Our vision is the elimination of equine abuse and neglect.
The mission of the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals is to provide refuge, rehabilitation, and placement of seized equines, support the placement of surrenders, and educate the public.
MSSPA uses its resources to provide direct care, rehabilitation, and placement for horses who have suffered abuse.
The Society promotes humane treatment, training, and use of animals through education and hands-on experiences.
Watch this video as Smokey tells a tale of adoption for Jethro, Jazz, and himself.
Adoption: it isn’t the end; it’s the beginning of a whole new love affair!
If you have room in your barn and heart for the right horse, adopt an MSSPA horse.
