Help the Animals
Adopting a Pet
The goal of the NHS adoption program is to match the right home with the right animal to begin building a forever family. Making room in your life and a place in your heart for an animal will create a connection that will change both of you forever. We’re here from day one to be part of your amazing journey together.
Check out our animals currently waiting for their “forever home”.
Making a Donation
The NHS operates without government funding, relying solely on the support and kindness of the communities it serves. To sustain our operations, we must consistently raise the funds needed. Each year, hundreds of animals are nurtured and provided with veterinary care until they find their forever homes. All donations are allocated directly to animal welfare, covering costs for medical care, vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, food, and supplies for daily shelter operations.

Foster A Pet
NHS is always looking for temporary foster homes for our animals as they await adoption to their permanent homes. We provide all supplies to foster homes, including food, dishes, litter/litter box, blankets and a crate. We also provide medications and prescription diet as required. As a foster volunteer, you provide a safe and caring home for your new house guest.
