First Choice Animal Care and Surgery Center in Windham hosted an animal care appreciation event on Saturday, celebrating their animal care workers, pet owners and community members. The event hosted local vendors and had food trucks, games, dog training activities and pet related raffles. For First Choice Animal Care, it was an opportunity to bring a community of animal lovers together for a day of celebration. They realized that like-minded people were passing through the office each day without meeting. “I’m excited to see all our patients together just because we come in and out of the office, we see one at a time and it’s a great community to be a part of," said event organizer Courtney Brown. All of the money raised from the event went to the Maine Lost Dog Recovery, a group that helps Mainers locate their lost pets.
