*Whistles* To All My Friends
My name is Lily, I live here at the shelter, usually you can visit me right behind the front desk. I love to chat and if you whistle at me then I'll whistle right back at you. I love my life here at NFHS, everyone is so kind and gentle even though I can be a little bit moody at times.
Hard At Work
Pictured are Lori and Andrew, both and part of our wonderful staff. Without you we wouldn't be able to open our doors each day. All of the animals are extremely grateful for your hard work and all the effort you put forth.
Zeb Is Back
Zeb, our loving senior cat who has lived in the community relations office is back. He had a rough patch and could not be in our office, well now he's all better and happier than ever. Zeb's a lovely boy who cannot get enough attention.
Wildlife at the Shelter
The NFHS is so lucky to have such a beautiful property and location next to the river, where we're always finding new and spectacular creatures both inside and outside of the shelter.
Pictured here are: a killdeer faking a broken wing to lead predators away from its nest, a snail napping in our front garden, and an inchworm.
Other wildlife found around the shelter includes coyotes, foxes, deer, raccoons, beavers, and snapping turtles!

DIRTY JOBS!
They may not be all fun and games, but everyone does them regardless. Whether it´s hosing down the dog kennels, sweeping the floors, emptying cat litters, taking out the garbage, or moving donations to the proper area, the staff is willing and committed to doing what makes a difference. Pictured is Mark, moving a bag of dog food that was graciously donated to us by a member of the loving community.
Front Desk Help
Pictured is Tessa and Holly, Tessa is one of our receptionists and Holly is one of our co-op students. Our receptionists work so hard to keep everything in order, and to help facilitate adoptions. All of our receptionists are multi-taskers and for them everyday is a busy day. Not only are they our receptionists but they also help with the cleaning everyday.
Thank You To Our Receptionists.
ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!

Beaver set free

Enjoy your freedom, buddy!
Baby Bunnies Rescued!
A good citizen found baby bunnies when he was cutting his grass. He searched all through his yard to see if there were anymore to be found. The babies were brought here to the humane society and then later were brought over to a rescue to be taken care of.
Thank you!
Home Away From Home
Pictured is one of our volunteers, spending some quality time with her extended family in the free roam adoption room. With all the brushing, cuddling, and love that the cats get, it´s as if they´re already home.
Thanks to all volunteers!

He came in to the shelter because his owner became ill and couldn't care for him any more. Zeb is a welcome addition to the Community Relations office and reminds us every day how much animals enrich our lives.
Thank you Zeb!
