Community
Being involved in our community is incredibly important to us.
These are some of the ways we’re involved.
Pet Food Pantry
Life can throw unexpected challenges and we understand that caring for your pet might become difficult at times. We’re here to help! If you find yourself in need of dog or cat food, know that we’ve got your back. Our doors are open to lend a helping hand, judgment-free. We won’t ask any invasive questions because we understand that everyone faces ups and downs. Just give us a call, and we’ll check the availability of pet food for you. We’re here to support you and your pet whenever you need it.
Lost Animal SUPPORT
Sometimes pets slip out an open door, jump a fence, or simply wander off. When that happens, the Conway Area Humane Society is here to help.
We provide a safe and caring environment for stray animals brought in by citizens or animal control officers. While in our care, these animals receive food and shelter. Strays are held for seven days to give their owners a chance to reclaim them. If unclaimed, they become eligible for adoption after all medical needs have been addressed.

Help us reunite animals with their families by filling out this form to report a lost or found pet.
After submitting the form, social media is a great next step. Posting in local community groups can quickly spread the word and increase the chances of a reunion.

Please microchip and register your pets!
This simple step can make all the difference in reuniting you with a lost animal. Most animal welfare organizations and many law enforcement agencies have scanners that can instantly identify a pet’s home through their microchip.
All animals adopted from CAHS are microchipped before going home. If your pet wasn’t adopted through us and you’d like to learn more about microchipping, we’re happy to help — just reach out!

Lifelong Friends
Our homeless animals need company, and many seniors could benefit from having someone to love. This program looks to connect senior citizens with senior pets. CAHS offers this service free of charge and commits to take back the animal if the person is no longer able to care for the pet.
Education
Conway Area Humane Society is all about education. By teaching our community about animal welfare, we hope to further the compassionate treatment of animals. CAHS provides educational outreach programs to schools, civic groups and the community in the form of informational talks, school visits, live and virtual events, field trips, after school programs, and more. Educational topics include:
- What we do at CAHS
- Humane treatment of animals
- Animal rights issues
- Safety around dogs and cats
- Animal related careers
- Animal laws and policies
- Understanding animal behavior
- Proper pet care
- Nutrition and exercise
- Medical care
- And more!
Our programs extend beyond the classroom. CAHS provides support groups for animal owners as well as fun, recreational events that the whole family (furry friends and all) can attend. We extend this work outside of our walls, providing digital access to events and site visits into the community.
Cruelty Case Assistance
The Conway Area Humane Society partners with 18 towns across Carroll and Coos counties to support animals in need — especially those impacted by cruelty or neglect.
While our staff does not have the legal authority to investigate cruelty cases directly, we work closely with local law enforcement and animal control officers to care for animals removed from unsafe situations.
If you suspect animal cruelty or neglect, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team is trained to guide you through the proper steps to report concerns to the appropriate authorities.
Call us at (603) 447-5955
Or email info@conwayhumane.org
Together, we can be a voice for the voiceless.
Community Events Enrichment Room
Our new Community Events Enrichment Room, unveiled in 2020, is a prime location for all in-person outreach and live stream broadcasts. From pet photo shoots to engaging fundraisers and summer camps to children’s story times, the possibilities are endless for this new space. For information on renting the room, please contact volunteer@conwayhumane.org.
