A Maine Statement of Abandonment of Domestication is a legal document used to terminate a person's rights to a pet or other domesticated animal in the state of Maine. It is typically used when an individual is no longer able or willing to care for the animal, or when the animal is to be given away, sold, or euthanized. There are two types of Maine Statement of Abandonment of Domestication: one for relinquishing a pet or animal to a shelter or rescue organization, and one for surrendering a pet or animal to a private individual. In either case, the document must be signed and notarized by the relinquishing party and witnessed by two witnesses. It must include the full name and address of both the relinquishing and receiving parties, as well as a detailed description of the animal and the circumstances of the relinquishment.
