Wednesday highlights first year of new Carson City Animal Services shelter
Happy Anniversary to Nevada Humane Society in Carson City. One year ago, on Oct. 4, 2016, a brand new animal shelter opened in Carson City. Since then, more than 850 dogs, cats and small animals have found amazing new homes.
A celebration to recognize lives saved and thank the community will kick off on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at the Carson City shelter, complete with cake and ice cream. Dogs and cats will also put their best paw forward because for one day only, all adoption fees will be waived at the Carson City shelter.
Since it’s opening a year ago, the veterinary clinic has opened, offering high quality, low-cost spay and neuter to those who cannot otherwise afford it and a low-cost walk-in based vaccine clinic.
A pet food assistance program and foster program has been established, while more homeless pets are getting seen around town at various events thanks to increased volunteer participation. An exercise play yard, designed and funded by Carson Animal Services Initiative, or CASI, also opened, offering enrichment to dogs during their stay at the shelter.
Funding for the shelter came from a sales tax, donations from Nevada Humane Society and CASI, Maddie's Fund® and Petco Foundation.

Nevada Humane Society is a 501c3 non-profit organization and the only open-admission, no-kill shelter in the state of Nevada. In 2014, they took over management of Carson City Animal Control with the goal to transform Nevada's capital city into the state's second metropolitan area to become a no-kill community, where all healthy, treatable, and rehabilitatable animals are saved. Almost immediately, lifesaving increased from 55 percent to 95 percent.
