Nevada Humane Society offers holiday adoption, foster opportunities and more through end of 2021
With Christmas in two days and 2022 around the corner, the Nevada Humane Society has a number of adoption and foster programs, donor specials, gifts and more going on at its Carson City and Reno shelters and online.
Home for the Holidays Promotion. Now to Dec. 31 all adult shelter pets (5 months-plus) are free as part of our Home for the Holidays promotion, kittens are $60 and puppies are $200.
Santa deliveries. Starting Tuesday, Deec. 21 when you adopt a shelter pet from Nevada Humane Society you will be given the option to have your new furry friend delivered to your house on Christmas morning by Santa himself.
Christmas dinner for our shelter dogs
Several of NHS team members will be cooking a healthy, pet-safe holiday meals for all of the dogs at our Reno shelter.
Donation opportunities:
Lights of Love available for purchase.
People can honor the pets in their lives (past and present) by participating in our Lights of Love program. All proceeds go to help Northern Nevada’s homeless pets filling our shelters, waiting for Forever Homes in time for the holidays. A light is illuminated on one of our shelters to recognize and honor the pet and the recipient gets a certificate mailed to them honoring their pet.
Foster for the Holidays
Can’t adopt but want to help make sure a shelter pet in need spends the holidays in a happy, loving home? Volunteer to foster for the holidays!
Our Support Nevada Humane Society Pets page has been updated to reflect all the other fun, creative ways people can help our shelter pets this holiday season, including:
— Donating a warm, healthy meal to a shelter pet. Visiting our Holiday Gift Guide to purchase gifts from local businesses that donate a portion of their proceeds to our shelters.
For the first time ever Nevada Humane Society has Adopt Local t-shirts and stickers available for sale at our Reno Shelter. There are three amazing design options available that we made in collaboration with our friends at Home Means Nevada.
We also have 2022 Kitten Calendars featuring photos of some of the rescue kittens we helped to find homes for this year. All NHS merchandise is available for sale at our Reno shelter.
When you do your holiday shopping this year, we encourage you to purchase gifts from the local businesses that donate a percentage of their profits to help our shelter pets.
The businesses in our holiday gift guide have some unique, delicious and creative gift options for everyone on your list and when you purchase a gift from one of these businesses, you are also supporting Nevada Humane Society Shelter pets. It’s a great way to support local and help homeless pets in need at the same time!
