I joined the no-kill movement nearly 20 years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. I’ve had the privilege of working under and with the founders and visionaries of the movement and have admired Nevada Humane Society from afar. the depth of compassion and competency that has been achieved by you, by this community, is extraordinary. I am honored to be here today, sharing in this moment, and with the goal of taking us towards a no-kill state.

2010: 9,668

In 2015, over 22,000 animals were aided through our organization, and nearly 11,000 adopted into loving homes, encompassing both our Reno and Carson City shelter. today, as we transfer animals from other areas, whether the more rural towns of Nevada or the bigger cities in need of more resources, such as Las Vegas, we know our lifesaving mission is catching on and that you want to be a part of it.

We have saved over 80,000 lives thus far at Nevada Humane Society and we only continue to grow—all thanks to your support.

2015: 10,694

Thank you, so very much, for all you do, and for adopting me, allowing me to lead this wonderful team to an even brighter future.
