LIVES SAVED
A t Nevada Humane Society, saving lives is priority one, each and every day! We are nationally known as one
of the top lifesaving shelters in the country and Washoe County and Carson City are some of the safest places to be a homeless pet—all thanks to YOU!
What makes us different? Here are a few basic but big reasons:
• We annually serve over 20,000 animals, mostly dogs and cats, through our Reno facility, plus 2,000 more in Carson City.
• Each life is precious. We strive to do our very best to save the animals of our community and to help the people who care about them.
• Our Reno adoption center, clinic and our many programs serving Washoe County are funded entirely by the generous donations of individuals, businesses and a few foundation grants. Our Carson City shelter and field services are funded through a contract with that city, but much of our lifesaving work for the animals is supported by donations.
• We work closely with Washoe County Regional Animal Services (WCRAS) to save lives. We share a building and work cooperatively, which has a positive impact on our community lifesaving efforts, but we are two separate organizations with different missions.
• Open admission, meaning we accept all animals that arrive from Washoe County and Carson City. We do not turn away animals based upon breed, age, size, look or condition. We save the old, the ugly and the shy as well as the cute and fuzzy.
• No-kill means that we do all that we can to save the lives of every healthy and treatable pet and sustain a live release rate for dogs and cats of over 90% in shelters. It means we do not euthanize animals for time or space.
Making A Difference
We are primarily funded by gifts from people like you.

MESSAGE FROM DENISE STEVENS, INTERIM CEO
PAGE 3
We are the largest and only open admission, no-kill shelter in the state of Nevada.
We put the animals first and we provide them with the best possible care until they go home. We are able to do it thanks to your support. This is lifesaving. This is Nevada Humane Society.

So where do we go from here?
LIFESAVING AT WORK
I’m Baby, 6 years old and FIV+. My life was saved thanks to Nevada Humane Society, who understands that my medical need is able to be managed. Now I’m happily in a loving home.
I’m Doodles. I was attacked by another animal and left for over a week without care. Thanks to Nevada Humane Society’s lifesaving mission, I’m here today and in a wonderful home.
Year One In Carson CityTHE NO-KILL QUEST
W hen Nevada Humane Society partnered with Carson City, we had a goal of expanding lifesaving efforts
and making Nevada’s capital city the second region to become a lifesaving community, where all healthy, treatable and rehabilitatable animals are saved. 2015 was officially our first full year in Carson City, and never did we think we would make so many positive changes in just 365 days—but we did!
The first and probably most impactful change of 2015 is lifesaving. Before our partnership, the lifesaving rate was just 55%. Today, we have surpassed 94% for both cats and dogs! It took a village and we are proud to now call Carson City a lifesaving community.
The second big change in 2015 was the approval of a new animal shelter. Carson City passed a bond to build this new facility—and Nevada Humane Society will bring funding to the table. Construction broke ground in October and is slated to be finished before the end of 2015. The new shelter will provide more housing for dogs and cats, with additional space for small animals. A veterinary clinic will also be built on site for in-house veterinary care and spay/neuter services. The groundbreaking kicked off with a flurry of dust and excitement and we can’t wait for the doors to open later this year!

Even the community stepped up to help animals! Everett, for his 6th birthday, asked for dog and cat food donations instead of gifts. He then spent his actual birthday dropping off the donation to the Carson shelter, taking time to visit with the animals and take photos with the staff. People of all ages can make a difference!

L ifesaving takes a village and innovation. For us, one particular program combines both of those—PUPS on Parole. It pairs
qualified inmates from the Warm Springs Correctional Center in Carson City with specific dogs from Nevada Humane Society who need some rehabilitation. Beginning in 2002, hundreds of dogs have gone through the program. It wasn’t until 2015, however, that a major impact began to emerge, as our partnership allowed us to oversee the program and use it to benefit the livelihood of our dogs.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS. Prospective inmates must be disciplinary free for at least a year and pass a rigorous application process to be considered for the program. They are then taught to train the dogs and offer rehabilitation. Inmates keep a daily journal of the dogs’ activities, including any training notes, likes and dislikes, and accomplishments. The dogs must pass a behavioral test and evaluation before leaving the program to be placed up for adoption. In 2015, 80 dogs graduated from PUPS on Parole, therefore giving them the second chance they deserve.
After several visits to the facility myself, and interviewing the inmates on the overall experience, I can confidently say PUPS is a benefit unlike any other to our community. Both dogs and humans receive enrichment and the reward of a better life in the future. In fact, the nearly three dozen inmates
PUPS on ParoleTHE NO-KILL QUEST

involved in the program all told me that it teaches them better communication skills, respect, responsibility and self-confidence. In addition, they all agreed that it makes them better people and that the dogs come first.
Tyler, an inmate, said, “I accept that I did what I did to get here, but with PUPS, I can something good for the dogs and the community. I can make a difference.”
Adolphus had one of the most memorable and heartfelt statements. He shared, “I’ve been in the program for 12 years. I watch dogs come in
and get second chances. This program has changed my life. It’s taught me responsibility and accountability. We are held at a higher standard than other inmates and we have to set an example. PUPS makes me want to be a better person and to teach others to do the same.”
We couldn’t agree more and as more dogs are graduating from the program, we’re more than happy to share their success and watch them become the family dog they were meant to be.
The goal is simple: help dogs that have behavioral challenges receive training and behavior modification so they can be placed up for adoption.
PUPS was written from a personal perspective by Kimberly Wade, Senior Manager of Communications and Events. She is working with the program to educate the community on the benefits it offers both people and pets.
Bart has learned an abundance of tricks. Here, he prays with his handler.
Dogs are taught to play Tic, Tac, Toe to train basic commands. Some sit, some lay down. If they leave the formation they are out of the game.

Kids’ Programs Making a DifferenceTHE NO-KILL QUEST
P art of lifesaving is raising awareness. This includes teaching children from an early age how to be around
pets and how to interact with them—not to mention the experience of having a family pet! Pals and Paws and Books and Buddies, two new programs that debuted in 2015, bring wins to the table for both the kids and homeless pets.
Pals and Paws gives kids ages 5 to 9 an opportunity to get involved with Nevada Humane Society and visit with furry friends. Once a month, they create fun toys, offer enrichment, and learn the
basics about animal welfare. They are taught and supervised by Nevada Humane Society staff and volunteers.
“We signed our kids up for Pals and Paws last fall. Both of them came home after the experience and had stories to share for days. They talked about making cat toys and then being able to actually give them to the homeless kitties. When they told us about their day their faces lit up and they were so proud. This is what we have been waiting for—families with pets want to get their kids involved and this is a great way to do that!” – The Johnson Family

Books and Buddies is designed to provide enrichment for kids and pets. Thanks to a partnership between Nevada Humane Society and Washoe County Schools, students will visit the shelter to read to homeless dogs and cats. The benefits are twofold. Human interaction can be the most enriching part of a shelter animal’s day. This kind of interaction improves animal confidence and comfort with people, and helps increase the animal’s success in their new home. Reading to animals also helps to reduce stress, making the kennel environment a little better.
For children, shelter animals provide a non-judgmental audience and safe environment for them to gain confidence in his or her ability to read aloud. Readers also experience the benefit of feeling good about having spent quality time with an animal in need.

Monsters Under the BedTHE NO-KILL QUEST
M onsters under the bed? Adopt a shy cat to investigate! While many pets only stay at Nevada Humane Society
for a short time, some will reside here longer than others. They may be shy or overly energetic, older, a bit sassy, or have a special need, such as a diet restriction. These pets may be considered Less-Adoptable to some, but to us, and fellow animal lovers, they are considered still lovable!
Ten years ago these animals would not have made it. Today, we are innovative. We save even the shy, sassy, or old pets. Sick of the in-laws? Adopt a sassy pet to stand guard! Looking for a mature relationship? Adopt an older pet to be your companion! After all, these are the pets that will offer the most unconditional love. They may not snuggle with you on the bed but they will hide under it keeping the monsters away.
PAGE 9
So where do we go from here? In a time where our animal admissions numbers have been reduced to more manageable numbers as the result of our programs, we are looking at what to do next to continue our lifesaving mission.
I can remember a time when the thought of being able to extend our lifesaving mission to our neighboring communities was only a dream. But that day has come. This chart depicts combined animal admissions and deaths for Nevada Humane Society and Washoe County Regional Animal Services. Excluding dogs and cats brought in from outside our community, dog deaths have declined by 44% since we began our lifesaving efforts. Community-wide intake for cats has decreased by 40% and cat deaths have decreased an astounding 85% over 2006.
MESSAGE FROM CEO, Continued We made a plan in 2007, we stuck with it and we achieved it. A few naysayers, offering a variety of excuses, said that lifesaving could not be sustained, but those of you who volunteer, adopt and donate have made Washoe County one of the safest places in the nation for homeless pets. Now, as we begin to rescue animals from outside of our
community, we aim for a day when we can truly make Nevada a lifesaving state.
Thanks to you we are saving lives every day. Thank you for your compassion for the animals and for your ongoing generosity that makes our work possible!

Adoption Makes a Difference
“We adopted Elanor in November when she was about 10 weeks old. As I understand, she and her siblings were left by the side of the road when they were barely a week old. Now, at five months old, she’s a sweet, energetic, bundle of love whose first adult teeth have just come in! Coming from someone who has been struggling with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, she is a constant reminder to me of the good in the world and has brought a kind of unconditional love and care to my life that has changed it fundamentally. Thank you so much for saving my baby because she saves me every single day.” – Sarah
ELANOR’S STORYThe bond between humans and animals is sometimes underrated. After all, many people think of lifesaving as giving the animals that arrive in a shelter, no matter where they came from, a second chance. We don’t share enough the difference that an animal may have on a person. Elanor’s story reminded us that while saving the lives of animals is vital, equally important is the affect they have on humans.
