MISSION STATEMENT:
The Maine Federation of Humane Societies
is a statewide network of companion animal welfare
organizations
working to support animal shelters, to promote the
adoption of homeless animals
and responsible pet ownership, and to end pet overpopulation
through education, outreach, and advocacy.
We are companion
animal welfare advocates from Calais to Caribou,
Kittery to Ft. Kent,
and Wells to Waterville - the Maine Federation of Humane Societies
serves the entire State of Maine.
Founded in 1953
and incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1980,
we are Humane Society Executive Directors, Animal Welfare Facility
Managers,
Shelter Board Members and private citizens.
We represent
companion animal welfare organizations, humane societies,
animal welfare and rescue leagues, animal shelters,
and private breed rescue organizations.
