We went here yesterday with our pup Chopper so he can have a sister maybe a brother? The previous night I saw a picture of a dog named pumpkin who looked exactly like him on the face! We met pumpkin and her and chopper played fetch together, my boyfriend did not want to leave without her and I was easily convinced since he used this as an early birthday excuse. We adopted pumpkin formerly named Nami. And for all the bad reviews about the donations and such they get A LOT of donations and they are very giving!!! We got a new bed, harness, collar, coupons, leash, sample foods and so much more! I saw a bad review on here about an employee taking donations from the towel thing for herself and that's only because they already have A LOT like it's overflowing that they let me take home whatever donations were there! This place is caring and the interview they have with you before adopting is very intense only because they want to make sure the baby will be going to the right Home. We've renamed pumpkin her name is now Nami and her and Chopper get along perfectly! She's like her shy older sister and he's the overprotective little brother thank you NSPCA read more

The NSPCA puts their cats first. They live in free-roaming condos with lots of sunlights and comforts. I admire their no-kill mission and their dedication to feline welfare. read more

I really hate to leave a bad review for an animal shelter, but um... idk. I had been looking at their dogs online for quite some time. The dog that I was interested in, Mackenzie, (a gorgeous elderly bull terrier) had caught my eye and been in the shelter for quite some time. My boyfriend and I decided we would like to meet her and adopt her. When I first got to the shelter it seemed fine. There were a lot of people there despite it being Memorial Day. I was glad to see that they were open that day. I walked to the front desk and was approached by a blonde woman in her fifties and she asked me "what did I want." Okay.. first red flag. I had read about Mackenzie online and that she wasn't good with other animals, and she had anxiety and scratches on her face because she would get nervous around other dogs and hit her head on the kennels at the shelter. I asked to see her and the woman literally ROLLED her eyes and said, "really? You're interested in Mackenzie? Are you sure?" I just looked at my boyfriend like .. is this bitch really saying that? While we were waiting for them to get Mackenzie someone else approached us. Tall black guy. Gave us the same speel when I said I was waiting to see Mackenzie. "Have you ever had a bull terrier before? She'll be hard to raise, she has lots of scratches on her nose, etc she's so violent...," basically giving me ALL the negative facts about the dog. At this point I was so nervous about meeting the dog I was considering just saying the hell with it and leaving. Eventually someone brought out Mackenzie to the backyard area, handed us the leash, and literally LEFT so it was just my boyfriend and I alone with the dog. WTF! First of all, Mackenzie is NOT AT ALL how they described her. She was calm as hell! She was a total sweetheart! Nothing at all like how they described her, so I really hate the fact that they gave her a bad rep, even on the website!! The only thing that was true is that she does get nervous around other dogs as when some came up to the fence she freaked out and pulled at her leash to the point where she was almost choking herself. I was a little disheartened to see that her face had gotten 10x more fucked up than her pictures online, like what are they doing to help her? She definitely needs veterinary care and her legs and face are all bloody and infected! Don't tell me they can't isolate her and treat her wounds ! That pissed me off! As much as I wanted to adopt her I know that I couldn't because I live in an area with a lot of other dogs, especially smaller ones she could potentially attack. I strongly suggest that if anyone responsible should want just one dog and is responsible enough to handle her to adopt her. She is so sweet and she is very calm. I found another bull terrier at a different foundation & I will be meeting with them soon. Won't be going back to Nevada SPCA because the employees truly don't seem like they care about the animals. Just another day at work for them. read more

When in Vegas I found a kitten on the side of the freeway that was injured. We snuck it into our hotel room, gave it a bath and nursed it back to health. We called all our friends and family to see if someone would take this sweet kitten and unfortunately no one could do we brought him to the SPCA. The staff was very sensitive, kind and friendly--asked about the kitten's story, if we had named him and reassured us he would be adopted quickly and loved on every second while at the shelter. read more

Wonderful & helpful staff. Though we didn't find the purr baby my friend was looking for, we will be back. Very sweet cats & a turtle on the cat side of the shelter.

This SPCA rocks! Da one in Honolulu opened just 2 years ago and is a keiki (child) compared to this one. It's definitely a model to aspire to in the future should they be able to secure more funding, office space, and land. Was on a week long vacation in Las Vegas earlier this month and wanted to see the type of animal shelters that this city had to offer. Gambling on da slots loses its appeal after a while, and the BF and I love to check out local spots and sights. We're weirdos like dat (and proud of it!) I was pleasantly amazed and inspired by the sight that I saw here. I own 3 rescue cats and foster newborn kittens ... when you're a bleeding heart for animals, it's hard to think they're more like-minded individuals and organizations like you out there. Go through my pictures, I took choke (alot). They have several rooms that are filled with dozens upon dozens of cats. What's your favorite flavor? They've got tuxedos, fat orange ones, Persian-looking ones, Siamese, etc. Kittens, kit-teens, adults, and even a few elderly. More recently, dey started a separate room for the guinea pigs and rabbits!! *squeal* According to their recent newsletter, this has boosted da number of guinea pig & rabbit adoptees. Oddly, I remember seeing a white ferret in the area sanctioned off for da felines. It's illegal to own a ferret in Hawai'i, so couldn't take da cute buggah home. :( His picture is include somewhea up dea. The dogs come in all kine. More flavors den a Baskin-Robbins. I love how each dog has a piece of paper outlining their life history, age, what kind of home they'd be good for, etc. This makes "shopping" for a dog all dat much more easier --- you can tell if he's good with cats, or should go to a home without young children, etc. This SPCA rocked choke (a lot) because they have all kines of animals! They had a pot-bellied pig while I was there .. I think 2 of them? Just a month or 2 earlier, they had a baby alpaca in there, too! Alpaca is a cousin to the llama. They're a no-kill facility that's completely run off of donations. Go in, pet a few animals, and throw dem a few bucks because unlike da (IN)Humane Society, pets actually have a chance to stay until they find their new "forever" home. read more

Nevada SPCA - This is the dog that I got from The Dewy annimal shelter about 4 months ago my best friend - Animal Shelters Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I went to the Nevada S.P.C.A. the other day for a tour with some kids. The guy at the front was not very friendly and didn't bother to greet me. He just said how can I help you. He didn't even look up and when he finally did, he didn't even smile and just looked miserable. Maybe it's because what is going on. It's disgusting that the people running it took advantage of this place instead of helping the poor animals. They wouldn't let us see the kennels. I wondered why. They used to always let people go back there to see the dogs. It just makes me wonder what they're trying to hide. I hope these greedy people get a nice prison sentence for stealing money from these animals in need! read more

I adopted Molly from the NSPCA in April of 2018. She was terrified and a fear biter who was not being shown to potential adopters. She had been at the NSPCA for at least 4 months which should be considered a massive failure at any shelter to have dogs waiting that long to be adopted. (Imagine being locked in your bathroom for four months, only leaving for a short walk daily if you are lucky) Her listing was not even up on the website as an available dog. How do you expect a dog to get adopted if they aren't even being networked/shown to the public? A good friend of mine came with me to meet Molly. We had to argue with the volunteer to see her, then they kept trying to talk us out of adopting her. I explained that I had experience with scared dogs and fear biters, they still wanted to do everything they could to talk me out of adopting her. When we brought Molly home she was so terrified that she wouldn't come within 15 feet of us and would run every time we got up. We gave her time and space and slowly she warmed up to us. Molly is utterly terrified of being groomed. We work with her every few days to keep her groomed because of the trauma she experienced. I can't even imagine what was done to her at this shelter to create such fear. Even if she came in with issues, she should have been working with a trainer from day 1 and the shelter should have done everything in their power to get her adopted quickly. Being in a shelter environment for a scared dog is a daily torture. The longer they stay in that environment the harder it is for them to recover. Aside from the state of poor Molly, upon arriving I wasn't sure where to meet my friend and I walked around the left side of the building looking for her. The building is literally crumbling, with an entire wall collapsed. If that is the state of exterior that the public can see, I can only imagine the state of the areas they hide from the public view. And now the truth is starting to come out with the local news investigation. Please do go adopt a dog from here just to get them out of this hell hole. But don't give them a single penny in donations until they account for the millions in donations not being spent on the animals or renovations that were promised years ago. The president says they have the money to renovate but they aren't renovating. So they are purposefully and knowingly keeping dogs in unsafe and unsanitary conditions while continuing to bring in dogs from out of state and not being able to account for dogs that have disappeared from the facility. The animals deserve better and it is time we all stand up for them. read more

I rescued my loving best friend at this location. The experience was pleasant. I like that they bring your pet of choice out for you to interact with for as long as you'd like.

The staff here is caring and they work with you to find the best fit for you and your family. Clean facility. read more

Nevada SPCA - She's my best friend. Rescue day! - Animal Shelters Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Adopted my little one from here a few months back. I didn't have any luck adopting in Tucson so I decided to look in Las Vegas where I have family and I'm so glad I did. This shelter was so accommodating and helpful. I told the adoption counselor in one sentence what I was looking for and the very first dog he had me meet was the one! Even when we had a little bump in the adoption process (misunderstanding with my landlord not them) they were so helpful and understanding. I got to take her home that same day with all the supplies to get her started in her new forever home. So grateful to have been able to adopt at this location. Cali (formerly Mia) is doing great and I can't imagine life without her. They definitely made the adoption experience everything I hoped it would be. Thank you! read more

Horrible customer service. Called into the shelter for advice on a puppy we've previously adopted from this place and was hung up on 3x before being left on hold for 15 min. Especially employee by the name of Jennifer who answered the phone, just rude, very negative, anger, should not be working with the animals with that type of attitude, if she/they are allowed to be careless and aggressively rude to customers, they should not be working with animals in need of love and of caring people. I can only imagine how they would be towards innocent animals behind closed doors. I recommend this place restaffing and firing a few of their horrible employees. This place would've gotten a -10 but 1 was the only option. Horrible. read more

Adopted a cat on 05/13/2020, paid the $50 fee, and due to the corona virus I wasn't able to visit the cat before I picked it up. When I arrived home. I opened the cardboard box and the cat walked out and hid under the bed, and then under the sofa, where I couldn't retrieve it for 4 days. Unknown to me the entire 4 days, the cat was infecting my home with fleas from the SPCA Shelter. On the evening of the 4th day, I feel when can be described as super tiny needles sticking my body. That's right, Flea bites. Now I have to wait another 30 hours, before I can return "Mr Flea Farm", the cat. Being that my entire home has hopping and biting fleas, the exterminator says it will cost around $312 to treat the residence. Great. Not only did I pay the $50 fee, I am also out the cost of : 1. Food 2 Litter 3. Litter Box 4. Scooper 5. Water and Food bowls 6, Toys 7. Brush / Comb 8. $312 for home treatment For a total of $435 to return a cat to a place I trusted, SPCA Las Vegas read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Excuse my language, but seriously FUCK the Nevada SPCA. We found 2 strays in my neighborhood and tried to take them to the shelter for their best chance and they actually had the nerve to say, "well we're all full so you can take them to lied" the kill shelter. And told me that I need to make an appointment to surrender my animals. They're not my animals first of all. And second of all, how can you claim to care about animals and then tell people trying to do the right thing to take them to a kill shelter? They don't care about animals at all. No shelter here does. Also they have fostering programs. So tell me why they can't be put in foster care since you "have no room". This is BULLSHIT. Oh and the fact that I was mad was amusing to her I guess because she decided to laugh at me. I finally understand why people just dump their pets. Because it's better to let them fend for themselves and possibly survive or get rescued than to take them to a place where more than likely they'll be put down. This place is a joke. read more

I'm happy that Nevada has a no-kill shelter option, but when you're dropping an animal off, the staff is not very nice at all. One evening I heard the sounds of kittens mewling LOUDLY outside my apartment building. I went to check it out and found three very tiny kittens huddled together under the stairs. They were way too fast and it was way too dark (I was using my cell phone as a flash light) to catch, so I left water and softened food out for them. The next day it was all gone. Fast forward a few weeks, I'm outside my apartment with friends and I spot the kittens huddled together outside a patio of the building across from me. There were three and we successfully caught two, a white one and an orange tabby. They were crying like crazy, but no other cat (or human) came out to inspect what was going on, so we figured they were abandoned. I took them to my place, put them in my cat's pet carrier with towels, a warm bottle, some water and softened food. They ate the food like they'd never seen food in their lives. We went back to where we found them because the apartment with the patio where they were sleeping, we could see it was abandoned, but there were two more kittens inside. The abandoned apartment was open and it was clear a cat colony had moved in. The carpet of the three bedroom apartment was covered in feces. We had no luck grabbing the other kittens (then ran to a hole by the dishwasher). I told my apartment maintenance about the apartment (they happened to be next door installing a washer) and they said they would try to take a look at the apartment later that day. I spent the next few days calling animal rescuers I knew, the humane society and the SPCA. No one was willing to take the kittens, and they told me I should foster them or keep them myself. I thought I was doing the right thing by rescuing these kittens, but I was really starting to regret it. The kittens did not want to be touched and the only time they didn't cry was when they ate and immediately after when they went to sleep. Almost a week later I got a call from the SPCA, they would take the kittens the next morning. I brought them in and explained who I was. No one said anything to me, just put two forms in front of me. I started filling them out and a woman came from the back hallway and without saying anything to me, opened the carrier with the kittens. I told her to be careful because the white one is really vicious. She ignored me and stuck her hand right in, only to snatch it out after the little white kitten went crazy and tried to attack her. A second woman (who also didn't say a word to me or even look at me) managed to get the orange one out, held him by the scruff upside down and was saying "come one, lift up your neck, show me you're strong". I thought that was odd, but they're the professionals. The first woman got the white kitten out by using the towel that I had in the carrier to toss over his head then pull him out. She grabbed him by the scruff, but he was still going crazy, hissing and twisting around. The two women though it was funny. I told them about the abandoned apartment with two and possibly more kittens. And the two women just walked away with the kittens (and my towel) and I was left just standing there. I didn't expect an in depth sit down session to explain what was happening, but could you at least introduce yourself? Do I need to pay a fee? Are the kittens going to be okay? Is there anything that can be done about the cat colony apartment? I'm thankful for the service they provide but it doesn't have to be such an awkward experience. read more

A few weeks ago, my husband saw online that there was a corgi here available for adoption. We own 2 Corgis and decided to go down and see if we could meet her. We brought our older Corgi with us and arrived about an hour before they closed. It was pretty crowded, but it was nice to see that many people were interested in adopting animals. One thing I recommend is to look at their website and know the names of the animals you are interested in, because the volunteers will ask you: a. Have you looked at our adoptable animals on our website? b. Do you know which ones you would like to meet? There were 2 potential owners who were meeting the Corgi when we got there. One of the volunteers told us that we were welcome to wait and see if she's going to get adopted. If not, we would be next in line to meet her. The first lady walked out. The second lady spent a while with her, so we thought she would be adopted for sure. Then, I heard her say "sorry" to the volunteer and walked out. We finally got to meet her and she was very sweet. 7 years old, in pretty good health, but obviously neglected and left on the streets for who knows how long. Her nails were extremely long. I wish they had cut her nails in the first place. But, I understand, they probably have so many animals coming in and not enough volunteers so they must be extremely busy. She also had hair missing from the back of her ears. Possibly from a food allergy or ear infection that never got treated. Looks like she may have gotten into a few fights on the streets because tiny chunks of her ears were missing as well. My guess is, these were the main reasons why the other ladies did not want to adopt her. So sad that they didn't want to give this poor girl a chance! But on the other hand, it is a good thing they walked away. What the NSPCA wants are people who will provide "forever homes" for the animals, and if they can't commit to that, the animals are better off waiting for someone who will. Yes, we adopted her and are now one big happy family! We had a very good experience here. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers, affordable adoption fees and they even have a play area outside if you want to bring your dogs in and see if they get along. Cheers to those who support Nevada SPCA! read more

I adopted my cat from here and the two women I worked with made the process seamless. The terrible review comes from the many office folk I spoke to over the phone when trying to get some documentation for my cat. I will spare the details and leave you with this. If you need ANYTHING from the office staff. If you want ANY type of follow through, just go there. Just do yourself a favor and show up. After 5 days of back and forth with them I was given the run around and never got what I needed. read more

I expected more from the Nevada Spca..and this why...I was interested in volunteering, but was rudely handled by a lady who had no personality and no interest in my interest to help the place out. She handed me a form and quickly told me the date for the next orientation.That was it. I decided to take a look around the place to see what I would be getting myself into, and while the dog (whom I wanted to adopt all and any) cages seemed somewhat clean, and the dogs didn't seem too miserable, I couldn't help but choke in the scent of feces, urine, b.o., and just plain stuffyness in the air. Ugg...not pleasant!!! I'm lucky I don't have allergies because that place would drive me crazy if I did! Staff was scarce..which is sad..but times are tough. When I got to the cat section, this when I knew this place was not for me. Any good animal lover, esp cat lover knows, that cats are prone to certain illnesses. This place chooses to showcase its cats in different closed up rooms!! Any room that i walked into had at least 10-15 cats free to roam!! All rooms had no open windows to help with the heat, the fur flying around the room, or the smell of the litterboxes!! So if a cat comes in sick with a respiratory condition, it may infect the other cats if its not cared for properly! Who wants to adopt a sick cat? I feel sorry for the cats because they have to stay in the same room as more than one smelly litter box, which can also make them sick after awhile. Again, staff was scarce, and the un-opened windows and dried up feces that had been flung onto the walls from the litterboxes turned me off!!! If you want to go to a nice, clean place where the animals aren't suffering in their own stank, I recommend The Animal Foundation also known as The Lied Animal Shelter off of Bonanza and Mojave. I am a very happy volunteer there!!! :) read more

My whole experience at the shelter was wonderful from start finish. Please give them a chance and consider adopting and/or donating. read more

I've been here twice, once a long time ago and I walked around the kennels and again today. I don't know if they always have the kennels closed now or if in the particular day they're doing something like cleaning or whatever, but on this day they told us to pick dogs from the picture and they bring them out for us to see them. The only thing you can see is they have a rabbit and rodent room upfront. I don't like this route for several reasons. Mainly, I think when supporting something I feel like the living conditions should be transparent. This is why I don't give money to rescue groups blindly fundraising at say Petsmart because I've actually known some to be covers for BYB/hoarders. Not accusing this place of wrongdoing at all, but I am just a person who likes to see with my own eyes what happens behind the curtain. Also, sometimes you think you like how a certain dog looks, but they are totally not it. You may walk by one you might've not considered through pictures, but has a temperament you are looking for and you connected when face to face. This has happened to us before - it's how we ended up with our cat and how we ended up with a senior pug. I do know people can be jerks and having a free for all probably stresses out dogs if people are being disrespectful, but maybe they can achieve something in between with controlled numbers in the kennels. Really, we were here to see one particular dog I saw on their blog so it doesn't apply to us. Apparently the people sitting there were here to see him too....and then after us a family was here to see him. He had some long term medical issues and they were totally gonna let us take him, but seeing as how he was totally trying to be friends with the dog of the other family interested, I told the BF we should give them a chance. If they weren't going to take him,then we were coming home with a bulldog since I'm not working that much and can dedicated to getting a sick dog better. A plus is they have a large lobby with seats that air conditioned, but a side patio where you can bring your dog off leash to meet potential new dogs. The lady helping us though was nice. She was pretty upfront about his allergy condition and what meds he's on and such which is good. The one plus is if you have dogs and cats like we do, they are willing to go do a cat test for you which they did for us so we can consider it heavily. I suggest bringing your dog with you as they want you to do a meet first before adopting. While he has a home with that family now, and I really hope he has a great life, I'm sure my bulldog is out there. I'll probably be back if a bulldog, frenchie or pug pop up here. read more

My experience at Nevada S.P.C.A. has been great from the get-go. We have been wanting to get a dog for a long time now and I originally wanted a puppy, but got turned around when informed "When you adopt from a shelter, you're saving a life." Anyone who knows me knows that I love pugs so I searched their website for an adoptable pug and saw that there were none. Thinking that it might not be completely updated, I pulled up to the shelter on a whim wanting to see what they were all about. The NSPCA building is older and run down, but don't let it steer you away especially because they are a No Kill shelter. As soon as you walk in, you will see a board where they display a few dogs and some "Adopted" stickers slapped across the ones that now belong to a loving home. On your left is the Dewey Veterinary Hospital and on your right is where they keep the bunnies - the dogs and cats are kept at the end of the hallway (employees only). I was greeted by a gentleman as I headed in and he asked if I needed help with anything. I told him that I was there to possibly adopt a dog and he asked if I knew what kind of dog I was looking for. I responded that I didn't and he guided me to a computer where I may see the dogs that they have available for adoption. After a few minutes of browsing, him and another gentleman checked up on me to see if I had any questions or wanted to see one of them. I told him that I wanted a smaller dog that loves to cuddle, but would also be active as well. He immediately guided me to "Marley" and showed me a few other dogs that would fit the criteria. He asked if I wanted him to bring "Marley" out and I was excited! When the little guy came out, I was in love. Little baby sat on my lap, licked me, and in the meantime they give you a packet with information about the dog as well as his current shot records. They asked if I would like to take him to their backyard area and play with him so I took him out there and let him off of his leash. After play time, we hung out inside some more and I told him that I would like to come back tomorrow with my fiance if possible. Another gentleman informed me that I should call in the morning and make sure I let them know that I have met "Marley" before and possibly adopt since they do not hold overnight. I was so eager all night to bring my little baby on home and started purchasing the essentials for him. My fiance wasn't able to see him the next day, but trusted my judgement (the multitude of videos and photos also helped) so I raced to the rescue after work. I called and asked if "Marley" was still available and they said yes but I had to hurry since it was almost 3 PM and they close at 4 PM with adoptions taking about an hour. Running inside, I asked for "Marley" and another gentleman brought him out to me. After spending more time together and bonding, I had to take my little baby home. He came out and "interviewed" me to make sure that I was a suitable candidate to adopt and that I would be able to provide a forever home. I LOVE that they interviewed me to make sure that I would not only be a great dog owner, but a great person for Winston - his new name - and able to provide him with a loving home. Adoption contract signed! Adopting from NSPCA means that your baby will come spayed/neutered, up to date vaccinations, complimentary veterinary check-up, and they are microchipped! The adoption packet comes with a few samples of the dog food they use (and coupons!), Nutri Source, which they advised me to mix little bits in with his new food to acclimate him if I decided to change it. The information for his microchip is provided - all you have to do is mail Avid (the company they use) $20 and the registration papers. A new parent brochure is provided along with a list of veterinarians that will provide a free vet check up within 10 days, he reminded me to bring along the Certificate of Vaccination along with his shot records. They are currently partnered with Bogart's Bone and have coupons for multiple offerings at their locations. What are you waiting for?

It's a no kill shelter. It looks kinda small and with 600 or so cats and 200 dogs, you can't expect it to be spotless or the best living conditions. They're in need of families to foster pets. We fostered two baby labs for several weeks until it was time for them to get spayed/neutered then put up for adoption. So, if you're afraid of commitment, try it out and take a couple dogs for a few weeks knowing that you can return them (or adopt them) down the road. read more

When you are in an unfortunate situation and need to surrender your animal, however, they are not nice at all! When my husband and I adopted our dog 5 years ago we were told that if we ever had any issues we could, and should bring him back to them. In fact if we didn't we could face criminal charges. When my husband lost his job recently we also found out that our dog had contracted an illness and needed to have surgery that would cost a minimum of $450. We took him to 4 different vets including the NSPCA vet (who quoted almost $700) and realizing we couldn't afford it, sadly decided to surrender the dog back. We thought this through for over 3 months before coming to this decision. We only wanted him to have the best chance at a healthy life which we didn't feel capable of providing at the moment. We were ridiculed, talked down to, and made to feel like second class citizens. We were told to allow our dogs condition to progress and if it came time to put him down, that would be better for him! I strongly disagree. I would rather my dog have a chance at a long healthy life than possibly die. What kind of animal lovers are these people??!! I gave this place two stars instead of one because there was one woman there who did sympathize with us, and did see that it was with difficulty that we were making this decision. She treated us with care and respect. Not like the other woman who said she would let her children go hungry before giving her animal away, and that we were terrible for not doing the same.... This place really needs to work on their customer service skills, and if they don't want their adopted animals returned, "no questions asked", then don't put that on your adoption forms!!!! read more

I don't understand the bad reviews, this place is great! The staff was so helpful with showing us all of their dogs and they explained any difficulties with each one (aggressive with other dogs, needs special care, isn't trained, etc.) and made sure that we knew anything important so we could get the dog that was the right fit. They let us take out the dog we wanted to get to know and answered any questions I had, told us about what happened to her before she was rescued, made her more comfortable with meeting us, and they were so helpful when we said we wanted to adopt her. The process was really fast and before we took her home they gave us a bag full of stuff for her and said how sad they are to see her go because they all love her but how happy they are that she's going to a new home. I recommend at least giving them a visit when looking for a new pet read more

As soon as my family and I walked in one of the staff was very kind and helpful into making out pet adoption easier. He gave us a list of pets with their image that are available for adoption. I originally already had a specific dog picked out before I got their because I was so excited, but it turned out that she was long gone. So the staff had showed me a different dog that was just recently put up in the website and it was the dog's first day up for adoption. So you pick a dog you would like to see and they kindly bring it out to you and your family. I like this system a lot, because in that case you're not overwhelmed with the choices of dogs and dogs are not overwhelmed with the adopters going in and out. But as soon as I saw this dog I fell in love. He was sneezing from being excited!! But as soon as I saw him I knew I wanted to get him. After you've made you choice, one of the staff will question you into making sure that he's giving this dog into worthy family who will be able to provide and take full responsibility. Please think about adopting rather than buying. These animals are so cute and amazing.:) check their website for adoptable pets. They frequently update it read more

Nevada SPCA - One of the staff told me he was a mixed Maltese. His name on the website was "honeybug" but I decided to name him "Teemo" - Animal Shelters Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I adopted a really skinny little pitbull mix girl, not too long ago. I came with my dog and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a male staff who immediately walked me to the computer in order to identify the dog I wanted to see. It was one puppy off of a 6 puppies litter, he was already with a family so the man who was assisting me asked me if I wanted to see any other dog and patiently brought almost one by one the puppies from the same litter and allowed me to spend time with them and watch their interaction with my dog. I fell in love as soon as he brought me the last one I met, the one I adopted and after a while playing with her, when I looked around I realized I was the only person who was still there meeting a dog and still everybody was very courteous and helpful. The adoption process is detailed but yet simple, they will make you questions to ensure everything is OK and that you're aware of all responsibilities and possibilities. The fee is not really high and they provide you with a started kit, with discounts for food packages and free things like a tag, which really helps! Also if you have any other doubts after the adoption they're still very helpful. read more

Nevada SPCA - My lovely Candy, adopted at Nevada SPCA. - Animal Shelters Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My husband and I adopted a dog from here in Jan.'14. I told them what kind of dog I was looking for, small, sweet & cat friendly. And after a little waiting they brought out this little 1 yr old chihuahua jack russell mix. He was perfect from the start, super friendly & relaxed even in a stressful setting like shelters can be. Our only concern was how he'd get along with our cats so they cat tested him and he did fine. Adoption process was easy & fees were very reasonable. Staff was friendly & informative. We are so glad we chose to adopt from NSPCA and they brought out the best dog ever to us. He fits in perfectly in our family, we all love him, cats included! read more

It's an overfilled shelter trying to do the best they can with what resources they have. We just adopted our third pet, a 10 year old Chihuahua that they had just picked up from a kill shelter. Sweetest little guy! My wife and I are major animal lovers and help out when and with what we can. I recommend checking out their wish list on Amazon or donating funds if you don't have the time to volunteer. They are understaffed and severely overcrowded. Especially in the cats area. I understand the frustration of the staff when people are trying to bring their animals in. Having dealt with this myself, there are many instances where people did not think it through when getting a pet. This is a commitment to care for another life. We have run through a number of medical issues with our animals but would not give them up because they are part of the family... If you are looking for a pet please adopt and don't go to a pet store or breeder. There are too many animals living in shelters. read more

This is a no-kill animal shelter and it's located conveniently off the 215 on Decatur. The staff is very friendly and the shelter is connected to the Dewey Veterinary Clinic. The shelter keeps an awesomely cute and updated website listing all their available animals (dogs, cats etc) and even have little write-ups and cute pics about EACH ONE. This is a tremendous effort and so special! Their website is updated almost every day. Having had 3 dogs (all of them being SPCA rescues), I cannot gush about how amazing the experience of rescuing a shelter animal can be. I think about my wonderful dogs (2 have passed) every single day. I urge you to support shelter animals (they have lots of pure breds here too) and to also support this particular SPCA as they do very good work, they are not government funded and they are no-kill. www.nevadaspca.org read more

I adopted a little dog from this shelter. I was not planing on getting one, but there she was. The staff was very helpfull, the guy who was helping me seemed more concerened about the welfare of the dog and if the dog would fit in mine and my bfs lifestyle. This is a big place and sometimes its harder to find staff to help you but they seem understaffed with volunteers so I was not mad. read more

Very sad to have to write a negative review on the Nevada S.P.C.A, but just so other potential animal parents are informed: I adopted a senior maltipoo from the SPCA about a week ago, spoke with the manager (Dwayne) regarding his health because he is 11 years old before adoption, and he said they found no health issues with him besides being a little overweight. I asked multiple times (he seemed well informed) and it seemed like they vet check, groom, and take care of the animals while in the shelter but with my Titus it seems that wasn't the case. Using the free vet check-up, I took him to the Sunset/Eastern animal hospital to find out he has HORRIBLE pre-existing ear infections in both ears that the vet said had been there for months. His whole canal is clogged with black infection and his inner ears are swollen shut, with possible damage to the ear drum. I'm a first time dog owner, so had I previously known to look inside his ears for black crud I would have OBVIOUSLY seen the infection. Trained professions at the shelter could not have missed this. The fact that I was not informed and he was not treated for this painful infection is very sad. He rubs his ears on the carpet and itches them a lot, I don't know how these symptoms were missed. He was at the shelter for about a month. I called the shelter and all I received was excuses. Very disappointing to see this negligence. read more

I read the recent press and yeah.. They need a better house (don't we all). It's not perfect but it isn't THAT bad. My local pub leaks in the rain too and the casino I worked at jad plumbing issues for years. I have had many many many interactions with NevadaSPCA.org. I stand by them. They are TRYING SO hard! I have brought adopters down to see a dog. Things went great. They love the dog. I have brought strays in to check for a chip. I have even called about what to do about a baby bird fallen out of nest. I get help. Sheltering isn't perfect. There can be issues. If the alternative is the high kill shelter I will take these people trying. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon with the intention of adopting a kitten. We walked in and immediately to the right were the kittens. They weren't in the cat rooms with the older cats; they were in shared cages. I really wanted an orange tabby and there were two there. I got to hold one but he was a little skiddish. I'm gonna be checking on their website daily for orange tabby kittens. My boyfriend and I went to look at the dogs and it was sad to see them in there. There were a lot that weren't ready to be adopted yet. There were small dogs and big dogs of many breeds. The staff is really friendly and it looked like there were many volunteers. read more

It's not easy to judge a shelter run by volunteers and doing a public service. I adopted two dogs I saw on a video on their facebook page, and I went in on a saturday which was crowded and the staff was overwhelmed with work in every direction. So, it took hours and it was a difficult process, but I can't say the people there weren't doing the best they could. They even let me walk them threw the cat room to see how they reacted to the cats. I do have a few tips. For one, I could never get anyone on the phone, but I was able to message their facebook page and receive all the info I needed easily. For two, it's not really set up like a pet shop you can browse, so know which ones you want to meet before you get there, and bring a carrier or leash with you to bring them home. And lastly, no animal acts the same in a shelter as they would at your home, so do some research on adoption and helping them adapt to your home, housebreaking, etc. They're going to be distracted and upset at the shelter, but bonding will happen at home when they get into your schedule and comfortable. read more

A really lovely shelter. We went a couple of days ago to adopt our new cat. The facility was clean and organized but it was clearly filled to capacity - rooms upon rooms filled with cats, most of them sleeping or meowing loudly at you as you walked by. I would suggest checking out their website and having a list of cats that you want to see, that way you can be far more efficient. We did that and we were able to talk to the people there about which cat from the list would be best for our home. Adopting your animal there is an easy process, and you walk away with a lifetime companion. We adopted a BEAUTIFUL 3 year old Lynx Point/Siamese mix. You just sign some papers and your animal is already spayed or neutered, microchipped, etc. They will even give you a list of veterinarians that are willing to give you a free first check up. Upon check-up, we did find that our cat had some serious plaque build up. She's only been in the shelter for a month or so, so it was most likely her diet in her old owner's home that caused the plaque problems in SUCH a young cat!! I believe at this shelter they feed the cats NutriSource, as we were given some samples of it to take home. The total cost for adopting our cat was only $40. read more
