\n\t\t\tStatistics & Impact\n\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t

The Nebraska Humane Society is unique among animal shelters. In addition to taking animals whose owners can no longer care for them, we provide animal control services for the Omaha metro area.\u00a0We are the facility that houses all animals with nowhere else to go.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"GettyImages\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tIn 2024:\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t15,296\n\t\t\t\t\tAnimals passed through our care\n\t\t7,503\n\t\t\t\t\tPets found their forever home\n\t\t2,148\n\t\t\t\t\tAnimals returned to their owners or habitat\n\t\t5,887\n\t\t\t\t\tSpays\/neuters performed\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tThe best outcome for every pet\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

We are the facility that houses all animals with nowhere else to go. We don’t pick and choose who enters. Instead, we offer clean kennels, warm beds, loving hearts and kind hands to every abandoned, stray and lost animal who arrives at our door. We provide a safe place for victims of cruelty and neglect, offer sanctuary for animals who have been given up by their owners, help reconnect missing pets with their owners and quarantine animals who have harmed another. Our goal is to have the best outcome for every animal we encounter.<\/p>\n\t\t5,495\n\t\t\t\t\tAnimals microchipped\n\t\t2,148\n\t\t\t\t\tlost animals were reunited with owners\n\t\t1,182\n\t\t\t\t\tCommunity cats’ lives saved \n\t\t103\n\t\t\t\t\tDogs’ lives saved with Molly Project (behavior support program for unruly\/fearful dogs)\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tSaving More Cats\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

We are adopting out more cats every year. However, cat overpopulation continues to be a challenge for every shelter in the country, due to their overwhelming ability to procreate and the propensity of many owners to let them free roam.<\/p>\n

To combat the feline population issue we have worked with the community on a limited trap\/neuter\/release program, fostered thousands of kittens in private homes, worked to create a kitten nursery at NHS where fragile youngsters can get vital nutrition until they reach foster care, utilized PetSmarts and veterinary offices to house and adopt cats, and we have expanded our cat kenneling area. Still, at times, we fill up our cat areas.<\/p>\n

When we are pushing cats into our overflow rooms, we ask our community to help–waiving adoption fees for cats and offering reduced adoption fees for kittens. We began this practice in late 2010 when space got perilously tight. You, our community, responded, paving the way for us to continue this life saving marketing!<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tOur Amazing Community\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t

We are proud of what we have accomplished together. Because of you, we save many more lives than the national average for animal control facilities. From the animals whose lives you helped save, thank you! It takes a community to save every life possible.<\/p>\n\t\t775\n\t\t\t\t\tVolunteers\n\t\t247\n\t\t\t\t\tFoster Families\n\t\t25,482\n\t\t\t\t\tCalls dispatched to Animal Control Officers\n\t\t2,910\n\t\t\t\t\tPeople were provided pet food and care with free community programs\n\t\t
