Humane Society of the Nature Coast
Founded in 1964, the Humane Society of the Nature Coast, Inc. is a private non-profit, no time limit organization dedicated to the rescue, health and re-homing of orphaned and abandoned pets. We receive no operational funding from local, state or federal governments or from the Humane Society of the United States. Operations are entirely funded by donations and fundraising events held throughout the year.
We are proud to serve the people and animals of the Nature Coast, which includes Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus counties, with a variety of programs and services.
“Our mission is to provide a safe haven for homeless, neglected and abused animals while promoting pet welfare and sterilization to achieve a no-kill society.”
We have successfully partnered with many non-profit and community organizations. Through these partnerships, we have implemented several successful programs.
Our shelter has 12 dog kennels, five (5) isolation units, and a cottage that can house up to 60 cats.
We also have a close relationship with Petco, Petsmart, and Petsupermarket. Some of our cats and kittens are housed there to help spread the word about adoption. On occasion (mostly on the weekends), we also bring some of our dogs and puppies for more exposure to the public.
