The first shelter was purchased via a tax sale from the Town of Norway and was used primarily to be a feline shelter because the local animal control officer operated a shelter for the stray dogs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1628961568331-BU6SPI8F3MRJOMDNWK3J/4-2.jpeg Our Story - Pawsibilities A second building on the same property was eventually cleaned and organized to be the second hand store benefitting RPC, called “Pawsibilities & Fabulous Finds”! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1628949599151-VV932WQQ7F67IUIF8V8T/rpc.jpg Our Story - Where We Are Now… Thanks To You! When the shelter operated by the animal control officer could no longer meet the standards of licensing, we felt the obligation to take on that responsibility as many dogs would be taken to shelters that could not accommodate them due to lack of space, and would ultimately be euthanized. In January 2013, a major fundraising campaign began to raise $325,000 to purchase and retrofit an existing commercial building in nearby South Paris. A very generous and supportive community allowed us to raise the money and the purchase was made in February of 2014. The doors to our new shelter were opened in May 2014 with much more space for the public to come and enjoy visits and volunteer, as well as more space for the animals and the enrichment they need and deserve. We are truly grateful for our generous and compassionate supporters with the heart to make the shelter possible to continue compassionate service to animals that need it so much. https://www.responsiblepetcare.org/low-cost-spayneuter daily 0.75 2025-10-31 https://www.responsiblepetcare.org/donate-funds daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1628959383891-QW0H9AU5CHGWNHJV9JK0/unsplash-image-TPbqNoEZdT4.jpg Donate Funds - Sponsor A Kennel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1628959697293-9TCE6YUM6PN8E60OFY4H/unsplash-image-2Ts5HnA67k8.jpg Donate Funds - Donate to the RPC Medical Fund https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1629061044175-45A4LJXECBO9NY9NPDU9/unsplash-image-nPGV7whyrjE.jpg Donate Funds - Honor / Remembrance Gifts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6117bf3bd2da9f50703deddd/1629039044518-C9C9KAO7SO33H4BMBLUC/Paypal-Giving-Fund.png Donate Funds - Make it stand out You can donate directly through PayPal to RPC.
