Who We Are
Our Canine Club is full of people who love all things Dogs! Our dog enrichment volunteers are a committed group of people that come in to the shelter to make sure our shelter dogs get essential care, walks, love, behavior support, and enrichment every single day.
If you are a dog lover and would like to just drop in, or have a set schedule—then canine club would be a great fit for you! As a dog walker you can expect to gain understanding of animal behavior, learn how to utilize dog enrichment equipment, and of course—engage with dogs!
The Nevada Humane Society is a close, dedicated team of animal lovers and our volunteers are integral to our life-saving mission. Learn more about our life-saving work and some of our favorite rescue stories on our website.
We have a clear and noble mission: to care for pets, find them homes, and save lives. Every year, thousands of animals pass through our doors, each with their own story and need for love. Our organization operates under the vision that all pets deserve a healthy, happy life. This vision is put into action daily through a series of guiding principles designed to promote humane treatment, relieve suffering, and educate the community.
Nestled in the heart of Northern Nevada, we stand as a beacon of hope and compassion for pets in need. As the state’s only open admission, high- save animal welfare organization, NHS helps nearly 18,000 pets each year. For over 90 years, our team of highly trained staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly to ensure that homeless pets get the care and second chance they deserve: a life filled with joy and health in a loving home. With a mission deeply rooted in care, kindness, and community engagement, we have become a cornerstone of humane treatment and animal welfare in the region.
