Whether you volunteer your time or open up your home to a foster pet, you support pets in our community.
Whether you make a gift or drop off food & supplies, you are part of our mission.
When you join us at community events or host an event on our behalf, you make a difference to all those we serve.
Thank you for your involvement and for joining us in our work.
Without the support of those around us, we would not be able to care for 20,000+ pets and people each and every year. So thank you! From our humble beginnings in 1967, when we cared for about 200 dogs each year, to today, with a bustling animal services program (including our Adoption Center and Lost & Found) and Community Veterinary Clinic, we are here for those who need us. With the resources we provide, whether it be animal admissions, Canine Training, youth programming or Stay@Home, we are proud to be your community animal resources. We are proud to call Southern Maine our home and be there for pets and their families. And we couldn’t do it with our amazing community. Thank you!
