About Animal House Shelter and Sactuary
Animal House is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in Elko, Nevada. We started in 2005 with a handful of volunteers. The small size of our group remains the same to this day although volunteers and foster homes are always welcome.
Our yearly monetary donations range from $20,000 to $25,000 and our average yearly expenditures are about the same. This includes: our spay and neuter program, veterinary care, vaccinations, and prescriptions. Average gifts in kind are around $16,000. This is what Animal House volunteers donate out of their own pockets to cover bills, gasoline, litter, kitten formula, collars, bottles, and etc. Travel expenses for adoption trips and transportation for animal care and picking up donations are also covered by volunteers. Most monetary donations are from companies. For fund raising, Animal House has bake sales and recycles aluminum cans.
Unfortunately, very few donations are actually from individuals in the community that we help. To say that we run on a thin margin is an understatement. We hope to grow our organization in the future to have a bigger impact on our community and for all animals in need.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
