medicine, surgeries, food and

We need your support.
Every year, Midcoast Humane provides nearly 3,500 animals with essential care. Each animal receives, at a minimum, vaccinations and exams, medicine, spay/neuter procedures, healthy food, enrichment and love while they’re with us. Many more need additional life-saving procedures by our veterinary staff. Your support lets us provide these deserving creatures with everything they need to start a new life.
