The Nevada Humane Society, Carson City branch currently has nine dogs, four puppies and two kittens being held as strays in Carson City. 

“The pets listed have recently come into our care in Carson City,” a spokesperson for the Humane Society wrote.  “They were either found by kindhearted individuals who couldn’t locate their owners or were picked up as strays by our Humane Enforcement Officers. All lost pets are held for five days to give their owners a chance to reclaim them. After this period, unclaimed pets become available for adoption, allowing them to find a new loving home.”

In addition to those listed in this log, there are also dozens of kittens and puppies that recently came into NHS, and are listed as “animal in custody,” but not as strays. Many appear to be only a few weeks old, and wouldn’t be up for adoption, but if you are interested in becoming a foster, please click here. 

Now, let’s get to the log!
