Our Purpose
 Our shelter exists to serve the animals of our city and to help educate the public about the importance of proper animal care.
We care for lost, stray or abandoned pets and we also shelter animals that have been seized by Portsmouth Animal Control.
We serve our community by providing humane education to as many groups as we can reach to promote the humane treatment of companion animals.
We also provide volunteer and employment opportunities to animal lovers who would like to help us continue our important work.
Please explore our website or stop by our shelter to visit with us. You can find out about the work that we perform in Portsmouth and how you can help us make our city a great place to live-for animals and for the people who love them.
We would also ask that you consider supporting our efforts through a tax-deductible donation so that we can continue to provide the highest level of service to the animals in our care.
 With more resources, we are able to provide more for animals that need our help as well as provide services and information for the community we serve.
Animals bring so much joy to people's lives and ask for so little in return. Your support will help us provide the care that the animals deserve and a chance at a long, happy life.
 There are many creative ways in which you can support the work of the Portsmouth Humane Society, everything from doing simple Internet searches to buying pet medications online to making an online donation-visit our "support us" page to find out how you can help us promote a more humane community in Portsmouth |
