SOMERSET PET WELFARE ALLIANCE

Our mission is to reduce pet overpopulation in Somerset County, Maine by providing financial assistance to help local residents spay and neuter their cats and dogs. We believe every pet deserves a healthy, safe life, and every pet owner deserves access to affordable veterinary care--regardless of income. By focusing on prevention through spay/neuter funding, we aim to keep more animals out of shelters and improve the welfare of pets in our rural communities.
