We’re counting down the days to Dash for Dogs - coming up on Sunday, April 27th - and we couldn’t do it without our incredible sponsors!
A huge thank you to our Leader of the Pack Sponsor, Furniture Superstore, a family-owned business proudly serving Maine for over 60 years. With locations in Lisbon and South Portland, they’re known not only for their quality craftsmanship and diverse product line, but also for their commitment to customer service and community. Furniture Superstore is dedicated to supporting animal welfare initiatives by partnering with local shelters and rescues to provide resources, funding, and awareness that promote adoption and responsible pet ownership. We’re honored to have them by our side once again!
This year’s Top Dog Sponsors also deserve a big round of ap-paws:
Lamey Wellehan Shoes has been Maine’s family shoe store since 1914! With six stores and a 75,000-pair inventory, they offer quality footwear for the whole family. Their associates are happy to professionally measure your feet and help you find the perfect fit. Their continued support of Dash for Dogs over the years is something to celebrate!
When they’re not hiding from ghosts and ghouls, the fun-loving gang at Shaggy's Baggy is hard at work bringing you premium cannabis products at—“like”—really reasonable prices in a thoughtful, caring, and playful environment. We’re thrilled to have Shaggy’s Baggy as a supporter in our mission to raise awareness and find loving homes for dogs in need. Not only are they great champions for our pups, they’ve become a treasured business friend in our community.
Since 1997, Support Solutions, Inc has been providing services to adults with intellectual and mental health challenges through residential housing and day programs. Their mission is to help the people they support lead meaningful, self-directed lives—and their work has often included partnerships with GAHS, highlighting the powerful role pets play in enriching our communities.
Tito's Handmade Vodka has been committed to helping pets and their people since day one, inspired by the stray dogs found around their distillery. Through their Vodka for Dog People program, Tito’s supports animal-focused nonprofits nationwide, with a focus on low-cost spay/neuter services, accessible vet care, and adoption support. We’re grateful for their partnership in making Dash for Dogs such a fun and impactful event.
