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.

Click to see the Leaders List. This list has the
names of the 2,000 people throughout the
state who stepped up to help make the adopt
specialty plate a reality.

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. This small agency is responsible for puppy mill seizures and animal
neglect and abuse cases. Their hard work has kept Maine ranked in the top

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.
