Above The Notch Humane Society in Franconia, NH
Above The Notch Humane Society is a no-kill 501(c)(3) humane society based in Franconia, New Hampshire, in Grafton County, serving Littleton, Bethlehem, Sugar Hill, Easton, Lisbon, and other surrounding White Mountains communities. It focuses specifically on stray and surrendered dogs, providing food, shelter, socialization, and veterinary care, including spay/neuter and vaccinations, before dogs are listed for adoption on their website and Petfinder. The adoption process includes a written application, reference checks, and a family meet-and-greet with the dog, with the goal of making each placement the first and final adoption. Six other animal shelters and rescues are also located in Grafton County, and the organization sits about 40 miles west of Barre, Vermont.
