Who We Are
A community-funded, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, Pope Memorial Humane Society – Cocheco Valley (PMHS-CV) is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care and shelter for animals while fostering a more humane community through education and advocacy for animal welfare. PMHS-CV cares for over 1,000 animals each year, who enter our doors as strays, owner surrenders, or transports from other humane agencies in need of assistance. We also provide low-cost veterinary care to hundreds of owned pets every year to ensure owned animals can continue to thrive with their beloved families.
We Fulfill Our Mission By…
- Placing unhoused animals into caring adoptive homes
- Promoting the practice of spaying, neutering, and routine preventative veterinary care
- Assisting with cruelty investigations and rescue
- Raising awareness within the community about animal welfare
- Encouraging volunteer involvement and support
- Being an active voice and advocate for the safety, health, and wellbeing of animals
- Serving as a comprehensive resource center for the community
