Items donated by area businesses are the prizes in a raffle set up by local animal advocate Lawrence Pitcher. Proceeds will benefit local animals shelters.

Prizes include gift certificates to Good ’N You Mobile station, Tugboat Inn, Enchantments and a fishing rod from Grover’s Hardware. The raffle tickets are being sold at Nathan’s Pharmacy in the Meadow Mall, Boothbay Harbor.

Pitcher wished to thank Nathan’s for their continued support of helping area animal shelters and hospitals. He also said people have been supportive by donating items to the bin outside Nathan’s. He wished to remind summer residents to consider donating any leftover pet items to the bin. Currently, the shelters are in need of blankets, dry kitten food, cat food, towels for cleaning and cat litter.
