We are actively involved in various community programs. If you see a program that is dear to your heart and would like to volunteer or if you have an idea for a new program or fundraiser, please contact the shelter at 207 236 8702 or e-mail us.
A few programs we are currently involved with are:
Pat-A-Pet. A group of volunteers takes selected animals to Quarry Hill, a retirement community, so residents can snuggle with a furry friend. The Cold Noses/Warm Hearts program is a group of young volunteers from Youthlinks who take pets to visit seniors in area nursing homes.
School Outreach Our outreach programs help young people learn the responsibilities of pet ownership and the care animals require.
YMCA We participate in programs to educate families of pet ownership and care.
Senior Program For those seniors looking for a feline friend, we will give you a cat free of charge. All we ask in return is that you give these special cats a warm, loving, permanent home.
Foster Program We are looking for people interested in fostering our kittens, puppies, and occassionally special needs dogs. Periodically the shelter takes in more kittens than we can handle. During these times we need assistance with caring for these little furballs.
Pet Care Badges Organizations such as Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and others can earn their Pet Care Badge by learning how to care for animals.
