The mission of the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals is to prevent cruelty to animals in Maine and elsewhere. The Society uses its resources to provide direct care to animals who have suffered abuse. The Society promotes humane treatment, training and use of animals through education and hands-on experiences. It collaborates with other animal serving agencies to maximize the resources of all. (To report suspected animal abuse or neglect, please call MSSPA at 207-892-3040, or your local Animal Control Officer.)
