Essential Services for the Community
NiSHA does more than give shelter to homeless and lost animals. We provide the community with assistance programs to ensure pets are cared for 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.
