ACAR has been operating as a No-Kill "Wall-less" Rescue for over 7 years.Using only foster homes and unceasing hard work by our volunteers and board members, we rescue and place more animals than we did as a physical shelter, while the animals are cared for in homes instead of in cages. We are proud to have continued serving our area for 30 years. Despite our efforts, the homeless animal situation has only marginally improved - the only effective solution is spaying and neutering pets. We can't build enough no-kill shelters to house them all, any more than you can stop a leaky roof by putting out more pails. The sad fact is that there are more cats and dogs than there are loving homes. We urge you to support organizations like ACAR which actively spay and neuter companion animals

Camp Lone Star Rescue was started by a small group of volunteers who are committed to rescuing Cairn Terriers and high Cairn-mixes. Most of our rescues come from kill shelters, owner surrenders, backyard breeders and puppymills in the Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana-Arkansas region. The Cairns we rescue are first quarantined, brought up-to-date on medical treatment (including shots, neutering, and heartworm preventative) and then placed in foster homes. The foster homes then evaluate their behavior for placement into adoptive homes.

Greater Androscoggin Humane Society original mission was to protect work horses and children from abuse. Volunteers carried on this mission until 1912 when they first decided to create a “home” for stray animals. Sadly, there was not enough money to buy the land needed for the Shelter so they continued to function primarily as an advocate for animal rights and welfare.

We at NBR, believe that a Boxer is just about the perfect friend. However, he or she will demand a lot from you. They'll rely on you for nearly everything; food, water, shelter, protection, training, exercise, grooming, veterinary care, and of course love and companionship. While it is important to choose the right Boxer for your needs, it is equally important to ensure that you can meet theirs. You must prepare for their arrival, and make them a well-mannered and welcome member of your community. The responsibilities of being a guardian of any dog are great, but the love and friendship you'll receive in return is priceless.

Three Rivers Redemption and Feed will pass through to P.A.W.S. any "bottle and can" money that you may wish to donate. Money donated at Milo Farmer's Union or Three Rivers Redemption are spent for food, litter and other supplies at the store where the donations originated because it is simply the right thing to do. Municipalities also provide monies for the shelter and/or for animals from the municipalities.
