| Description: | The ATNHS is a 501c(3) nonprofit humane society, and we depend on fund raisers and donations to continue our mission of education, rescue, and spay and neuter. We are a no-kill organization, and even though we do not have a physical shelter at this time, we place hundreds of cats, dogs and other animals in loving homes every year. The Society exists to provide protection for unwanted or abused animals in Littleton and the surrounding areas of northern New Hampshire and Vermont. The Society also has a responsibility for public education in the areas of animal care and welfare.
Means for accomplishing the Mission
1. Ongoing Programs: Assist in the placement of stray or unwanted animals; Provide medical treatment for stray or abused animals; Sponsor obedience classes for behavior management of pets; Provide pet food for low income families; Promote spay/neuter and rabies clinics; Develop working relationships with local veterinarians; Support foster care where appropriate.
2. Long Range Planning: If practical, future plans may include building a shelter to house homeless animals. This would be a no-kill facility. However, if an animal is deemed unadoptable, due to behavioral or medical reasons, euthanasia could be employed as a last resort.
The Above the Notch Humane Society was established due to an ever-increasing need for an animal shelter for Littleton and the immediately surrounding area. In the past year, we have gained non-profit corporation status in the state of New Hampshire, gained tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service (501 (c)3 status), and run our own shelter. |
