Hello Friends!

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

Population & Capacity

As of 8 am Monday, June 9th, we have 760 animals in our care – this is 37 fewer animals compared to the previous week. We have 60 at our Carson Campus, 277 at our Reno Campus, and 423 in the care of our foster volunteers. The Carson Campus dog kennels are at 57% capacity and the Reno Campus dog kennels are at 81% capacity.

Intakes

211 animals came into our campuses last week – 59 fewer than the previous week. NHS received 60 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (+32 animals from the previous week), 10 Strays (+4 animals from the previous week) and 10 Good Samaritan Strays (-50 animals from the previous week). We also transferred in 88 cats, 26 dogs, and 0 other animals from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services.

Outcomes

143 cats, 60 dogs, and 8 others were adopted last week – this is 59 more cats, 17 more dogs, and 2 more other animals compared to the previous week. We were able to reunite 3 cats (+3 from the previous week) and 5 dogs (+1 from the previous week) with their owners.

Last week, 9 cats and 1 dog were humanely euthanized for medical reasons and 7 neonatal cats died unassisted in our custody. Four dogs were euthanized for aggression to humans and one for aggression to humans and animals.

Community Support

Last week we received 41 surrender requests for cats and 64 surrender requests for dogs. The median time between a completed application to surrender appointment last week was 8 days for cats and 7.5 days for dogs. Same day emergency surrender appointments are available every day for situations that require immediate relinquishment.
