Freckles is the cutest, and most squeezable girl around, and she’s all about love and attention! This adorable sweetheart is absolutely to die for, and she knows it. She is a 2 year old bulldog mix. Freckles would love to be the only animal in the household so she can soak up all the love for herself. Because why share the spotlight when you’re this cute?
She is currently available for Foster to Adopt until her upcoming appointment. If you’re ready to meet this lovable girl, submit an application online and give us a call!

All of us here SHS want to say thank you so much to Rene and staff at R&B Home Source for the generous donation of a new washing machine and unbelievable timeliness of delivery within an hour of calling. With the amount of laundry we do here daily, it doesn't take long for it to pile up when the washer breaks! Lucky for us, we didn't run into a big pile up thanks to Rene's generosity! Much appreciated 😊

THANK YOU to everyone who dropped off food, delivered it, or had it shipped right to our door. This is incredible, and we cannot thank you enough! 💕

Adoption Event this weekend!
Adoption Event this weekend!

Somerset Humane Society is having an adoption event, and during this event all adoption fees will be waived.. (however donations are always welcomed) The shelter is full and over capacity, and we have waiting lists of pets that need our help. There are some people who ask why adoption fees are waived. “If someone can’t afford adoption fees, how can they afford to care for a pet?” is a common question we hear. Our experience has been that most people aren't participating in our Adoption Events because of the no-cost adoptions; rather, it's a community effort to find homes for animals. Having events like this reminds people that your local shelter has amazing and wonderful pets. And while adoption fees may be waived during this adoption event, our adoption policies and guidance are not. We meet with every potential adopter to get to know them and their lifestyle. This is to make sure we are making a strong match and setting everyone up for success. We believe people from all walks of life can love and care for pets, no matter what stage of their lives they’re in. Every animal should have the opportunity to have a family, and every family who wants to should get the chance to have a pet. Come visit us this weekend, August 22nd, 23rd and 24th, and let us help you find a new furry family member. Visit our website to fill out a pre adoption application, which will help speed up things if done prior to your visit. https://shsanimalshelter.com/somerset-humane-society-pet-adoption/

Looking for a new feline friend? Stop in today from 1-4 and play with our cats and kittens. We have many cats and kittens that get along very well with other felines, or if you looking for a single snug bug, we have those too! You can fill out a pre adoption application online, or here at the shelter. http://shsanimalshelter.com/somerset-humane-society-pet-adoption/adoptable-cats/

Just wanted to thank everyone who planned, donated to and attended the Luck of the Draw Fundraiser we had a couple weeks ago. It was great fun and we raised a total of $4185 thanks to all of you.

Doors are open!!! Come join us at 653 Waterville Rd in Skowhegan for the Luck of the Draw Fundraiser. Drawing begins at 1pm. Please Share!!

This dog was brought in by ACO from Fairfield on 4/19. If this is your dog, please call us at 474-6493. Please share!

Rocky AKA Oldboy
Rocky AKA Oldboy

Update!! Our big beautiful boy found his purrfect person. They both went home happy today ❤️❤️❤️ Looking for an extra large love bug? We have the purrfect boy for you!! At just over 18lbs Rocky aka Oldboy, is the true definition of a gentle giant. His daily mission is to show you as much love as you can handle. He is the purrfect weekend, movie binging, shut your phone off and snuggle up with a comfy blanket cat. Working late? He will be right there and ready to snuggle in bed when you get home. His ideal home would be with you, and just you. He can coexist with another respectful cat, but after being abandoned at least once, and surrendered back to the shelter due to not wanting to live with their new fur friend, he is looking for the security of a furever home. If interested please fillout a pre adoption application, or stop in durring our walk in adoption hours, to meet our handsome baby.

Are you looking for a country music loving hound? We have the perfect one. I would like you to meet our boy Boon! He is friendly, smart, goofy, and loves music. What more could you ask for in a dog? If you would like to meet this fun loving, ladys man of a dog, please fill out a pre adoption application, or stop by the shelter durring our open hours. He is anxious to get into his new home, and stretch his long legs. https://shsanimalshelter.com/somerset-humane-society-pet-adoption/adoptable-dogs/
