Keep in mind that even these unbelievably low adoption fees provide you with an animal that has had a thorough physical as well as medical care in addition to food, water, and loving attention from our devoted staff and volunteers.  Specifically, each animal has had all species-appropriate measures from the following list:

• Heartworm tested and given heartworm preventive
• Vaccinated for distemper/parvo and rabies
• Given a thorough physical exam, nail clipping, and ear cleaning
• Given flea treatments and de-worming medicine
• Spayed or neutered

To see some of our current residents, check out these sections of the website devoted to cats and dogs.  Each entry includes photos as well as key information on each pet, so you can get a good sense of each animal before you even step into the Shelter.

Drum roll please!! We are very excited to announce that Pints for Paws – ROCKLAND raised $2,265 for the Pope Memorial Humane Society of Knox County!! Thank you so much to every one who came to this fun event and made it our most successful one yet!! A HUGE thank you goes to Trackside Station for being our hosts – we will do it again in the fall!

And of course, the current residents at PMHSKC are especially grateful to everyone, too.  What a wonderful community we have to support us this way – and have fun doing it!

Every one of our residents thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity (just imagine all of them – cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and everyone else – all singing their thanks to YOU!).  You are truly amazing!!

Started in 2011 by Mimi Bornstein, founder and artistic director of Midcoast Community Chorus, MC3! is a non-auditioned chorus for children ages 7 to 12. “The children are so excited about creating a benefit concert for the Humane Society.  We brainstormed about who we would want to raise money for as a group, and the animal shelter was the unanimous winner.  Creating an event like this only strengthens the bond these children create as they to celebrate and support community through music and song.  Plus, having a concert with this theme has given us the fabulous opportunity learn a variety of songs about animals!”
