Save an Animal
Adopting a Pet
Every animal in our shelter has a unique story and is waiting for someone like you to give them a second chance. When you adopt from Pope Memorial Humane Society, you're not just gaining a companion—you're saving a life and making room for another animal in need. Our adoption process is designed to ensure the perfect match between pets and families. Visit us during our adoption hours to meet dogs, cats, and small animals ready to join your home. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, your new best friend is waiting.
MakING a Donation
Your generosity directly impacts the lives of animals in our care. Every donation provides nutritious food, life-saving medical treatment, warm shelter, and the love every animal deserves while they wait for their forever home. Whether you choose to give once, become a monthly donor, or contribute through our Amazon and Chewy wishlists, you're continuing the legacy of compassion started by Lyman Pope Jr. Thanks to supporters like you, we've expanded our facilities to include a 5,250 sq ft outdoor play area and training pavilion, giving our animals more space to thrive and heal.
What we do
Our Services
Rescue Animals
We provide safe shelter and compassionate care for abandoned, surrendered, and stray animals throughout the Seacoast region. Every animal receives medical attention, proper nutrition, and plenty of love while they wait for their second chance
Pet Resources
Our Pet Food Pantry ensures no animal goes hungry during tough times, while our Lost & Found services help reunite missing pets with worried owners. We also offer educational programs, service learning opportunities, and guidance to help pet owners navigate hard times
Dog Training
Professional dog training classes help strengthen the relationship between you and your canine companion. Classes are open to all dogs in the community—not just PMHS adoptees
Low Cost Pet Clinics
Quality veterinary care shouldn't be out of reach. Our low-cost spay, neuter, rabies, and microchip clinics help make essential services accessible to all pet owners.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
Pope Memorial Humane Society is dedicated to providing compassionate care and safe shelter for animals in need while strengthening the bond between pets and people throughout the Seacoast community. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned and surrendered animals, advocate for responsible pet ownership, and offer accessible resources that keep families and their pets together. Through education, community programs, and affordable services, we work to create a world where every animal is valued, protected, and loved. Continuing the legacy of Lyman Pope Jr., we believe that every life matters—and every animal deserves a second chance.
