Meet Milo and Loki, our Pets of the Week! 🐱🐱

These handsome fellas are 7 year-old bonded brothers who have been in our care for about two weeks.

Together they make the perfect pair. Loki is a social butterfly, always ready to greet you with head bumps and looking for attention. Milo is a little more independent and laid-back. He is just as sweet, though, and happy to share his love once he’s settled in.

The two of them are curious, loving, and full of personality. They will need a little time to adjust to a new home, but will reward your patience with a lot of love.❤️

We are also offering 50% off adoptions on all adult cats that have been our care for at least a week, so come on down to our Reno campus to meet Milo, Loki, or any of our other adoptable cats!

Also a big, big, big thank you to Port of Subs - Your Neighborhood Sandwich Shop ubs for sponsoring all of June’s Pets of the week! their support means the world to us and to our wonderful furry friends.❤️

Happy Metrics Monday! 🐾

As of 7pm Sunday, June 21st, we have 631 animals in our care – 65 less animals from the previous week. We have 38 at our Carson Campus, 276 at our Reno Campus, and 317 in the care of our foster volunteers. The Carson Campus dog kennels are at 26% capacity, and the Reno Campus dog kennels are at 63% capacity.

Intakes
182 animals came into our campuses last week. NHS received 50 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (seven less animals from the previous week), 13 Strays (12 less than the previous week) and 41 Strays too young for adoption (34 less from the previous week). We transferred 51 cats, 18 dogs, and one small animal from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services. Eight cats were transferred from other partners.

Outcomes
145 cats, 64 dogs, and eight small animals were adopted last week – this is 16 more cats, 18 more dogs and five more small animals compared to the previous week. We were able to reunite two dogs and two cats with their owners (four less dogs and one more cat compared to the previous week).

16 animals were humanely euthanized last week; 10 were due to illness, injuries or quality of life, and six were due to behavior. As the community’s safety net, we take these decisions to heart. They are made only when all other options have been exhausted, and always with kindness, respect, and the goal of preventing suffering. These moments are incredibly difficult for our team; each one weighs heavily, as our staff care deeply about every animal that comes through our doors.

Community Support
Last week we received 31 surrender requests for cats and 73 surrender requests for dogs. The median time between a completed application to surrender appointment last week was five days for cats and five days for dogs. Same day emergency surrender appointments are available every day for situations that require immediate relinquishment.

📣 New Hours, Same Mission!

Starting July 6, our Reno campus will be open for adoptions Tuesday–Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and closed on Mondays.

By dedicating Mondays to pet care, enrichment, training, and preparing animals for adoption, we can better serve the pets in our care and help more of them find loving homes.

All other services, including owner surrenders and clinic services, remain unchanged.

Thank you for your support as we continue working to provide the best possible care for Northern Nevada's pets. ❤️🐾

Meet Addison, a local seven-year-old with a big love for animals and an even bigger heart for giving back! Three years ago, she started a lemonade stand to raise money for pets in need at Nevada Humane Society. 🍋

This year alone, she raised an incredible $1,893, bringing her three-year total to $5,693. She then used those funds to shop for some of the most-needed items on our wish list.

Addison and her family delivered two carloads of donations, including pet food, toys, blankets, treats, and beds. One of our smallest residents was there to thank this cat-loving girl in person! 🐱

We're so grateful to Addison for her compassion, generosity, and commitment to helping pets. Thank you to everyone in our community who supported her lemonade stand and helped make this amazing donation possible.🐾
