What Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does
Mission
Nevada spca saves the lives of southern nevada's most vulnerable pets, inspires human companions to uphold the best possible care and increases the human-animal bond through adoption, foster and preventative care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Nevada spca takes in 2500 animals annually in an average year, providing them temporary shelter, medical care and then rehoming them into loving new families. Nevada spca is a safety net for our community's homeless pets, with over sixty-five percent of our animals coming from owners who need to surrender them for a variety of reasons including financial insecurity and family changes. The rest of our intake is from transfers from other local shelters to help pets that require more medical attention in order to prepare them for adoption as well as orphan kittens from the streets. Nevada spca found homes for 2164 animals in 2025. Nevada spca increases the human-animal bond in our community through robust volunteer and foster programs with over 2000 active volunteers and over 180 active foster parents: our foster parents fostered 387 foster pets in 2025. Nevada spca continued its pet pantry started in 2020 to provide free dog and cat food to our community's pet owners in financial need and provided 73,071 meals to those owners pets.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $3.9M to $6.0M (+53%).
