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.

* We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with 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.  Send us a message or stop by to get your unique Fi promo code. 

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.
