homeless animals

While many things have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 shut down, which has essentially ground our normal daily lives to a halt, one thing that it has affected positively have been homeless animals.

Carson Animal Services Initiative would like to thank everyone who joined us on May 18 for our annual Woofs, Wine and Whiskers wine tasting event. Once again people came together to help animals in need, and we are grateful!
CASI continues to assist the community through our Critter Fixer low-cost spay/neuter voucher program for low-income applicants.

On the surface, olive oil and balsamic vinegar have little to do with homelessness. But here in Carson City, they have become a big deal.

Last month, noted area Chef Don Pepe, owner of Carpa Nevada LLC, sold more than $1,000 worth of his fine imported Portuguese olive oil and balsamic vinegars through Downtown Coin in Carson City.

The entire proceeds, totaling $400 in profit, were then donated to “Pets of the Homeless,” a Carson City-based non-profit organization that helps provide food and veterinary care for homeless companions nationwide.

Nevada Humane Society wants you to ring in the New Year by making a resolution to neuter your male dog or cat during their Happy Neuter Year campaign. At this time, the only appointments left are for small, male dogs and male cats.

Each year, Nevada Humane Society sets aside time to pay tribute to the pets in our lives, past and present. The holiday season is a time to show our animal companions how much they mean to us, and our annual Lights of Love is a touching way to do just that.

Last month in Carson City the Nevada Humane Society lent a hand to help save a number of animals and is an example of what Lights of Love is about.

During the month of April, Nevada Humane Society will offer no-cost spay and neuter surgeries, plus free rabies vaccinations in Carson City and Washoe County as part of Community Cat, PetSmart Charities’ spay/neuter campaign to alter free-roaming cats.

If left unaltered, unowned feral and stray cats produce large quantities of unwanted kittens each spring, flooding local animal shelters and leading to higher euthanasia rates.

Warmer weather may still be months away, but Nevada Humane Society wants you to Beat the Heat by spaying your cat in advance of her heat cycle and preventing unwanted litters from being born this spring.
