Potter league plans pet event

Potter League for Animals will be hosting a Pet Showcase on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the parking lot of BankNewport, 528 West Main Road in Middletown.

The Pet Showcase is free and will be fun for the whole family. Participants can enter their pets in the "best trick" or "pet look-alike" contest. The pet who out shines the rest will win a gift certificate to Aquidneck Pet Deli.

Light refreshments will be served. The Potter League hopes the event will raise community awareness of the services and opportunities offered by their organization.

The Potter League for Animals is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of animals. To promote the humane treatment of all animals, the Potter League shelters and cares for lost or unwanted companion animals, returns them to their homes, and places them into humane environments. Through community education and the fostering of relationships between people and animals, the Potter League secures the future for animals. For more information, contact Patricia Heller at 846- 0592.
