LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A Maine animal shelter is looking for homes for dozens of dogs that just arrived from South Carolina.
The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society is helping out a rescue shelter down south that needed to relocate all of its dogs immediately. Nearly forty dogs arrived in Lewiston early Sunday morning. A few of them went to other Maine shelters, but most them stayed in Lewiston. Soon they will be ready to find permanent homes. Greater Androscoggin Humane Society Operations Manager Zach Black says Maine shelters are lucky to have the space to extra dogs in.

"We don't see a huge dog over-population problem," Black said. "Our spay and neuter has been so great that we don't see a lot of dogs come into our shelters and we have a lot of empty kennels, so we're able to help out those shelters that, the spay/neuter is just not there yet."
The re-located dogs will be available for adoption at 11 a.m.Wednesday. For more information on adoption, visit the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society's website.
