Directory of Animal Shelters in Maine

Catahoula Rescue of New England is an all volunteer group whose mission is to advocate for homeless Catahoula Leopard dogs and Catahoula mixes, to place these animals in permanent, loving homes, and to promote responsible guardianship through humane education. They have saved and re-homed many Catahoulas and Catahoula mixes, and work diligently to save as many of these wonderful dogs as possible.

They are a national rescue that places Catahoula Leopard Dogs with people like you who can help change their lives forever. They need you. The dogs come from high kill shelters and they do their best to save them all, but because of overpopulation and backyard breeders, they will never be able to keep up. The good news is, they will never give up either.
