New Hampshire Humane Society
Mission
Founded in 1900 by M. Jennie Kendall, the NH Humane Society has gradually evolved into the organization it is today - assuring each animal exceptional care and comfort, gentle behavioral support, excellent medical treatment and specific adoption guidelines. Today we are a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization that is proud to serve the people and animals in the communities we serve and rely 100% on donations from the public. Come rain or shine, blizzard, or heat wave, our dedicated staff and volunteers strive to make a difference in the lives of the animals 365 days of the year. We strive to make the animals stay as short as possible, but no matter how long the wait, we are pledged to find a forever home for all. Mission The mission of the New Hampshire Humane Society is: To find responsible and caring forever homes for lost, abandoned and unwanted animals; To be a community partner to help care for animals and to keep them in their forever homes; To provide shelter and care for lost, abandoned and unwanted animals; To be advocates for animals...speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves; To implement educational programs and provide services to promote responsible pet ownership and the bond between animals and humans; To prevent overpopulation and cruelty to animals. Vision To have all animals cared for in a compassionate and responsible manner. Core Values Together we: respect animal life and promote the good health of animals. We are compassionate and empathetic in our decisions and interactions. We believe that education is the key to the humane treatment of animals. We are fiscally responsible and accountable. We are committed to honesty and integrity. We believe that the human-animal bond enriches the entire community. We believe in constructive change through community involvement. Position The New Hampshire Humane Society is the area's leading organization devoted to animal welfare. We collaborate with local agencies, towns and with community members throughout Central New Hampshire and beyond to fulfill the mission of this organization. We invest the time to give under-socialized animals the training and chance they need to get adopted. We provide lifesaving medical care for animals with curable conditions to insure that they will thrive with their new families. The New Hampshire Humane Society does not receive any federal or state money nor does it receive any other humane organization funding. In order for our vision to be realized, we understand that we must work with the entire community and provide value to the communities we serve.
