Ways to Partner
Every partnership is a little different. Whether you want to give back, bring people together or support animals in need, we’d be happy to explore a way for your organization or group to get involved.
Volunteer As a Team
Bring your group together for hands-on support projects. Group-size limits and timing depend on shelter operations and seasonal capacity—reach out early to coordinate your team date.
Organize a Supply or Donation Drive
Rally your network to collect our most-needed items (such as pet food, cleaning supplies, and enrichment toys) to stock our shelter and Pet Food Bank.
Support Community Outreach
Collaborate with us on community education, pet wellness initiatives, or our Pet Food Bank program to keep pets and families together.
Collaborate on an Event
Work directly with NHS on an approved community activity. Looking to host your own independent fundraiser? Check out our Third-Party Events page to get started.
Provide in-Kind Support
Donate professional services, specialized goods, or operational materials that help us direct more resources straight to animal care.
Sponsorship and Corporate Support
Explore cause-aligned marketing and corporate giving opportunities.
