WESTBROOK Visits by furry friends from a Westbrook Street animal shelter have impressed residents of a Scarborough assisted living center enough that they are holding a month-long supply drive for the shelter.

Residents of Scarborough Terrace also visited the renovated Animal Refuge League shelter Friday, Feb. 3.

The residents are collecting food, beds, bedding, towels, brushes, toys and other items for animals at the Westbrook shelter. The supply drive will last the entire month of February. Anyone wishing to donate can bring supplies to the lobby at 600 Commerce Drive in Scarborough.
