LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Capital Humane Society in Lincoln broke a record in 2025, helping animals find their forever homes.

On Wednesday, Matt Madcharo, the executive director at the Capital Humane Society, said 3,903 pets have been adopted so far this year.

It’s the most adoptions ever in a single year at the shelter.
