Why adopt a shelter pet?

Animals arrive at Midcoast Humane with a variety
of unfortunate backstories. The one thing they 
have in common is they are eager to be a loving 
addition to your home.

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.
