Founded in 1982, Nevada SPCA is southern Nevada’s original lifesaving animal shelter. Nevada SPCA takes in over 2,500 dogs, cats, and small pets annually, giving them medical care and then finding them loving new homes. Sixty-five percent of Nevada SPCA’s intake is from owner-surrendered animals, with the remainder from transfers from other shelters and rescue groups. Nevada SPCA is a safety net for the community’s most vulnerable pets.
A Grey Muzzle grant will help Nevada SPCA launch a new program to provide free veterinary services to owners of senior dogs that cannot afford veterinary care, including dental cleanings and extractions, diagnostic blood work, surgeries, medications, and vaccinations. This will be a critical first step in Nevada SPCA’s vision of providing services to southern Nevada’s owned pets.
