About Us

The Husson Humane Society is an organization dedicated
to the care of domestic animals both at the shelter and their forever home.
We provide quality care for homeless pets as well as educational
and veterinary services for our local community of Bangor, Maine.

How does your organization work?

We work with Bangor Humane Society to pick out friendly animals that we think would do well in our program. We then bring those animals back to our shelter, where they can spend time with students. Students fill out a simple form to check an animal for a designated amount of time, with a maximum time of 4 hours. We have a playroom available for students as well as collars, leashes, and doggy bags. If a student wants to spend more time with an animal, they can apply to have them overnight or foster them long term in their dorm. We have more information on fostering below. All animals are available for adoption by Husson students or anyone else.
