UPDATE: MATTIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

Meet Mattie, our Pet of the Week!

Mattie is a three-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with a sweet personality and lots of love to share! Mattie came to Nevada Humane Society as an owner surrender and is now looking for a new family to call her own.

Mattie is an active girl who loves going on walks, playing with her favorite ball and enjoying just about any treat you offer her! She loves attention but also appreciates having her own space to relax. She’s crate trained, house trained and considers her kennel her safe space.

According to her previous family, Mattie has lived with dogs of all sizes and cats and has done well with both. She’s also spent time around children and enjoys playing with them.

Mattie would love to find a family who enjoys staying active, spending time together and giving her the opportunity to settle in at her own pace.

Come meet Mattie at our Reno campus today!❤️

Happy Metrics

Population & Capacity
As of 7pm Sunday, November 1st, we have 371 animals in our care – 19 less animals from the previous week. We have 29 at our Carson Campus, 199 at our Reno Campus, and 143 in the care of our foster volunteers. The Carson Campus dog kennels are at 31% capacity, and the Reno Campus dog kennels are at 67% capacity.

Intakes
151 animals came into our campuses last week. NHS received 94 Owner/Guardian Surrenders (47 more animals from the previous week), eight Strays (one more than the previous week) and 10 Strays too young for adoption (21 less than the previous week). We transferred 16 cats and 21 dogs from our close partners at Washoe County Regional Animal Services. Two cats were transferred from other partners.

Outcomes
71cats, 64 dogs, and nine small animals were adopted last week – this is 26 less cats, 17 less dogs, and seven more small animals compared to the previous week. We were able to reunite seven dogs and two cats with their owners (This is two less dogs and one more cat compared to the previous week).

14 animals were humanely euthanized last week; 11 were due to illness, injuries or quality of lifer, and three were due to behavior. As the community’s safety net, we take these decisions to heart. They are made only when all other options have been exhausted, and always with kindness, respect, and the goal of preventing suffering. These moments are incredibly difficult for our team; each one weighs heavily, as our staff care deeply about every animal that comes through our doors.

Community Support
Last week we received 64 surrender requests for cats and 46 surrender requests for dogs. The median time between a completed application to surrender appointment last week was three days for cats and two days for dogs. Same day emergency surrender appointments are available every day for situations that require immediate relinquishment.
