    Recently conducted some business with Nevada SPCA regarding an urgent/sensitive matter. And I muct say every single employee that I encountered during my brief visit with my two pups were fantastic. They were nice, they were polite, very professional, and it seemed as if they genuinely cared. I mean to work at this sort of establishment. You have to be some sort of animal lover and all of the lovely ladies that I encountered were pretty great at their jobs. The entire process was quick and rather easy. All of the stuff made it as smooth as humanly possible. All of the staff that I engaged with on the day of my visit to Nevada SPCA truly and deeply has my gratitude...... we'll miss you Raider:)

    Our new kitten

    We recently adopted a wonderful boy kitten from the Nevada SPCA. They were wonderful during every single step. We got him as an FTA (foster-to-adopt) and they were there for us when we had to relinquish him, and they were there for us when we realized we couldn't live without him. There was no judgement, no misgivings at all. We were treated with the utmost respect and understanding. These people are seriously angels. Our kitten had tummy problems and their vet took excellent care of him and gave us what we needed to take excellent care of him at home. Then we took him back to get neutered and the surgery went perfectly and we finalized the adoption. The whole experience was perfect and I highly, highly recommend the SPCA

    Stopped by to drop off some old newspaper as their website had it on their "needs" list. My dad is old-school so he really enjoys having his paper delivered daily and which means we have a ton of old newspapers piled up. The parking lot was pretty full and when I entered the building it had a great vibe going on. Everyone was bustling about and were very interactive with the customers and each other. A girl came out from the backdoor and asked if I needed some assistance. I told her I was there to drop off some old newspaper and she looked confused. I let her know that it was on their website and she said ok, I'm sure we'll find some use for them. I really wanted to walk through and see the animals, but I knew that I would breakdown and wind up taking one home. I already have 2 dogs and 3 fish, I don't need any additional pets at the moment. But that could always change in the near future. Keep up the good work Nevada SPCA.

    Cat medicine

    The SPCA is great most of the time. This time they failed. This is "baker" and he's between 5-7 years old. He has the worst tummy problems. We were told he needed a specialized diet forever (hills biome) and after a couple of days we could introduce him to the house and our other cat. We said no problem and brought him home. 36 hours later we're at the vet because is diarrhea is so bad. The vets do a fecal matter PCR and it comes back positive for tritrichomonas. It's HIGHLY contagious and he needs meds ASAP. The only known cure is not available and no compounding pharmacy can make the meds so we were given these as a hope they can help him. We do another fecal matter test in 10 days to see what improvements have been made. We will figure this out. SPCA, you need to do better.

    Just a small area where he bled, this wasn't even half of it.

    This is going to be a long one! But please read if you are going to adopt here. I recently adopted a dog and very unfortunately had to return him 24 hours later. I don't fully blame the staff but there were definitely a few miscommunications and it felt like they were rushing to just get the dog out. Full transparency we adopted "Hobbs" he was posted on the 19th, I went the next morning to do a meet and greet and he seemed very playful, not aggressive, a little on the wild side but he's a bully breed and we have one at home already so it's nothing we aren't used too. They noted that he had a mounting problem but that was pretty much the only downfall. He was 7 years old they noted he had experience with kids and limited experience with other dogs. They were ready to check me out as soon as I finished the meet and greet but I decided to come back later with my current dog and my toddler to see how they all interact. That went good, they approved of the adoption and we took him home. First miscommunication was the price. First girl that helped me in the morning said he was $65 and online it said he was $65. When finalizing everything the girl checking me out told me it would be $150, she said the first girl was new and might not have known. I didn't argue it and just paid it, my mistake. I double checked online when I got home which I should've done when I was there because sure enough online it said $65 too. So please confirm price before you move on to the final steps. After everything was finalized and we were about to leave they decided to tell me to watch out for him bleeding that he had opened his incision site from being neutered a little bit from and made himself bleed. Well that night he started bleeding and it was not from the incision it was from the tip of his penis when he would get aroused. We left him in the kitchen/dining room over night and kept an eye on him. The next morning was like a murder scene, there was blood everywhere and again not from the incision. He also did not respond to any sort of verbal commands which they said he was good with, could've been the new environment but there was absolutely no response to anything. He was definitely not potty trained, again I was expecting some accidents due to the new environment but even outside he would not pee in the grass or rocks he would stop and pee in the middle of the sidewalk and street. The mounting was actually not a problem for us he didn't attempt to mount anything.He did get a little aggressive with my husband though and bit him. He also had a major chewing problem, we have a toddler who is very playful but that was hard with this dog because he would just steal her toys and chew them then get aggressive when you try to take them and we didn't want to risk him snapping at her. Ultimately we made the decision to take him back because him being 7 years old already is going to make it very hard to train him. We were not expecting him to be perfect but being 7 we at least expected him to be house trained. We were given information that he responded to verbal commands and was very treat forward but we could not get him to accept any treats. Now when I went to return him is when the issues began. I immediately told them that he had been bleeding a lot but NOT from the incision. I was checking my email after I got home and saw the information email for him and can still see vet records and they updated today saying we returned him saying he was bleeding from his incision due to mounting objects in the home which is not at all what we said. He didn't mount a single item in the home and I made sure to tell them it was not coming from the incision. This mounting issue seems to be the main thing they push when it wasn't even the problem for us. One of the girls had a bad attitude the entire time and didn't even want to hear us out as to what our experience was with him. I explained the issues with the chewing toys and thats when we learned his experience with children was with older children 8+, which would have been nice to know beforehand. We also learned he had never interacted with other dogs in his 7 years with the previous owner which also would've been nice to know not that it was just "limited" I mean yes we did introduce our dog at their facility first and it went good but had I known he had never been around another dog in 7 years I probably wouldn't have moved forward with him. Overall I feel like the staff rushed to get him out, left out important details of his history, charged me double, and put false information on his vet records. I'm sure he will be back up for adoption in the next day or two and I'm sure they will push the problem being his mounting again and leave out all the other information. So please if you consider adopting Hobbs or any other dog make sure to ask any and all questions you can think of and double and triple check on the important ones.

    I have experience with these folks from both their old location and the new. My late guinea pig Gizmo was a rescue from their old location, and the staff was so warm and caring at that time. It was just as important to the people there to place a guinea pig in a good home as a dog or cat. Fast forward to a week or two ago. I have anxiety issues as well as a few other challenges, and after losing Gizmo to a tumor it was recommended to me that I move forward with getting a dog. Naturally, the SPCA was my first choice to find a new friend. I met a dog named Charles that I fell madly for, but he got adopted before I got a chance to get my ESA letter. Enter Sam, one of the best assets at the SPCA. Sam is hands-down one of the kindest, most patient people I've ever met. I was able to be honest with her about my situation and why I was looking for a dog, and she went so far above and beyond to try and match me with a dog that met my needs and that would also be a good fit for the dog. She introduced me to Zeke, and I was pretty sure he was the one. But...I had to get that ESA letter. Once I had the letter (just a day or two later), I went back to take another look at Zeke. Sam was out, but Blake stepped in to help me with the process. He was so kind and non-judgemental about my hesitance to move forward as I was experiencing quite a bit of anxiety over the decision-making. Blake made it super-easy for me to take Zeke out for a Field Trip, where we got to spend the weekend with him and decide if it was the right fit. The right fit is putting it mildly. Zeke is an epic dog, completely full of love with zero bad habits and nothing to untrain, plus he's smart as heck and is already enriching my life tremendously. I went back last week and did the formal adoption on Zeke, and I'm so happy Sam was there so I could thank her in person for all that she did to contribute to Zeke and I ending up together. Everyone at the SPCA has been absolutely marvelous, but both Sam and Blake will forever have my heart for their incredible patience and care with me.

    We pick up every other month from their pet food pantry, which is an awesome program they offer. I always make sure there's enough time to stop by and say hello to all the kitties there as well.

    We adopted our Rottie named Jaxi in 2014, when she was 1.5 years old. Because the Nevada SPCA saved her, she saved us. Jaxi passed 8/13 from complications due to a spinal injury and paralysis of her back half. It broke us. Today, we honored her by donating her favorite blankets and unopened dog food to the shelter that brought her into our lives. We thank you for what you do.

We are here for the holidays and it was her first time in Nevada so we wanted to give her a groom experience over here. I'm glad we chose this place because the hand scissor skills and experience was top tier! They actually do get spoiled. She got her photos taken during the groom and after! Her hair was very soft and she smelled so good. There were still some armpit knots afterwards but it was very minimal and hard to spot so missing it was very likely but not impossible. I know Ginger is not fond of having her under brushed so I think her groomer did not want to force it on her and prioritized her comfort which I definitely understand and would rather prefer it that way. Her overall cut was honestly very surprising to me. It was very symmetrical, detailed and polished. I can usually tell when they cut more clipper focused (from bringing her to different groomers which let me see the different styles--I'm picky) because some thigh edges get left out, some indents get visible, and it ends up being a random longer tuft of hair though in this cut there was visibly none. The hair her groomer cut (or Kandice in particular) was molded and shaped well. She nailed the round face, her legs and the start of her tail by her butt looks more flushed and it feels flowy. It's hard to explain. There was a tuft of hair by her butt before that didn't really flush the start of her tail and now it's basically cut well--I feel like I'm saying jargon at this point but you have to see/feel it in person to tell. The cut by her visor was also so admirable. It looks so straight and detailed; I'm so happy with it. I can tell she took her time, and that Ginger was comfortable enough to let her do it. I'm pretty sure it's a given with all the pictures you see here. Them taking pics of the pups before and after just shows how confident they are in the final look. I'm really satisfied with how she cut Ginger's hair! This raised my standards a lot more with hand-scissor cutting and I fear I might have to start looking again around Torrance sigh. Now, the store itself. In the morning when I dropped her off I got the strong dog odor smell when I opened the door which I'm not fond of, because her groomers at home do not have that so it's possible to mask the smell. Though when I picked her up the store smelled okay, so it might have been one of the clients, but just a heads up that it can be one or the other. The entry experience was awkward, but nothing bad. They just don't greet you until you get to the register bahaha. Their merchandise was so cute. I wish I budgeted for that, but it'll have to be for next time. The price was a little inconsistent as well because before when I called they said that it would be around $90 since the groomer I chose is $20 above the beginning price of $70, but I ended up paying for $100 and some change. I didn't mind because the matts might've been the issue and we usually pay around that price back at home, but just be prepared to bring extra. They cut really well so I had no issues paying more than I was quoted for, but some people might not be. This is where I take off a star when it's regarding the storefront and the pricing. Regardless, all-in-all great visit with some minor understandable inconveniences. They take their time with your pup, they SPOIL them. Their hand-scissor skills are very proficient, and you get cute pics of your pup depending on the season! There is no doubt when they take care of your pup. Thank you so much for taking care of our little Ginger during her vacation at Nevada. We will definitely come back if we stay here with her again next holiday when we come back to visit my husband's family. Thank you Kandice! Happy holidays!

Despite this request, someone else took my dog to the back. I asked for Stephanie and she assured me that Stephanie was in the back and that she was just there to assist. While Scarlet was in the back, I could hear her crying. When she was brought out, I saw that her nails had been clipped and were bleeding, which was very upsetting. When I calmly asked for clarification or simply the opportunity to speak with Stephanie. Stacie, the receptionist, gave me the run around that Stephanie was too busy to come out and talk to me. She told me to just leave a note for her or call management. I said that I would wait no matter how long it will take. A few minutes passed and Stacie told me that Stephanie refused to talk to me regarding Scarlet and she doesn't want to be requested to always take Scarlet back since they have other technicians who could. If that was the case, I could've ask for another person that Scarlet was familiar with. Given that Stephanie has worked with Scarlet for years, this response made no sense and felt intentionally deflective. If Stephanie was present, I strongly believe she would have been willing to speak with me, especially under these circumstances. Being denied a basic conversation after a pet was injured is unacceptable, and front desk staff should not act as a barrier when a client is seeking answers. I do want to note that Dr. Ghuman is an excellent doctor, and we truly trust and appreciate her. Our issue is not with her or the other receptionist that works there, Julieann and Elisha are awesome, but with Stacie and how Stacie handled this situation, which showed a lack of professionalism, transparency, and basic customer care. I strongly encourage management to review front desk protocols, communication standards, and how client concerns are escalated, so situations like this are handled appropriately in the future. I'm sharing this so other pet owners are aware and can make informed decisions about who is handling their pet and how concerns are addressed at this facility.
