DOGUST Initiative

Town & Country announces partnership with Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland with DOGUST initiative

Though the calendar may say, “August,” Town & Country Federal Credit Union has partnered with the Animal Refuge of Greater Portland for the second consecutive year to designate the month as DOGUST. During the month, the credit union will highlight different dogs up for adoption at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, and make a contribution to support ARLGP each week, as well.

To really reinforce the designation of August as DOGUST, the credit union will also be giving away Sea DOGS tickets all month long through various social media contests, and highlighting the ARLGP in each post.

For information about DOGUST, visit Town & Country’s Facebook page. To learn more about the Pet Loan, visit www.tcfcu.com
