We have a free to a good home board for the towns that are contracted with our shelter. These animals do not cost any money and they do not get any of the extras that come with pets adopted from us. Each week a pet (or pets) will be listed in this section to help it find a home. The only way to find out more information on these animals is to call their contact number.

We are a little non-profit animal shelter in rural Maine. We are dedicated to finding these loving animals their forever homes. We also educate the importance of responsible pet ownership like spay/neutering, microchipping, tattooing, and licensing. Any cat or dog that is adopted from us gets a refuned when you get them fixed.
NOTE: Most of our animals are strays so we really cannot tell you about their likes, dislikes, and history. We can only tell you what we have discovered while the animal is at the shelter.
