 About
Us

Originally founded in 1938, NCHS is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
We are not a chapter of, or funded by, any national, state, or local
humane organization. Our shelter is independent, directed by the staff,
and governed by a Board of Directors.
Funding which enables the NCHS & SPCA to develop, implement, or
expand its programs and services comes from generous contributions,
membership gifts, and bequests received from caring people throughout
the community.
These special people and special gifts help us turn our
bold visions as animal advocates into realities - and
for that generous support we are always deeply grateful.
Our Mission:
NCHS is a nonprofit organization that provides support and compassionate care for the well being of animals and people.
Vision:
We envision a world where all animals receive humane treatment and people are stewards giving respect and compassion to all living creatures
Core Values:
Accountability
Financial Strength
Ethical Behavior
Stewardship
Education
