Paws From Afar

Dog rescue in Kennebunk, ME

We are a 501 (c)3 foster-based non-profit community of volunteers dedicated to finding forever homes for animals in need of adoption. Overcrowded animal shelters in the south and LA euthanize almost 70 percent of their animals due to lack of space or funds, and that is where we step in...We want to bring joy and tail wags to everyone we work with.
