Visions and Goals

Our Vision for the Future
The Northeast Nebraska Humane Society and friends will provide a society of friends of animals and a network of friends supportive of humane care, education, and support for animals in need.
To fulfill our vision, we pledge to:

• Build a strong network of members, friends, and supporters willing to promote the cause of humane care of dogs, cats, and other animals in need.
• Educate and assist people in the cause of reducing the number of unwanted animals in our region, through neutering, adoption services, and consultation.
  
• Provide educational materials and services to help people in our region support appropriate care for animals and to stop animal abuse and neglect.
  
• Build a comfortable, healthy, and accessible state of the art shelter for animals who are in need of temporary homes, adoption support, and caring facility.

Our Number One Goal
Our vision includes providing comfortable housing for dogs and cats in need of homes. We are looking forward to the day that we will be able to build a shelter with temperature controlled kennel spaces for dogs, outside runs and trails for exercise, and adequate and comfortable spaces for cats and kittens. Space for training, adoption services, an adoption show room, a medical room, and office for our shelter manager will provide appropriate room and service to assist animals in need of homes. Our aim is to provide services to animals from Wayne and surrounding communities, and to offer support for homeless animals in the country.

The need is there for such a facility and service. Right now we’re doing what we can with limited facilities for housing dogs needing adoption. No support is provided for cats because of our lack of proper facilities. Our ten outside kennels are usually full and in many cases we are unable to accept dogs in need because of our limited space. Some of our friends and supporters take in dogs to foster care. The need for kennel space and enclosed facilities is the most pressing one facing our Society, but we’re all committed to our goal to build this facility in the future.
