Animal Shelters

In 1875, the Nebraska Humane Society was established. It is currently one of the largest and the fifth-oldest humane societies in the country. We offer shelter to animals who have no place to call home and provide vital services to them and to the people who love them. Every year, more than 24,000 animals, including wildlife, find their way to our doors. Through our programs, we touch the lives of more than 200,000 people annually with our message of compassion and humane treatment for all living creatures. We are housed on a 13-acre campus with four buildings, 170 dedicated staff members and 500 volunteers.

We are a group committed to enhancing and defending the welfare of animals. Our Objective "To provide lost and abandoned companion animals in Gage County with refuge, protection, and placement, as well as to serve as a community educational resource

Our goal at Big Sky Happy Tails is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find the ideal forever home for abandoned or forgotten pets. Providing low-cost choices for spaying and neutering while also assisting the neighborhood.

To house and feed as many animals as possible; to alleviate the pain of the weak and unloved; to save the hungry, the defenseless, the lost, and the small children who are only trying to survive.

Our main goal is to put out our best positive effort. Our volunteers and members give us the drive to carry out our mission. Our goal is to give animals the best chance at a long and happy life. We do this by providing low-cost spay and neuter clinics to help with population control, preventing needless euthanasia by finding loving homes for unwanted pets through adoption or pass-through, and preventing shelters from becoming overcrowded and being forced to euthanize.

Libby/stray Troy's and abandoned pet population needed a compassionate, no-kill shelter, so a group of concerned residents founded Kootenai Pets for Life in 2001.
