Nevada Humane Society: Bringing Animals and People Together Since 1932
News

Every Tuesday in February & March is Tuxedo Tuesday.


Adopt a black or black & white dog or cat for half off the current adoption fee.

Below are ten very good reasons to adopt a black or black/white Tuxedo pet:

  1. They are always sleek, stylish and elegant looking.
  2. They are hard to lose in a snowstorm.
  3. Black fur won’t show up on your chic black clothing so you won’t need to use a lint roller.
  4. Statistically speaking, they are just as friendly as other dogs and cats.
  5. They are happier because they look thinner!
  6. In many cultures, they are considered GOOD luck.
  7. They can be slimming when draped over your lap.
  8. They look great wearing any color of sweater, bandana or collar because everything goes with black.
  9. They are always appropriately dressed at cocktail parties.
  10. They take the longest to get adopted and need your help the most!!!

Homes Needed for Barn Cats


Photo by Clay Myers

A feral cat will keep your barn rodent free for the price of daily cat food, and you'll be helping to save a life!

We have several beautiful, healthy, neutered and vaccinated feral cats that are looking for outdoor homes with a barn, shed, or other shelter.

If you would like to adopt a barn cat (or several) e-mail us at info@nevadahumanesociety.org or call 775-856-2000 ext. 200.

The Animals Need You!

Volunteering to help the animals is a great way to start off the New Year! Perhaps you would like to help by working with the animals directly. Maybe you could provide a foster home for a dog or cat or become an adoption volunteer at the shelter. On the other hand, you might prefer to help out at outreach events or offer your professional skills to help the animals. We have a whole list of volunteer opportunities. Please take a look at our volunteer application and opportunities today.

NHS has No Affiliation with Michael Vick

Many of you have contacted us about convicted dogfighter Michael Vick’s recent reinstatement to the National Football League and his new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Through your letters, calls and emails, it is apparent that some of you may be confusing Nevada Humane Society with a separate organization that has entered into a relationship with Michael Vick. It is The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) that is working with Michael Vick on an anti-dogfighting campaign, not Nevada Humane Society.

Nevada Humane Society is an independent non-profit organization with no affiliation with HSUS or any other humane society. HSUS does not dictate or influence policies at NHS, nor do they provide any funding to NHS. We are different organizations with different approaches to accomplishing our respective missions.

Nevada Humane Society is in no way affiliated or aligned with Michael Vick and we are absolutely outraged and heartbroken by Michael Vick’s actions.
