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, April 8th, we had 332 animals in our care – this is 16 fewer than the previous week. We have 45 at our Carson Campus, 157 at our Reno Campus, and 130 in the care of our foster volunteers. The Carson Campus dog kennels are at 50.00% capacity and the Reno Campus dog kennels are at 72.54% capacity.
168 animals came into our campuses last week – a 3% increase from the previous week. NHS received 42 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (+0 animals from the previous week), 9 Strays (-8 animals from the previous week) and 14 Good Samaritan Strays (+6 animal from the previous week). We also transferred in 51 cats, 31 dogs, and 0 other animals from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services.
78 cats, 75 dogs, and 8 others were adopted last week – this is 19 additional cats, 15 additional dogs, and 6 additional other animals than the previous week. We were able to reunite 1 cat (+1 from the previous week) and 3 dogs (-2 from the previous week) with their owners.
Last week, 5 cats and 2 dogs were humanely euthanized for medical reasons and 1 cat was euthanized whose severe behavior prevented life-saving medical care. 3 dogs were euthanized for aggression to humans.
