That means your donation will provide pets with twice the number of lifesaving care, rescue from neglectful or dangerous situations and, ultimately, adoptions into loving homes.

No registration is needed. You are welcome to simply show up.

Our group facilitator is Kendra McCallie, who has been a mental health therapist for 25 years. She has experience working in hospitals, community health centers and now, seventeen years in private practice. She is an animal lover who has also experienced the loss of a beloved pet. She looks forward to bringing together others, who are grieving their loss, to share our stories and find support and understanding.

This group meets in the NHS Friends Forever room. Friends Forever is located inside the door nearest 90th street on the NHS campus, located at 8929 Fort Street.

Join NHS Friends Forever as we raise a glass for the animals at our annual Wine Fest. Our adoptable pets provide entertainment! AND we will also have talented, local artists – Jimmy D & TwiLea – in attendance.

Your ticket will allow you to taste exquisite wine, snack on an impressive charcuterie board, enjoy live music, bid on several silent auction items and say hello to the cutest guests you’ve ever seen at a wine tasting!

2025 Wine Fest
Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025
6-8 p.m.
Nebraska Humane Society (8929 Fort Street)

Sponsored by: Joan Moritz & Kami Lamb

Tickets are limited, so get yours today here!
Check back soon to see the Silent Auction.

*The food and wine selections for this tasting have already been chosen. We will not be able to accommodate for any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Every First Friday of the month, NHS partners with the Omaha Public Library to offer reading to shelter pets.

•        Kiddos accompanied by an adult can choose a book (or bring their favorite)
•        Pick a dog or cat (or critter) who needs a little attention.
•        Reading to them helps ease anxiety, and they really like the TLC!
•        We have treats to toss to dogs
•        Often have a few other activities like dog bingo, or sidewalk chalk decorating!

Drop in any time between 3-6 p.m. to join in on the fun! No registration is needed, and you can arrive any time between 3-6!

We are partnering with the Meadowlark Resolution Run from Jan. 1-10 for a virtual movement. Whether you want to walk a mile, run an ultramarathon or do anything between – at any speed or increment – you are more than welcome to join.

What counts toward your mileage?

Walking your dog
Walking your cat
Walking at the store
Jogging at the gym
Nervously pacing your house during January football games
Pretty much anything else!

Your registration includes a beanie, gloves, medal, race bib and a digital finisher badge. Plus $1 per mile will go toward helping animals in need. This is our first time doing this event, so let’s see how far we can take it!
