The National Humane Education Society (NHES) is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization with a central mission to foster a sentiment of kindness to animals in children and adults. We have three major programs to include: The Briggs Animal Adoption Center, consisting of about 70 dogs and 100 cats, Spay Today, offering low cost spay/neuter services to the community, and our Humane Education department, putting an end to animal abuse and neglect through education.
