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.
