Essential Services for Our Community
NiSHA is not only a safe harbor for animals in need, but we also provide many assistance programs to the island community to help keep pets in the loving homes they already have.
Educate
NiSHA’s Humane Education program focuses on teaching young people the value of humane thinking.
Keeping Our Shelter in Place.
The mission of Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals, NiSHA, is to rescue and care for animals in need and to advance animal wellbeing through education, advocacy, and community outreach.
NiSHA is open by appointment only Mon-Sat from 8am to 5pm. Our animals thrive in a quiet, structured atmosphere, and our human clients get more focused attention when an appointment is made in advance. If you would like to visit, please call 508-825-2287, ext. 1. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you.
