About Us

Nassau Humane Society improves the lives of homeless animals in our community by providing them shelter and compassionate care. Our work focuses on adoption services, education about responsible pet ownership, and working to reduce animal overpopulation and homeless pets. In addition to our community role as a stray and pet intake and adoption facility, we offer a year round pet food bank to keep families together, a dog park, as well as two resale store operations that support funding our mission. Our goal is to alleviate animal suffering and neglect and to support the human-animal bond by bringing pets and people together.
