Why Your Donation Matters
Transforming Lives—One Paw at a Time
At the Animal Shelter of Northeast Nebraska, a simple act of generosity does more than care for homeless animals—it reaches into the heart of our community, uplifting people in times of need and building connections that last a lifetime. Here's how your support makes a meaningful difference across many lives.
Inspiring Youth Through Humane Education
Your donation empowers programs that teach young people about compassion, empathy, and responsibility. Through shelter tours, classroom visits, and youth volunteer opportunities, children and teens learn the value of kindness—lessons that ripple outward into schools and homes.
A Safe Haven for Families in Crisis
Pets are family. When survivors of domestic violence or families facing emergencies need to leave home quickly, we offer temporary shelter for their animals—ensuring they can seek safety without the heartbreak of surrendering a beloved pet. Your support provides emergency boarding, veterinary care, and peace of mind.
Service and Healing for Veterans and First Responders
Donations help connect rescue animals with veterans and first responders in need of emotional support or service companions. These bonds do more than provide companionship—they offer healing, courage, and an anchor in times of struggle.
Companionship for the Elderly
Through special adoption programs, we match senior citizens with senior pets—creating gentle, comforting companionship for those who may face loneliness. Your generosity helps cover adoption fees, veterinary costs, and transportation support.
Lifelong Learning: Obedience & Enrichment
Training saves lives. We use donor funds to provide basic obedience and behavioral support that helps animals thrive in their forever homes. It’s not just about manners—it’s about giving each animal the best chance at love and stability.
Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome
From urgent medical care to long-term recovery, our shelter is often the last hope for neglected or injured animals. Donations fund surgeries, rehabilitation, and healing—turning painful beginnings into hopeful futures.
Open Arms and Open Homes
Every adoption is a fresh start. Your support fuels our adoption events, outreach campaigns, and match-making efforts that unite loving families with animals in need.
Every Dollar, Every Life
When you give to the Animal Shelter of Northeast Nebraska, you’re not just donating to a shelter—you’re investing in a circle of care that touches animals and people alike. Together, we build a kinder, more connected community—one tail wag, one purr, one life at a time.
