A Word About Adopting...

NHHS has many fabulous animals available for adoption. Each day new animals are becoming residents and others are moving into their new homes. Although we make every effort to continuously update this website the animals status can change at a moments notice (if making a long trip please call first).

Please continue to check our website, which is updated every week. Click on the links above to view all the critters currently available for adoption!
