About Ray of Hope Humane Society

We are a very small Organization located in Hawthorne, Nevada. We serve the entire County of approximately 5,000 people who are mainly elderly, handicapped and low income. The nearest town to us is approximately 70 miles away (either Fallon or Yerington). Fallon is bigger in that it has a Wal Mart and several restaurants.

We do not have a Vet in Mineral County. Because of this we are required to go to another County for our Vet service. Dr. Lisa Hayden out of Yerington is who we typically use, but we have also used the Lahontan Valley Vet in Fallon.

We get a lot of critters from people driving through from Reno to Las Vegas or Vegas to Reno. The critters come from people who let them out to exercise and relieve themselves and the owners can't get their loved ones back. We also get a lot of critters from the elderly that end up in the hospital (this is where most of our critters come from). We of course get critters from the usual ways too.

Because the County needed help with the huge number of critters we were created and are trying to help. Along the way we have helped many humans and many more critters that so desperately need a human to voice their problems.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Hawthorne, NV.

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.
