Nevada Humane Society (NHS) is a charitable, non-profit organization and the only open-admission, no-kill shelter in the state of Nevada. Incorporated in 1932, it was originally created to address the suffering of local stray animals. In 2007, our Board of Directors changed the mission of the organization to one of lifesaving, promoting animal welfare while finding homes and providing care for homeless pets in Northern Nevada. In 2014, NHS expanded to include Carson City. In October 2016, we moved into a brand new shelter in Carson City, which will increase the number of lives saved in Northern Nevada. It’s an exciting time for homeless pets and animal lovers, as more than 140,000 animals have been placed into loving homes since our lifesaving mission began in 2007, and we are only continuing to grow.
All rescue pets at our Reno Shelter can be adopted in-person, seven days a week between the hours of 11:00am – 6:30pm. We are closed between 2:00pm – 3:00pm daily for shelter pet nap time, so that our pets can rest and take a break between visits with potential adopters.
