NHSPCA
A Vision for Every Animal
The New Hampshire SPCA is dedicated to creating a safe and loving home for every animal. We strive to improve the welfare of pets and people across the state through compassion, community connection, and unwavering care.
Our History and Purpose
As the oldest animal welfare organization in New Hampshire, we have been a steadfast resource for our community for generations. We address a wide variety of needs, from providing shelter and medical care for homeless animals to offering humane education and cruelty intervention services.
How We Care for Our Animals
Our work takes place within our Stratham shelter and through the support of an invaluable foster network. Every animal in our care receives nutritious food, safe shelter, behavioral evaluations, and essential medical attention, including spay or neuter surgery, before finding their new family.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is a joyful journey, and our dedicated team is here to help you find the perfect match for your home and lifestyle. We provide comprehensive support, including complimentary behavior and training resources, to ensure a lasting bond between you and your new family member.
Join Our Mission
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our programs, there are many ways to make a meaningful impact. We invite you to explore our adoptable animals online or visit our Adoption Center in Stratham to meet the pets currently waiting for their forever homes.
