your time 🕓, supplies 🧼, or your hard-earned dollars. 💶

💸💸Want to double your impact? We're here to debut our charcoal Big Stretch Maine tees 👕, and we always donation match a portion of the profits 💯% and send them right to the shelter. Youre also always welcome to send donations directly to our Venmo page if you like the shelter more than my merch (its fine i wont judge).

🗓 Through the end of today - all these donations go to CAHS - so if you're on the fence, donate now! ⚠️⚠️

Thanks again to everyone for making this an amazing pioneer adventure and I cant wait to see you all next year! (If im invited).

Hi Friends! 🐾

🌞 I had the time of my life fighting dehydration 💦 with you and your pups today!

The first 🏃‍♀️ was an absolute success! So many dogs got an EXCELLENT walk/run this morning, then finish off with some pool swims 🏊‍♀️, toys 🦴, and brews 🍻 for the humans.

HUGE thank you to all of you and to Conway Area Humane Society for letting me be a part of what's about to be legendary in the coming years. Even though I was so bummed about my knee injury 🦵 keeping me from running, honestly? The universe spoke to me here. 🌌

Can't wait til next year! (Will absolutely bring a mist hose for the tent, and a pup for some good ol smoochins.)

Can someone make an adventure tomorrow morning? Scenic trip, kitty company?

🚨 Transport Help Needed! 🚨

We were asked to help a cat who was attacked by a dog in her home. Thankfully, she is going to be okay, but she needs our help getting to her next stop for continued care.

We are looking for someone who can transport her tomorrow from the emergency hospital in Lewiston to Blake Veterinary Hospital in Northport.

📍 Route: Lewiston → Northport
🕙 Time: Anytime between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM

If you can help with this transport, please send us a message as soon as possible. Sharing this post is also greatly appreciated!

Thank you for helping us help animals in need. ❤️🐾

Hey Friends! 🐾

Just a little reminder for the day. While Jerry absolutely hates the rain (and his rain coat), he is MORE than happy to indulge in puddle jumping with the little one.

Having a feral outdoor kid is the best. No screens, video games, only the few minutes I took to take a few precious videos of the magic of childhood.

Remember to jump in the puddles today. Before you know it, this magic will grow up and be gone...
