NHS Metrics Monday 03.18.24

Hello Friends!

Trent (Director of Operations) with a Nevada Humane Society Metrics Monday update and some key information about last week.

As of 8 am Monday, March 18th, we had 354 animals in our care – this is 14 more than the previous week. We have 59 at our Carson Campus, 159 at our Reno Campus, and 136 in the care of our foster volunteers. The Carson Campus dog kennels are at 67.24% capacity and the Reno Campus dog kennels are at 72.54% capacity.

136 animals came to our campuses last week – a 5% decrease from the previous week. NHS received 47 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (+0 animals from the previous week), 17 Strays (+2 animals from the previous week) and 0 Good Samaritan Strays (-4 animals from the previous week). We also transferred in 25 dogs, 31 cats, and 2 other animals from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services.

50 cats, 54 dogs, and 5 others were adopted last week – this is 14 fewer cats, 18 fewer dogs, and 4 additional other animals than the previous week. We were able to reunite 3 cats (+1 from the previous week) and 6 dogs (+1 from the previous week) with their owners.

Last week, 1 dog was humanely euthanized for medical reasons and 1 cat had an unassisted death in our care. 2 dogs were euthanized for behavior – one for aggression to humans and the other for aggression to humans and animals.
