Are you ready to adopt a pet? If you are, I encourage you to adopt from the Nevada Humane Society, it could be one of the best decisions you ever make!
The Nevada Humane Society (NHS) has been serving Northern Nevada since 1932 and is a "no kill" shelter. Their mission is to provide care to animals in need in our community and to bring people and animals together. The Nevada Humane Society saves thousands of animals each year and consistently strives to improve their services.
Since establishing the "no kill" goal in 2008, they have been working diligently to develop lifesaving programs. With the assistance of the Washoe County Regional Animal Services, the NHS has been able to establish a county wide save rate of 91% for dogs, thus making Washoe County one of the safest communities in the nation for dogs.
The programs that have contributed to their success include: The active local rescue groups that take many animals from shelters, volunteer support with over 650 people working together, evening and weekend adoption hours, reduced fees, trained adoption counselors to help match pets with people, adoption events both at the shelter and off site, and a free Animal Help Desk.
To adopt a pet come down to the shelter at 2825 Longly Lane in Reno, Nevada. The shelter is open seven days a week and have hundreds of pets to choose from. Adoption Hours are: 11am - 6:30pm | Monday - Friday 10am - 6:30pm | Saturday 11am - 6:30pm | Sunday Office Hours 9:00am - 5:00pm Closed on some holidays Intake Hours 11:00am - 4:30pm | Monday - Saturday Closed on Sundays and Holidays Clinic Hours Low cost spay/neuter by appointment.
If you are looking for a companion for yourself or your pet, I think Blackie could be the perfect dog for you to adopt!!
Blackie is a Black Lab/Retriever Mix who has been at the Nevada Humane Society since 7/08. Blackie is ready and waiting for his new family to bring him home.
Blackie is believed to be 6 years old. He is very sweet and and the NHS volunteers say he likes to be held like a baby!
Blackie passed the "doggie test" which means he ate while other dogs were present. He is not protective and is good with other dogs. He loves to be outside, take walks and beg for treats.
If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting Blackie, please call the Nevada Humane Society at (775) 856-2000. Just mention you saw Blackie in my real estate blog! There are many, many other animals waiting for adoption. Please remember the Nevada Humane Society when are you ready to adopt a pet!
