If Nina looks familiar, it’s because she’s been with us and waiting for her new home since ‼ March of 2023 ‼ At just four years old, that’s a significant chapter of her life—and it’s time for this sweet girl to finally find her happy ending. ✨ About Nina: Nina is a stunning Akita with a heart as big as her personality. She dreams of a home with a spacious yard where she can stretch her legs, explore her surroundings, and soak up the sunshine. She is happiest when she’s outside, going for walks and discovering new scents, but she also has a soft side, and will happily snuggle up to her people after a day of adventure. True to her Akita nature, Nina is a loyal, independent companion who loves deeply. She’s looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can be the star of the show as your one and only pet. If you’re searching for a devoted, affectionate best friend who will join you in outdoor adventures and cherish quiet moments together, Nina might be your perfect match. We think it’s finally time for Nina to find her new family. Will you help us find her new family by sharing this post? ❤ Let’s get Nina the loving home she deserves! ❤

On October 24th, Midcoast Humane welcomed several animals from the state of Maine’s Animal Welfare Program. These dogs arrived in poor condition—many were underweight, heavily matted, and covered in f***s. Thanks to the incredible efforts of our team, we’re thrilled to announce that ten of these dogs—Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu mixes—will be ready for adoption when the doors of our Brunswick Shelter open tomorrow! These special dogs have endured a tough start in life, and as a result, many are shy or anxious. They will require patient, understanding adopters who can help them build confidence and discover the joys of being a dog. Homes with other dogs are ideal, as canine companionship can provide comfort and guidance. Adjusting to a home setting will take time; these dogs may need extra time to decompress and support with housetraining. With love and patience, they will blossom into the most wonderful companions. If you are interested in giving one of these amazing dogs the fresh start they deserve, you can find more information, including their ages, genders, and adoption fees on our website.

Update: Bean was adopted!

Meet Bean, a lovable nine-month-old pup with a heart full of joy! Bean is the last of eight dogs we welcomed from Diamonds In The Ruff - South GA in Soperton, Georgia, a region hit hard by Hurricane Helene. While the Soperton community heals and rebuilds, we're honored to provide refuge for these resilient dogs here in Maine. Seven have found their new homes—only sweet Bean is still waiting, and we can't figure out why!

Bean is a playful, affectionate companion who adores people, gets along well with other dogs, and is always ready for a game of chase or a cozy cuddle. If you’re ready to add this bundle of love to your family, come meet Bean at our Brunswick Campus today. He deserves a home as warm and welcoming as his own big heart!

PUPdate: Three of these puppies are still available for adoption as of Sunday morning!

Can you say HOUNDsome? We have four Treeing Walker Coonhound pups available for adoption at our Brunswick Campus today. These four-month-old pups are playful, curious, energetic sweethearts who will make a great addition to the right home. Due to their previous environment, they will need adopters who are ready to offer plenty of patience and gentle guidance as they adjust to their new way of life, but once they become comfortable with you, you will have lifelong companion and devoted friend. Stop by our Brunswick Campus to meet them today!

Are you looking for a furry friend to bring some excitement into your life? Meet Copper! This lively 2-year-old pup is ready to bring fun and adventure into your home.

Copper’s boundless enthusiasm for life makes him the perfect companion for an active household. He’s happiest chasing after balls, exploring new trails, and diving into playtime with his whole heart. Copper’s joyful spirit is contagious, but he does get excited easily, so he’d do best in a home with older children who can help guide his energy in positive ways. He’s been working hard on his leash manners, and his progress with positive reinforcement training shows how eager he is to learn and please.

While Copper hasn’t lived with other animals before, he’s had some promising interactions with other dogs here at Midcoast Humane. With careful introductions, he may adapt well to a multi-pet household.

If you’re ready for a companion who will fill your days with laughter, joy, and adventure, come meet Copper at our Brunswick Campus! He’s waiting for the perfect match—could it be you?

⭐️ These animals have waived adoption fees for today only ⭐️ Included in this group are several senior cats who would love to find a loving home for their remaining years. Stop by our Brunswick Campus between 11am and 3pm today to meet them ❤️🐾

Meet Tilly! Tilly is an exceptionally beautiful four-year-old cat who has been overlooked at the shelter for quite some time despite being incredibly sweet, as you can see here. She was found living outside with other cats, but after being doted on at the shelter, she has decided she loves the indoor life. She will make a wonderful companion, and will offer you all the love and cuddles you could ever want. All she asks in return is for some gentle pets, some toys to play with, soft blankets and a sunny spot to lie in. If you'd like to meet this beautiful lady, please stop by our Brunswick Campus during our open hours! #rescuecats #rescuecatsofinstagram #adoptacat #midcoasthumane #catlovers #cats

Meet three-year-old, adoptable pup, Hannah! This girl is a fun-loving, enthusiastic gal with a whole lot of “shepherd energy” and the personality to match! It may take a bit of time for Hannah to trust you, but once she does, prepare to have a ton of fun with her while she plays fetch, zooms around the yard, and relaxes next to her people. Her ideal adopter will have experience with shepherds and will be happy to continue positive reinforcement training to help keep Hannah’s brain active and make sure she knows what is expected of her. If you think you could be Hannah’s person, fill out an application on our website! Thanks to our amazing volunteer @hopeprentice for the photos! #shepherd #rescueshepherd #rescuedog #adoptarescue #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #mainedogs #midcoasthumane #edgecomb
