Midcoast Humane is an Animal Welfare organization. However, there is a significant connection between animal welfare and human/owner needs and we want to be actively helping the humans find necessary community supports through case management services and connections to community resources related to housing and food insecurity and physical and mental heath. This, in turn helps animals stay with owners and keeps the humans from "falling through the cracks" in finding needed social services.
