Midcoast Humane

About

Once existing as two individual animal shelters, we came together to be a bigger, better force for animals. Now, Midcoast Humane is one of the biggest shelters in the state of Maine, operating animal sheltering facilities in Brunswick and Edgecomb. We provide care and second chances to nearly 3,500 animals every year, and assist hundreds more through our programming. But we’re not just about the animals - Midcoast Humane is about the people, too. We dropped “Society” from our title, because we’re not a membership organization, and we are not exclusive. Animal companions are for everyone, and all can make a difference in the lives of animals. We hold municipal contracts with 40 towns along Maine’s Midcoast, but our adopters come from across the state and New England. Our administrative office is currently housed in Brunswick, Maine, in the “old Dexter Shoe” building. We also run a second-hand store in beautiful Boothbay Harbor, Creature Comforts Thrift Store, which helps support our life-saving work. Every animal that comes through our door receives excellent medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, care and comfort while they’re with us. We believe that every life is worth saving, and are proud of our 97% Live Release Rate.
