Adoption: Save a Life!
NiSHA never turns away an animal in need.
When you adopt one of our shelter pets, you are saving a life—a priceless feeling any day! Adoption donations help to cover the services the pet receives before going home with you.

Adoption Benefits
At NiSHA, we appreciate that you are choosing adoption. We try to make it easy to take home a friend by including as much as possible in the adoption process. This ensures your new companion is healthy and ready for their new life with you. Our adoption fees only cover a portion of what each animal receives. By becoming an
Angel Adopter, you help bridge the gap so we can save more lives.

Fi Smart GPS Collars to help keep our pups safe once they head home. We have an exclusive offer for all NiSHA adopters — past and future! FREE Fi Collar + 6-Month Membership ($150+ value — totally covered for you!) Why this matters: Newly adopted dogs are often flight risks as they adjust to their new routines and surroundings. Fi collars provide real-time GPS tracking and escape alerts straight to your phone — giving families extra peace of mind while keeping the dogs we love never lost and always found. HOW TO REDEEM: Adopt (or have adopted!) a dog through NiSHA.

Pet Shelter
Homeless, abandoned and relinquished pet shelter. NiSHA takes in and cares for Nantucket’s stray and surrendered pets, whether given up due to a move, allergies or found wandering the lanes of Nantucket. We will never turn away an animal in need. All incoming animals receive sterilization, vaccines and microchip before going on to new homes.
Land to Sea Pet Rescue
NiSHA helps overcrowded shelters in Massachusetts and across the country with their overflow of adoptable animals, finding them loving homes, thereby saving lives. Since 2012, NiSHA has found homes for thousands of animals who would otherwise not had a chance.
