About this shelter

New England Animal Sanctuary in Buxton, ME

New England Animal Sanctuary is a farm animal shelter located in Buxton, Maine, about 10 miles south of Biddeford.

Beyond direct rescue work, the sanctuary focuses on education and advocacy around industrial animal agriculture, climate change, and plant-based living, hosting a Film Club, workshops, and community events such as vegan dinners and yoga groups. The sanctuary is currently closed to general public visits but welcomes volunteers and private visitors by request.
