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.

We're located in Oceanside, North San Diego County, California, and serve the cities of Oceanside and Vista.
