Thank you for your interest in the adopt. specialty license plate that will support pet adoption and animal welfare in Maine. We have reached our goal of pre-selling the required 2,000 plates.

Proceeds raised by the adopt plate program will benefit the Animal Welfare Program. AWP’s mission is to ensure humane and proper treatment of Maine animals.

AWP facilitated the passing of the nation’s first law allowing animals to be included in protection orders in domestic violence cases. Due to the severity of recent seizures and the complexity of their mission, additional funds are sorely needed. Click to read more.
