Bangor Humane Society was founded in 1869 making us the oldest Humane Society in the State of Maine. We are a donor supported, private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported almost entirely by donations from compassionate & concerned citizens in our community. We operate Maine's largest animal care and adoption facility, both in terms of the total number of animals handled and geographical area we serve. The Bangor Humane Society cares for approximately 5,000 owner released and stray animals each year. We serve over 200 communities in Maine, including eastern, coastal, down-east, and parts of northern Maine. After a major capital campaign that raised more than 2.5 million dollars, we moved into our present facility in 1997.

Although there has been a huge reduction in the number of unwanted and homeless pets that we care for each year compared to 15 years ago, there are still over 5,000 pets that need our love and care each year and we continue to face the challenge of raising over $525,000 every year to be able to provide a safe, happy and healthy haven for them. If you would like to make donation to ensure that we are able to keep caring for these pets, please mail your check to 693 Mt. Hope Avenue or visit our home page to donate online.
