PAWS Brave Hearts Animal rescue in Calais, ME

PAWS Brave Hearts is a volunteer run, no/kill animal care, adoption and education center for homeless companion animals. Most of the animals in our care come to us directly from first responders, including Animal Control, police officers or Good Samaritans who find an animal in need. Many cats come to us through our Trap/Neuter/Adopt/ Return (TNAR) program which includes the care and management of outdoor feral colonies. We also assist animals who are about to become homeless due to the loss of a beloved guardian or a hardship faced by families.

In addition to providing transitional care and adoption services, we work with local schools to educate young people about the plight of homeless animals and engage them in many of our organization's activities.

We do this work because we believe that all animals deserve respect and care, including loving, permanent homes.

Additional adoption info

PAWS Brave Hearts offers a user-friendly adoption process. We will email the adoption application to interested adopters. The application includes references from a 1) veterinarian (for experienced guardians), 2) a landlord (for renters) and 3) individuals who know you. When applications are complete and sent to us via email, they can be processed as quickly as we are able to speak with references.

Our process is designed to find permanent, loving homes for the animals in our care by assessing the adopter's lifestyle and preferences for a companion animal and then finding the match they are seeking! We offer the highly regarded ASPCA Meet Your Match assessment to adopters.

We frequently send photos and speak with adopters at length about animals who appear to be ideal companions before they travel to our location for a meet and greet. This process has proven to be very successful for both adopters and their new best friends!
