    I came in to meet a kitten I saw online. He was already adopted to I was told I could walk through where the other cats are if I wanted to. Lou came out from under a couch and stole my heart. He's an 8 year old boy who was surrendered by his family. How can I leave him there??? So he came home with me. Here is the part I never expected: they've called to check in on US. they send surveys out at interval to see how things are going. They alway answer the phone if there's an issue. They support the families who adopt pets. I love the kind staff and I love what they do for these animals. Please adopt- don't shop.

    This event was so informative. It was a real eye opener. So many dogs and cats looking for their forever homes. I wish I could take them all. Great event. Best part of the evening was the puppy kissing booth. I couldn't get enough of the puppy kisses. Please stop in and take a look around. You are sure to fall in love

    They are not related but looks like they could be. Kirby on the left, renamed Dr. Foxie (Dr. McStuffins in the humane society) on the right.

    I'm so thankful for the Nevada Humane Society! I got my two kitties from them. One of them the most social, wanting loves all the time. The other one the Reno humane society saw his anxiety and decided to transfer him to Carson. Now THATS how you take care of an animal. Realizing they might need different accommodations.

    Today I adopted my 2nd kitty. I named him Poppy. I adopted Banyon and he is nearly 1 year old and it was such a great experience adopting with the Nevada Humane Society, Today I have a new baby kitty. Banyon and Poppy will grow up as brothers. This is the proudest day. I love the Nevada Humane Society. Thank you to Tara Clark, Cat Staff who put Poppy in my hands. I was kissed 2 times and then he was mine! lol A big Thank you also to Nina M who was my adoption Adoption Specialist. This is the 2nd time I rang the BELL. Another kitty was adopted to a good home today...my h

    I don't know what happened to this place; we adopted three of our dogs from the Nevada Humane Society in the past, and the process was streamlined and simple. Recently, we visited them intent on adopting a new fur-baby since my 18-year old dog passed away before Christmas of this year. I personally have visited the facility at least 4 or 5 times now and each dog I've asked about is either "on hold" for someone else, not available because for one reason or something else. When I tried putting a dog on hold when I visited after work, the front desk guy said I couldn't do that. A couple of days after New Years, I left work early so that I can be there right as they opened at 11am but the tech said the dog I was scheduled to meet was uncooperative and none of the techs could leash it. I'm happy for the dogs that get adopted but at the same time, the adoption process is chaotic, the place is a madhouse, and some volunteers can be a bit curt. The kennels aren't maintained, some dogs are locked in with feces or sick and they show visible signs of open sores or some infection on their skins. The most demoralizing part of each visit is if the dogs are unavailable, then please put a sign on their cage doors stating so, that way you don't get someone's hopes up. The adoption process leaves the person (and probably the animal) both physically and emotionally drained; rejection after rejection, going to the Humane Society to adopt a dog has been an excruciating and torturous experience.

    The woman helping procure the adoption was abrupt borderline rude. We choose a dog & waited an 1hr for a private meeting with the dog. The Dog costed $75 and we were warned that if she ran away or we didn't get her next shots or didn't register her w/in 24 hrs we would be Fined $400!! All we were provided with was a leash that was the size of an Adidas shoe string for a 53 lbs dog going with strangers. Which I had to practically beg for a leash. The dog chewed thru the string "leash" on the way home putting the dog & the new owners in danger.

The park is plenty big for the event, but lacks any shade for humans or pets. And by the opening at 10 am it was getting pretty warm. Wild Island sponsored four covered areas with large wading pools for the pets to cool off in. There could have been a few more drinking water areas, although I always carry my own in case. The event was set up in a large circle of awning for each vendor. There were several adoption agencies to look at and even take home a new loved today. It wasn't really advertised as a recue pet event, but that is what I truly took from it. It was nice to see so many organizations that take in various animals and trying to relocate them to loving homes. There were also tents that offered pet supplies, boarding facilities and groomers. For those who brought their 2 legged kids there was an area for them to enjoy with a bounce house and rock climbing wall. A couple of food trucks were also on hand to feed humans. Jump from Vegas set up some bleachers and an arena for agility runs and three dog performances. It was cool that the owner noted all his dogs in the show were all rescues. It seemed very busy for the early time I was there and yet there was plenty of space for everyone to move around with out getting their noses and tails out of joint. I hope they do even better next year and will watch for the event again

This…read morehusband‑and‑wife team, Dr. Sharon Dose and Dr. Tom Dose, is truly exceptional: pragmatic, efficient, well‑organized, honest, and incredibly thorough. After visiting many veterinarians over the years, this is hands‑down one of the best places I will ever take my small dog. Our Bichon Frise, Aspen, came to us almost a year ago from a horrific puppy mill, and today was his very first anesthesia dental cleaning. I'm a huge fan of Dr. Karen Shaw Becker and her book The Forever Dog, and after reading her sobering statistic--"By age 3, 80% of dogs have periodontal disease, most of it below the gumline where bone loss, abscesses, and tumors go undetected"--I knew I had to get his teeth taken care of right away. From the very first visit, I was impressed. Parking is easy, the location is simple to find, and Dr. Sharon Dose personally handles everything from answering phones and booking appointments to performing thorough exams. She provided clear estimates without me having to ask (unlike many other vets in town), and she even took the time to show me exactly how to brush Aspen's teeth properly at home. No other vet has ever done that. The day of the procedure (early Sunday morning), their thoughtfulness truly shone. We received clear pre‑op instructions, a straightforward bill breakdown, detailed emails before pickup, a phone call with updates, and even a look at the decaying tooth they removed. Everything was handled with skill, excellent time management, professionalism, and genuine care. Their passion for keeping pets' teeth healthy is obvious. We're deeply grateful for the tooth extraction and the thorough cleaning. Aspen's teeth are now sparkly white, his breath smells so much better, and--most importantly--we know he was in the best hands possible. Their honesty, knowledge, and non‑predatory pricing make them absolute gems in the Reno/Tahoe community. I truly wish more people operated with their level of integrity and heart. If you have a small dog, do yourself a favor and go see them. You won't find a more hardworking, caring, or trustworthy team. Highly recommend for your fur babies!

Throughout my stay they gave us food to be able to provide a Christmas dinner to our families, birthday baskets for our children, and countless other forms of support! They provided my daughter and I stability, which I can never thank them enough for!! While in the program I was able to attend classes such as book club, financial literacy, and support group. They even paid for therapy! I met with a financial coach every 2 weeks and she taught me how to keep a budget, pay off debt, save, and get back on my feet. I learned so many skills in the program, and these ladies are incredible! They are there to support you every step of the way. When you're in a DV situation it can feel very lonely, but they are always there for you in moments of need! Never in a million years did I think I would have been in that situation, but thank God they were there when I was! I will forever be grateful to these women for helping give my baby and me a great life. I am now in my own apartment, could afford a car, and am able to stand on my own 2 feet and be a proud mom. Thank you DVRC for all of your hard work to assisting women in DV situations. You have changed so many lives for the better!
