Only place on island to adopt pets in need of being rehomed. Plus if you live here and have time to spare, always looking for volunteers to help socialize the ones in residence. Who doesn't want to play with kitties?

I adopted my two sweet kittens from NiSHA. They are so supportive, knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy!!! I couldn’t imagine adopting from any other shelter. They truly care for every animal.

★★★★★ 5.0 kaitlyn resener · May 2023

I adopted my kitty through NISHA and it was a wonderful experience! The communication between us was clear and easy! Johanna helped us when we got there and kindly offered to bring us back to the ferry which was so sweet! Thank you for everything Johanna you are truly amazing and thank you NISHA for all the resources you provided us! If I adopt down the road I will definitely be going through NISHA!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jimmy Dalzell · Apr 2019

Great people, great mission, all around positive experience having both adopted a dog from them my self, as well as fostering shelter dogs until they are adopted. If you’re considering or looking for a dog they are definitely worth checking out
