Central Nebraska Humane Society

Central Nebraska Humane Society Central Nebraska Humane Society, established in 1966, is an open admission shelter located in GI Nebraska.

Our mission is to help the lost and abandoned animals in our area. Established in 1967 and celebrating over 50 years of service, the Central Nebraska Humane Society is still located at the original site donated by Herbert and Barbara Glover. CNHS is the largest nonprofit 501(c) (3) animal welfare organization in a lead role in central Nebraska. CNHS is governed by a Board of Directors whose member

s establish the policies, operation guidelines, strategic planning and fundraising for the organization. All donations and financial support goes directly to impacting the lives of animals in a positive way. Much of the funding CNHS needs to care for animals comes from the generous support of local donations. Funding from the relationship with local city government only covers the work of Animal Control. Currently, the CNHS staff is developing new programs including comprehensive animal foster care and dog training programs as well as revamping its volunteer program. Development of these new programs would not occur without the generous financial support of area donors. To date, CNHS has adopted to over 70 counties in Nebraska and over 30 states.

Our sweet “Funshine Bear” isn’t shining quite like he used to.

He may not be one of our longest residents, but shelter life is wearing him down. This once spunky, adventurous soul now spends his days looking lost, uninterested even in the simple joys of a sunny walk or a favorite toy. It breaks our hearts to see the light dim in a dog who used to chase every moment with joy.

Funshine never should’ve ended up here. He was abandoned by the person he trusted most—and waited patiently, day after day, for someone who never came back.

He still believes in people, though. His eyes still soften when he sees a familiar face. He’s been wonderful with kids and recently stole the show as the guest of honor at the Grand Island Area Farmers Market.

Funshine doesn’t always get along with other dogs, and he’ll need a cat-free home. But what he really needs is someone who sees past the kennel walls and recognizes the bright, loyal companion waiting on the other side.

💛 If you think you could be the one to bring the sunshine back into his life, come meet him. He’s been waiting for you—and we promise, he hasn’t given up hope.
