Meet Carley, our incredible Foster Program Supervisor, who has been a part of the NHS family for nearly ✨9 years!✨ Starting her journey on Cat Staff, Carley quickly became a champion for our tiniest and most vulnerable residents—neonatal kittens😺

Over the past 8 years, Carley's dedication has been nothing short of inspiring. She’s trained thousands of volunteers in critical kitten care, built incredible relationships with fosters, and fostered thousands of kittens herself (even before joining NHS!). Last year alone, she personally fostered over 270 pets 🎉💖

Carley’s passion, tireless commitment, and contagious compassion have driven instrumental changes in our foster program, creating a brighter future for every little life that comes through our doors. She truly is the backbone of our fostering efforts and glue to our community of kitten lovers. Thank you, Carley, for everything you do! Words cannot nearly express the deep admiration and appreciation we have for you💕

Copper and Bertha soaked in all the love on their rainy day dog dates yesterday☔💖🐾

Copper enjoyed a beautiful hike with his date, enjoying all the smells and never pulling on the leash once. He was sweet with all the new people he got to meet and made himself right at home as they stopped by his date’s apartment in between activities. Copper enjoyed plenty of treats too! He especially loved the pup cup🐾

Bertha enjoyed a nice indoor date for her rainy day, exploring Scheels. Bertha was excited for all the new sights and smells, but her date noticed she’d much prefer a leisurely outdoor adventure with less hustle and bustle. Noticing that, they decided to take Bertha on a calm walk outdoors, trying their best to avoid the rain. In dog date fashion, they ended their day with a pup cup and a scenic route back to campus💖

Thank you such much to our Dog Daters for taking Copper and Bertha on their adventures yesterday 🐾✨ They had a wonderful time💖

Interested in our sweet pups Copper and Bertha, come visit them at our Reno campus today✨or check out the link in our bio to learn more🔗🐶

Today, we're celebrating someone who truly embodies the heart and soul of NHS—Cherry, our incredible Cat Team Manager! 🐱💖

Cherry has been with us for ✨over 8 years✨, and in that time, she’s become so much more than just a manager—she’s a leader, a role model, a friend, and a source of wisdom for so many of us. Whether it’s her team, her colleagues, or even the cats themselves, Cherry’s compassion and leadership are felt by everyone around her.

Cherry is always there to offer advice, support, or just a friendly chat, making her the ultimate go-to person. Her love and respect for both her team and the animals are truly unmatched, and her unwavering commitment to creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone is something we deeply admire.

Cherry’s dedication and kindness have helped shape a culture of compassion here at NHS, and we’re so lucky to have her as part of our family. Thank you, Cherry. Your kindness, dedication, and hard work mean the world to us (and the cats couldn’t agree more)! We’re so grateful for you and all the love you put into everything you do🐾

Help us show some appreciation for cherry in the comments below💖🎉

We absolutely love how mission-driven and dedicated our team members are🐾✨

People often say, “It must be so hard to work here,” and honestly, it’s a bit of a bittersweet experience. The bonds we form with the pets in our care are so special, and while it’s always tough to go our separate ways, nothing beats the joy of seeing them walk out the door with their forever family. Until that magical moment, we do our best to make their stay as welcoming, loving, and fun as possible—because that’s exactly what they deserve💖

And sometimes our team goes above and beyond, like Jade, one of our amazing Animal Care Associates. This week, Jade gave Mallory, one of our available pups, the ultimate doggy day out!✨🐶 Mallory enjoyed a kennel break filled with belly rubs, tasty treats, and a whole lot of adventure. Just look at that smile—it says it all!

When Mallory returned to us in early January, she was nervous and shy, finding comfort in the bed of her kennel. But Jade, being the compassionate superstar she is, wasn’t about to let Mallory feel alone. Each day, Jade makes it her mission to give Mallory a little extra love and care—complete with nightly snuggles and a sweet “goodnight” before heading home. Talk about dedication!🎉

Thank you, Jade, for giving Mallory the extra love and care she deserves. We’re so lucky to have compassionate team members like you!✨💖

Happy 🐱🎉

Meet Nami! Nami is 6 years old and has been in our care since early February.

This sweet and slightly independent lady thrives in a quiet environment where she can relax, cuddle, and occasionally show off her playful side. While she can be a bit shy and prefers a home without other pets or young kids, she adores older kids and adults who can be understanding of her personality🐾

If you’re someone who appreciates a loyal, cuddle-loving companion and can offer Nami the calm, loving space she deserves, she’d love to meet you! 💖🐱

Nami is residing at our Carson City campus! To learn more about our Caturday star, visit our website through the link below or come visit with her today!

These adventurous pups had so much fun on their dog dates🐾✨

🐶Kinko was such a gentleman on his date. He was described as a wonderful walker, unphased by his surroundings and giving his attention to his loving companion. He didn't even beg once around his dater’s tasty lunch, but he happily stayed close for a fallen crumb or two💖

🐶Maverick enjoyed a leisurely walk with a great view and showed off his relaxed nature as he had some restful moments during their hike🐾

🐶Our Pet of the Week, Rocket, took a peaceful nap on their car ride, walked great on the leash and is very treat motivated! He happily showed off his manners and shared a great experience on his date💖

Kinko, Maverick and Rocket are available for adoption at our Reno campus and can't wait to meet you! Come by today to meet your furry soulmate and provide these adventurous pups with the loving forever home they deserve 🏡🐾

✨Meet Rocket, our Pet of the Week!✨

This sweet and playful 6-year-old Pit Bull Terrier is looking for a loving home! ❤️  

Rocket is a fetch-loving, well-mannered pup who keeps his kennel tidy and does well with scheduled potty times. While he can be a little shy at first, once he warms up to you, his affectionate and friendly personality shines through. Plus, he does well on the leash!🐾

Rocket would benefit from calm, slow introductions to new people and places and is searching for a forever family to help him feel comfortable and loved. He also has a playful side that can bring joy into any home🏠

👉 Note: Rocket has mild dental disease, so regular vet checkups will help in monitoring his health

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a love for playtime, Rocket would love to meet you! 💕  

Come meet Rocket at our Reno campus and see if he’s the pup you’ve been looking for! 🏠
