Cocheco Valley Humane Society (CVHS) is a nonprofit organization focused on domestic animal welfare, operating as a community-driven shelter in Dover, New Hampshire. Established in 1984, CVHS serves the animal-related needs of Strafford County and extends assistance to residents of southern Maine, providing temporary sheltering for surrendered, lost, abused, neglected, or unwanted animals. The organization relies entirely on community support and does not receive funding from state or federal sources, positioning itself as a local sheltering and welfare resource within the hospitals and health care sector. In addition to housing more than 1,500 animals annually, CVHS offers services to thousands of other animals and collaborates with local partners on programs and events, including partnerships with community organizations and local businesses. The facility is located in the Strafford County Complex, and its operations emphasize humane treatment and community-based care for animals in the region.
