❤ Beautiful Tully ❤

Of all the animals we work with, perhaps the species that surprises our visitors the most to meet are the turkeys. Time and time again, these lovely birds win people over with their charming and unique personalities and their social nature. If you've ever been lucky enough to have a turkey talk to you or show off for you with a dance, you're lucky indeed!

Don't believe us? Stop by our Little River Farm shelter location during our open hours to meet this beautiful bird and see for yourself why we believe turkeys (and all animals) are friends, not food!

Little Sir fluffy butt here, a six year old corgi who came in recently and is all ready for adoption, wants to shine a light on all of his adoptable friends!
https://peaceridgesanctuary.org/adopt/dogs-for-adoption/

He also wants to ask if we could get some nylabones, benebones and toys like those pictured in comment thread to help keep everyone busy while they wait for their chance at a home!

We've got 80 dogs to keep busy at our facilities every day. They need enrichment items replaced monthly (really weekly, but we do try to keep from asking for too much, too frequently).

Could anyone send an item or two?

Heidi is another wonderful, easy dog who has been with us for over two years.

We thought Maine was Labrador country, but still she sits waiting.

She is a 4.5 year old lab mix. She is pretty good with other dogs, as long as they don’t try to be bossy with her. She is healthy, utd, and has basic obedience. She is a typical silly lab, and can be like a bull in a china shop with her clumsy ways, but she has wonderful intentions in every way!

Heidi LOVES kids. Nice kids are her absolute most favorite thing in the world, besides food, a cozy bed and playing. She sees a sweet kiddo and she immediately lights up. ♥️

She was good with confident cats in her exposures. Spooky cats who run- she will follow. Very workable though.

Please help us find this funny girl a home of her own.

Please read our contract before contacting us with your inquiry and/or application.

This little 12 pound cutie is Fisher. He's an 11 year old mix who is super social, super good mannered, likes other dogs and just needs a happy ending.

He was lucky to find this temporary soft landing with us, but he is used to having his own person.

He, like thousands of other dogs, was dumped at a shelter when his person passed. The family did not extend help to him during that sad time. Off to the shelter he went. An inundated, overcrowded, euthanized the same day kind of place. Because that's the country we live in right now.

Luckily, he is healthy and content enough for now. We will keep him here until he finds what needs to be his last and forever home.

Fisher is an easy boy. Someone will be very lucky to adopt him.

This beautiful girl is Macy. She's been with us for three years. She is a healthy, vivacious, well-mannered, 5ish year old happy-dog.

She is fun and has wonderful obedience skills. She has an independent spirit, but she knows how to connect deeply, and once she knows you love her, she gives the sweetest little kissies.

We know there are more dogs than adopters right now in this current environment. But it's so sad that dogs like her just sit here waiting, especially when they can fit into almost any environment.

She would pair up potentially well with a playful male dog. Or would be fine as the only dog. She can also do kitties, although she'd need some direction around them at first.

This is a great girl. She wants to snuggle up in your bed and finally be at home. Please help us find Macy the home she's never had.

Rachel came to PRS earlier this year (along with her donkey friend, Freedom) when a local, elderly woman with serious health issues sent us a plea for help, worried that her family was going to ship her donkeys to slaughter when she died. We have received many calls like this over the years.

Sadly, we often receive calls from the other side too, with family members and friends saying that their loved one passed and left their animals to them, but they either don't want them, or can't take care of them. Animals often end up in bad situations when their people don't make a plan and assume someone will step up.

As their guardians, we owe it to our animals to make sure we have plans in place to make sure they will be safe if we can't care for them. Do you know what would happen to your animals if something happens to you? Need advice? Reach out to us. ❤️

A quick ride up part of the driveway at our main shelter in Brooks starts to give you a sense of how big, and how special, this property for animals is. 🐂🐄🫏🐖🐏🦙🐐🐕🐓🦃🐇🦆

Peace Ridge isn't just an animal shelter. It's a legacy for animals in New England. Please help us to keep it going for the future.

Want to take a peek in the barns and meet some of the 500+ rescued animals that call this place home? Want to see how to help? You can come see the magic yourself at one of our Open Houses. Our next one is scheduled for Sunday, August 10–join us!

Our Story

Peace Ridge Sanctuary was founded in 2001 and is located on over 1,000 acres in the rolling hills of midcoast Maine. While our primary focus is on farmed animal rescue and rehabilitation, we also have an equine rescue program, a senior dog rescue program, and we maintain the majority of our acreage as wildlife conservation land. At any given time, PRS is home to over 300 rescued animals. We also promote compassionate lifestyle choices through our comprehensive humane education program.
