Creating Paw-sitive Bonds & Forever Homes 

At the Animal Orphanage, we’re passionate about giving animals a second chance at a happy, healthy life.

 

From rescue to adoption, we help thousands of lost or abandoned animals in our community find food, care, and a loving forever home.

 

We’re dedicated to reuniting pets with their owners or helping them find new families, ensuring both animals and people experience the joy of unconditional love.

Our Mission

We are a no-kill animal shelter admitting stray cats and dogs through police or animal control. Located in Old Town, Maine.

Three Ways You Can Help Change a Life

Whether you open your heart and home to an animal in need, support us with a donation, or foster a pet temporarily, every action makes a difference. Your involvement saves lives and helps us build a community where every animal is cared for and loved.
