FAQ'S

Picture
 How long has the Neenah Animal Shelter been operating?
We were founded in 1958 and began operations in 1962.

Is the Neenah Animal Shelter a non-profit organization?
Yes, we are considered a Section 501(c)3.   ​(EIN: 39-1030012)
​
Is the Neenah Animal Shelter a no-kill shelter?
Our LifeFirst philosophy is a commitment to never euthanize any animal because of lack of space or funding, but to save, restore and rehome all adoptable animals under our care. Our goal is to improve the quality and strength of the bond between people and their pets through education and example. 

NAS does not euthanize for space or time. Euthanasia is a last resort, to be used only when an animal is too sick to be treated or too aggressive to be safely adopted out.

We do not receive ANY funding from governmental agencies.

How many animals does the Neenah Animal Shelter help each year?
We typically help between 500-600 animals per year. We have the capacity to care for 13 dogs and 150 cats at our facility at any one time.
