New Hampshire Humane Society

Founded in 1900 by M. Jennie Kendall, New Hampshire Humane Society was formerly known as the Women’s Humane Society. Originally located in Nashua, NH, the organization worked tirelessly for the welfare of women, children, and animals. In recent years, we have renewed our focus on kindness - to animals, the environment, and to each other. To that end, racism, misogyny, bigotry, and any other unkind sentiments will not be tolerated here.

A significant part of our mission is about second chances. We're dedicated to finding responsible and caring forever homes and providing shelter for lost, abandoned and unwanted animals. We advocate for animals and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. We implement educational programs and provide services to promote responsible pet ownership and the human-animal bond. And finally, we work tirelessly to prevent cruelty to animals.
