NHS received 86 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (+35 animals from the previous week), 9 Strays (-7 animals from the previous week) and 30 Good Samaritan Strays (-14 animals from the previous week). We also transferred in 55 cats, 38 dogs, and 0 other animals from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services.
126 cats, 49 dogs, and 1 others were adopted last week – this is 10 fewer cats, 10 fewr dogs, and 3 fewer other animals compared to the previous week. We were able to reunite 1 cats (+1 from the previous week) and 7 dogs (-1 from the previous week) with their owners.
