Homes Needed for Barn Cats
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.
