Are you looking for a Maine puppy adoption? You have several options to find the puppy of your dreams depending on where you live in the State of Maine. The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARL) at www.arlgp.org is located in the city of Portland. ARL is a non-profit organization established in 1928 that today has a shelter that provides temporary homes for approximately 4,000 animals each year. To begin a Maine puppy adoption you can visit the facility in person or you can look at the available puppies they have by visiting their online web page.

Another non-profit Maine puppy adoption organization is Almost Home Rescue at www.almosthomerescue.net. They are a small, volunteer run organization that does not have a physical shelter but rather a network of Foster Homes that temporarily houses their canines until a permanent adoptee can be found. Their list of Maine puppy adoption pets are listed on their Petfinder page that is accessible via their web site.
