Beach Bum now BeeBee
My parents lost their 14 year old cat, Seven, that we had adopted from AWS. They were devastated and vowed to never have another animal. Weeks went by and my Dad needed a few medical procedures leaving my mom more…
Pip and Lil Pip now Freddie and Bijou
Over my vacation, Dani and I went to the Animal Welfare Society to adopt a bonded pair of cats. They were named “Pip” and “Lil Pip” but we waited to rename them because we had waited for their personalities to…
Patriot now Luke
We adopted Luke from Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk on June 24th, 2013. Ever since that day, he has been a treasured member of our family, companion, and adventure partner. Even at 12 years old, he is still active and…
Diamond now Odie
Before adopting Odie — formerly Diamond — from Animal Welfare Society, my fiancé and I had two tuxedo cats at home, Wally and Bruin. The boys are both adopted from shelters in Maine and are 3-years-old. However, Bruin desperately wanted…
Oliver
I currently have two rescue pups that I have adopted. Oliver and Lance (aka Potcake). Lance came from a tough situation, and Ollie had been returned several times. For some reason I felt like he could help Lance, who would…
Ashby now Ash
Ashby is doing great. He made friends with my Boston right away.
Kodie
Just an update, Kodie has become quite the character and is very, very spoiled. He gives us funny looks when his dry food bowl isn’t filled to the very top. He wakes me up in the morning to let me…
Pink Starburst
We had a 14 year old cat named Bulma who passed away, leaving her 13 year old son named Trunks, all alone. He has never been a single kitty, so I wanted to get him a friend. So, we went…
Bruno

Heinz now Charlie
Charlie is very skittish, but he is getting better at being in his new home. He is coming out of his shell as far as exploring his surroundings. I adopted my female cat Josie almost 2 years ago from the…
Emmy now Lulu
I adopted a three month old kitten back in April and she was very shy and skittish when I first met her. Her sister was very affectionate. At first, I wasn’t going to choose her but once she got to…
Remy and Burton now Bruin and Burton
Remy (now Bruin) and Burton. They are the best of friends and bring so much joy to our home! We got Bruin as a tiny puppy and he is now 44 lbs big boy. Thank you AWS for our loving…
Garfield now O’Malley
I adopted O’Malley (well I think that’s what his name is going to be) aka Garfield two weeks ago. He’s doing quite well! He’s still very shy but is learning to be brave and explore his new home! He loves…
Moxie now Tiny
We adopted Tiny in October of 2020, and he has brought so much light into our lives. At first he was shy, and took a couple weeks to warm up to us as well as our dog Moose. After those…
Sadie
Sadie is doing amazing. She lives on a cow farm in northern Maine with her two best dog friends, Bandit and Hunter. She went to daycare for the first time the other day and did great with all the dogs,…
Dharma now Lola
Lola came into my life strolling through our hotel lobby in a crate on a luggage cart. I worked at the front desk at the time and I immediately fell in love. Turns out we had a veterinarian conference and…
