Mission
Our mission is to be an innovative regional leader in responsible treatment of homeless dogs and cats, primarily through their rescue and placement in forever loving homes and by promoting spaying and neutering to control pet overpopulation. We accomplish our mission with dedication to our core values and a lifetime commitment to our animals.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Rescue, adoption, foster, and pet feeding programs: spca of northern nevada (spca-nn) saves and improves the lives of pets and people in northern nevada (and beyond) spca-nn believes in an open, conversation-based adoption process that carefully matches the lifestyle and expectations of adopters with the personalities and needs of our homeless pets. This approach gives adopted pets and their adopters the greatest chance for a successful, loving life together we rescue approximately 50% of our homeless pets from rural northern nevada and rural northern california from our rural partner shelters that are under- resourced and over capacity. We pick them up in our transport van, take them into our adoption center where they receive everything needed to become adoption-ready this includes medical intake exams, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, food (including specialty and prescription diets), shelter, behavior assessments, enrichment, and loving care. They'll also receive necessary surgeries and treatment for severe dental disease. We successfully treated and adopted 57 kittens and cats through our impactful ringworm academy program, which saves cats and kittens at high risk for…

Our affordable spay/neuter clinic and vouchers for dogs and cats are available to northern nevada residents with a total household income of 60,000 or less. There are many reasons why you should spay/neuter your pet: a) to help mitigate the high national rate of companion animal euthanasia; b) to prevent unwanted pregnancies and litters; c) to help your pet live a longer, healthier life. The todd's medical fund program helped 231 pets get the vital veterinarian care they need and deserve spca-nn served 10,258 owned pets through our affordable vaccination/microchip program, plus 706 pets received free vaccines at our 1-day public event spca-nn provided 24 dental vouchers to pets with dental disease grade 4. Spca-nn pays private vet clinic partner(s) for the dental post-adoption. This way the pets can recover in their new homes instead of waiting at the adoption center for dentals before being available for adoption. Additionally, spca-nn conducted 13 specialty surgeries in house, including amputations,…

All thrift store proceeds support our adoption center programs (see program a above), and our affordable community veterinary care programs (see program b above).
