The Animal Welfare Society in West Kennebunk hosted the Georgia animal rescue group, “Road Trip Home” Thursday evening at the shelter on Holland Road.
The “Road Trip Home Reunion” reunited more than 150 dogs and their families with the volunteers from Georgia who saved the dogs and helped to transport them from high-kill shelters in Georgia to Maine for adoption through AWS.
