If a Lewiston resident has a complaint to report, such as a barking dog, or to report an injured animal, please call the Lewiston Police Department dispatcher at 207-513-3139, ext. 3324.

Support
You can also help those who are working to stop animal cruelty by supporting your local animal rescue organization or shelter. You can donate money and supplies, or, better yet, your time. Volunteer at a local humane society, foster a shelter animal, or adopt a companion animal. Promoting and practicing responsible pet ownership is another way to stop many abuses from starting.
