Our mission is to house and care for all animals impounded within the city limits of Nevada. The Animal Shelter does not accept any animals from outside the city. The Animal Shelter has 12 large dog runs, 6 small dog runs, 4 dog quarantine runs and 12 cat cages. Employees care for the animals 7 days a week. Animals are fed and watered on a regular basis and receive limited medical treatment.
Animals may be adopted from the shelter after they have been held for 5 days. This gives the original owner time to reclaim the animal or notify the shelter they intend to reclaim. The city charges a small adoption fee plus a spay/neuter fee on all animals over the age of 6 months. Under 6 months a deposit is required in lieu of the spay/neuter. The adoption fee covers all medical treatments given at the shelter and microchipping with an AVID microchip.
