Since our founding in 1987, the mission of the Humane Society of the North Bay (HSNB) is to provide shelter and compassionate care to our community's animals in need, offer programs that improve their lives and strengthen the lifelong commitment between animals and people. We do this by reuniting lost dogs and cats with their owners; taking adoptable animals, both stray and surrendered, into our care while seeking to find them new homes; building a strong network of rescue and shelter partners, providing microchip and licensing services to the public; offering low-cost spay/neuter services; and providing education to the public to build healthy bonds between people and their pets. The Humane Society of the North Bay (HSNB) is one of the most under-resourced and hardest-working animal shelters in the Bay Area. In 2020, we rescued over 1,100 lost and neglected animals.
