Get Involved

NHS has 150 staff members, but we are strengthened by our pet loving community. Whether you volunteer your time and talents, attend our events, support our programs or advocate for NHS, your involvement means more animals will get the care and second chances they so richly deserve.

Foster Care

Provide temporary homes for animals that are either not yet ready for adoption or animals who desperately need a break from the shelter.

Volunteer

Volunteers are an integral part of day-to-day operations at the Nebraska Humane Society.

Friends Forever Support Guild

Friends Forever supports the Nebraska Humane Society through volunteerism, fundraising and the promotion of community awareness.

Spend Time with a Shelter Dog

Our Barks and Rec program gives shelter dogs a much-needed break and the chance to meet wonderful new people like you!

Community Service Projects

Do you have a group interested in doing a community service project for the Nebraska Humane Society and their animals?
