🐾 Where Love Lives:
The Animal Orphanage 🐾
In 1990, a group of compassionate residents from Old Town and Orono turned their concern for homeless animals into action, founding The Animal Orphanage. Since then, our shelter has been a safe haven for thousands of stray, abandoned, and homeless animals, offering them love, care, and a second chance at life.
As a 501(c)(3) no-kill, non-profit animal shelter, we proudly open our doors to animals of all kinds, including:
-
🐶 Dogs
-
🐱 Cats
-
🐰 Bunnies
-
🐹 Guinea pigs, hamsters, and rats
-
🐦 Birds
-
🐠 Fish
…and any other creature in need of care and compassion.
Each animal receives more than just shelter; they are met with:
-
🏠 A warm, safe environment to heal
-
🩺 Vital medical treatment to restore health
-
🍖 Nutritious meals to thrive
-
💕 Unconditional love and care
-
What began as a volunteer-driven effort has flourished into a thriving organization, now supported by:
-
👩⚕️ 8 dedicated staff members
-
🤝 Countless volunteers who selflessly share their time and energy
-
🏛️ 8 committed Board of Directors steering our vision
-
💡 A dynamic fundraising committee fueling our mission
-
🏠 A network of foster families offering temporary homes and healing
