My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Spotlight on Herbie: A Gentle Giant

Meet Herbie, our lovable large breed pup with a cream-colored coat and those unforgettable tiny little ears that make him truly unique. Herbie originally came to us as a puppy in 2021, and though he was adopted twice, both returns were not due to anything he did.

Herbie is currently a bit confused and unsure, struggling to understand why he’s back with us again. He’s in need of a patient and understanding family who can help him rebuild his trust and confidence.

Herbie would thrive best as the only pet in a home initially, but once he’s settled and comfortable, he may be open to having a canine friend. He would also greatly benefit from a large yard where he can stretch out and enjoy his space.

If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a heart of gold who just needs a loving family to call his own, Herbie might be the perfect match for you. Come meet him and see how this special boy can bring joy and warmth into your life.

More about this shelter

Northshore Humane Society is one of Louisiana's largest 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organizations. Since 1953, we have been serving the neglected and abandoned animals of the Northshore region. We are an independent, non-governmental rescue that offers veterinary care, fostering, adoption, and more. We rely solely on the support of caring people like you to fund our programs and services which profoundly benefit the animals of our community. Thank you for all of your support!

Our Mission:
To be the premier organization dedicated to enhancing and saving the lives of pets in the Northshore region through community engagements, adoption, spay and neuter programs, and sheltering.

Our Vision:
To lay the foundation for a no-kill nation. To learn more about a no-kill nation, we suggest visiting www.nokilladvocacycenter.org.

What We Do:
Adoptions: Each year, we rescue, care for and find loving homes for homeless animals in our community.

Veterinary Care:
Our community clinic provides excellent veterinary care to both our rescue pets and to beloved family pets. All funds raised through our clinic directly impact the care of the homeless animals of our rescue.

Foster:
Our foster families open their homes to homeless animals who are too young, sick or scared to be immediately adopted.

Volunteer:
Hundreds of volunteers take on a variety of tasks to help care for and promote our animals, assist administration, and represent NHS at community events, allowing more time for our staff to do their jobs efficiently.

Low-Cost Pet Health:
Through grant and corporate partners, we are able to provide a variety of low-cost pet care to people in need. These include low-cost spay/neuter opportunities, microchipping, vaccinations and more!
