How We Help

Building a Compassionate Community Where Pets and People Thrive

Our work focuses on creating meaningful connections between pets and the people who care for them.  From helping animals find their forever families to supporting pet owners with the resources they need, we’re committed to keeping pets safe, healthy, and loved.

Community Support

Our community support programs keep pets with their families by providing Pet Pantry food assistance plus low-or-no cost veterinary care for pets in need.

Our volunteers find happiness by helping our shelter staff in the building and all throughout the valley with community outreach opportunities.

Nevada SPCA is an independent 501(3)(c) nonprofit and relies entirely on donations from individuals, businesses, and grants.  We do not receive funding from government contracts and are not a local chapter of the ASPCA. Your donation impacts pets locally and does not go out-of-state. Nevada SPCA is proud to hold Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating and a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly Guidestar) recognition of our commitment to trust, transparency, and using your dollars to impact the most animals in need.

Medical Care That Saves Lives

When pet owners in our community have no place else to turn, Nevada SPCA steps in, providing hundreds of thousands of dollars of veterinary care to keep pets where they belong: with the families that love them. As this need continues to grow in these economic times, your support of your fellow pet owners is essential.

A heartfelt thank you to the JCDA @cda12344 for organizing a donation drive to help provide much-needed supplies for our shelter pets! 🐾❤️ ⁣ ⁣ We’re so grateful for your generosity and support of Nevada SPCA.

Meet Blanket, a very special 15-year-old Chihuahua mix who is truly a beloved member of his family.⁣ ⁣ Blanket has been with his family since he was just a tiny puppy…so small he could fit inside a cup! For 15 years, he has been their first baby and the “big brother” to their children. He means the world to them. ⁣ ⁣ When Blanket needed veterinary care for a painful dental infection, his family reached out for help. Thanks to the generous support of the @greymuzzleorg, Nevada SPCA was able to help provide Blanket with the care he needed.⁣ ⁣ We are so grateful to The Grey Muzzle Organization for helping senior dogs like Blanket receive the medical care they deserve and stay happy, healthy, and loved. ⁣❤️🐾
“When I adopted Willy, I wasn’t sure if he would adapt to my wheelchair, but he adjusted to it just fine! 🐈⁣ ⁣ He gets brushed daily which he likes and gets along with the dog. He loves to cuddle and enjoys sleeping a lot. I got a collar and leash so now we are going to try going outside for a few minutes. He is spoiled rotten and gets treats. He also likes to follow me around from room to room, including the shower! ⁣ ⁣ He has made me less lonely in the short time that he has been here which is great. Thanks to the staff for showing me to him. Many adventures lie ahead!” 🥹❤️⁣ ⁣ #happytails #adoptasheltercat #lasvegas #nevadaspca

Chihuahua lovers, this one’s for you! 🐾⁣ ⁣ Beau is still waiting for a loving forever home of his own. This darling 7-year-old (16 lbs) boy is sweet, affectionate, and oh-so-easy to love. He enjoys cozy naps on a soft bed, treats, and simply being by your side! ⁣ Beau deserves to be spoiled with all the love, care, and devotion he’s been patiently waiting for.
