Who we are:
The New Hope Animal Shelter NHAS is the first registered charity NO-KILL Animal Shelter that has been operating for 150 years. We believe that every pet has the right to life and are recognized as beings with feelings with the right to loving care. We have no time limit to an animal's stay while we find a suitable home for them. The Society provides care, comfort and compassion to animals in need in communities across the country. It values all animals and advocates to treat them with respect and kindness. The Society strives to keep pets and families together and do so through a variety of community support services, such as sheltering and adoptions, including emergency sheltering, feral cat management programs, animal transfers, food distribution, humane education, animal advocacy, and spay/neuter services. The NHAS does not receive annual government funding and relies on donations to provide programs and services to help animals in need.
Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character; and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
