Are you a fan of martingale style dog collars? If so, you'll want to check out our new collection of martingales. Classic, flowery, whimsical, nautical, urban...you name it, Scalawags has it. Made in New England, our new martingales come in sizes S-XL and have coordinating leashes in assorted styles.

New Martingale Collar Designs

Martingale dog collars are a more humane design for a choke style collar. Originally popular with sighthounds such as greyhounds and whippets, martingales are constructed of two loops. The larger loop goes around the neck and constricts evenly and gently when the smaller loop is pulled. This allows for more control and prevents the dog from slipping out of the collar.

To order, visit our Collars & Leashes department now and pick your favorite! We also stock several designs in our Kennebunkport shop and have swatches on hand for all of the designs.

The Animal Welfare Society (AWS) of West Kennebunk is hosting its first annual art auction to benefit the shelter. Art lovers and animal lovers won't want to miss this event.

The auction has been generously underwritten by anonymous donors as well as area businesses including food donations by the Village Food Market in Ogunquit and food preparation by the White Barn Inn. Entertainment will be provided by Jara Goodrich of the Portland Symphony Orchestra and Howard Koeppel will be the auctioneer.

Local and national artists have donated over 65 pieces of artwork for the auction so there surely will be something for everyone. It is a great opportunity to purchase a new piece of artwork and help animals in need!

Please plan ahead as tickets will go fast. Stop by the Scalawags or call us at 207.967.2775 to reserve yours!
