Keeping the Community Safe

The Nevada Humane Society Reno and Carson City shelters are currently open to the public. If you are interested in helping Nevada Humane Society by adopting a shelter pet, please visit our shelters to meet and adopt your new Furry Soulmate!

In an effort to keep our staff, volunteers, pets and the community safe we are requiring face masks be worn and are adhering the capacity restrictions in both our shelters. A full list of the safety precautions we are taking at this time can be found in the section below.

There are three important things you can do right now to help us:

  1. Adopt
  2. Volunteer
  3. Donate

ADOPT:  Our primary goal is to find happy homes for our shelter pets. Both of our shelters have reopened to the public and we can’t wait to see you in person to help you find your new furry family member!

VOLUNTEER:  There are a variety of ways you can help support Nevada Humane Society shelter pets during this challenging time. In addition to monetary donations, we also need help with things like; volunteering to walk dogs, helping to take photos of our adoptable shelter pets and match-making at adoption events. Below you’ll find details on all the fun, creative ways you can volunteer to help support Nevada Humane Society pets.

DONATE: The most immediate and impactful way you can help our shelter pets in need RIGHT NOW, is to make a donation to Nevada Humane Society.

Safety Precautions

We want you to know that we are working hard to keep our shelters thoroughly sanitized to ensure it is safe for you to come in to visit with, and adopt our shelter pets. We greatly appreciate everyone who is offering to help by adopting a shelter pet in need of a forever home right now!

Steps we are taking to ensure our shelters are safe for the community:

  • Face masks are required to be worn by anyone entering our shelters
  • We have implemented maximum capacity restrictions
  • Hand sanitizing stations have been installed at all shelter entrances & throughout our shelters
  • Social distancing practices are being strictly followed
  • All door handles and communal surfaces (including chairs, counters, tables, public writing utensils, etc.) are sanitized regularly using Rescue which is confirmed to kill the virus
  • Members of the community who are high-risk for COVID-19 may contact our shelters directly to schedule an appointment to come in, at a time when we are closed to the general public, to ensure that you can stay healthy and safe while adopting a rescue pet from us.
