Shelter at Capacity Needs Your Help | Reno News

Washoe County’s dog kennels are at critical capacity with 86 out of 110 occupied—just shy of the 77-full threshold that triggers alarm. With no control over how or when animals leave, the shelter relies entirely on rescue partners to move dogs out, making community involvement vital. Cats are unaffected, sitting at 60% capacity. To help, check the shelter’s constantly updated website for transferable dogs, and adopt through rescue partners—Nevada Humane Society gets first priority. A full list of rescue groups with contacts is available online. This crisis underscores how every adopter and partner plays a crucial role in keeping shelters from becoming overwhelmed.
