We loved our adoption process for Jaxie. Garrett chose the perfect dog for our lifestyle. The facility is clean and organized. We were given a crate, a bag of toys and food, a certificate for $70 of food from The Fish & Bone, and a free vet visit. She had been spayed, microchiped, and given flea and heartworm medicine. We love Jaxie so much and are giving her a life of travel and adventure.

Great staff, very knowledgeable. We weren't rushed, and allowed to spend time with our new bunny named Mango.

Everyone here has been friendly and helpful. They are so amazing and care so much for furry friends. I found a beautiful German shepherd running scared in the cold by the jet port in Jan. I picked her up and brought her in. 2 hours later they were able to reunite her with her humans. I have also brought animal donations here. Please support them! The do great work!

The staff at this shelter are incredible. I have been here dozens of times over the years (2020 obviously excluded), and it's such a treat. I adopted my sweet boy Cosmo (previously Ranger) a few years back. They do amazing work.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Has Annie, a Great Pyrenees mix, been adopted yet? She made her trip to Maine from Mississippi on Dec. 6th and probably got there on Dec. 8th. I rescued her and adored her. I know you are busy but I would appreciate hearing about her. Thank you!

I recently included a letter in her packet to the eventual foster/adopter of Annie, a beautiful and sweet Great Pyrenees mix from Mississippi (Webster Shelter in Madison). Do your policies allow you to share that letter with the foster/adopter?

Wish I could get an answer to this question.

Hello, I would just like to reach out to ask if you currently do volunteering. Is there any age requirements or fill out sheets? Do you do volunteering? I was thinking about basing my career off of animals, so hopefully I could help. Thanks!

It depends. Some are one-year, some are three-year. It is best to check with the vet clinic who administered it. If you received it from us, feel free to give us a call at (207)854-9771.

Do you euthanize?

Lescelidge Zionter | Aug 20, 2018
Clara Jacobs | Aug 20, 2018

From their website: Euthanasia is performed when it is the only alternative to end an animal’s suffering due to terminal illness, severe injury, mental deterioration, or when the animal poses a safety concern for other animals or humans. Indefinite confinement of living in a shelter environment is also not an acceptable alternative. Hospice and foster homes allow us to continue our life saving efforts and maintain our 99% live release rate. Euthanasia is never considered unless reasonable medical alternatives or behavioral modifications have been exhausted. The ARLGP is proud to partner with local veterinarians, certified trainers and animal behaviorists, along with surgical specialists to make this very important decision in the best interest of our animals, our organization and our community.
