Charlie's is proud to be the major sponsor for the new Nancy Shuman Animal Shelter in Augusta. The shelter, named after Charlie's wife, has been a lifelong dream of the Shuman family. The Charlie's organization has donated almost 2 million dollars to this project that cares for so many animals until they can find their forever homes. Since 1927 the Kennebec Valley Humane Society has provided shelter, food, and medical services to local animals in need. Our mission is to care for, protect and place animals for adoption in lifelong homes; to prevent cruelty to animals by educating our communities in the proper and humane care of all animals. Our vision is to end pet overpopulation and to advance the humane treatment of all animals.
