Northshore Humane Society
Our Mission
Northshore Humane Society is dedicated to enhancing and saving the lives of pets in the Northshore region through community engagement, adoption, and compassionate veterinary care. We strive to provide a foundation for a no-kill nation by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need.
Serving the Northshore Since 1953
As an independent, non-governmental 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Covington, Louisiana, we have been a pillar of animal welfare for over seventy years. We receive no tax funding, meaning our life-saving work is made possible entirely through the support and generosity of our local community.
Our Commitment to Care
We operate as a no-kill rescue and community veterinary clinic, ensuring every animal receives the medical attention they deserve. Our model includes a dedicated shelter facility, a robust foster network for those not yet ready for adoption, and a full-service clinic that provides affordable care to both rescue and family pets. All proceeds from our clinic services directly fund our mission to care for homeless animals.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Welcoming a new companion is a joyful, life-changing decision, and our specially trained Adoption Counselors are here to guide you through the process. We prioritize thoughtful, lifestyle-based matches to ensure each animal and family thrives together. Our team works hard to get to know each pet’s personality, size, and history so you can find the perfect best friend.
Get Involved
We invite you to experience the impact of our work firsthand by visiting our facility or exploring our adoptable dogs and cats online. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer, or support our Second Chance medical fund, your involvement directly saves lives right here in our community. Please reach out to us today to schedule a tour or learn more about our current opportunities to help.
