My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m Big Papa. I might look like a big, strong pup, but inside I’m a gentle soul who likes to take things slow. New places and faces can make me a little worried, so I’ll hang back at first and watch the world quietly. But once I know I’m safe, my sweet side shines through—I love soft pets, calm voices, and those moments where I can just lean in and feel loved. I’m shy, but I’m learning every day, and with patience and kindness, I’ll be the most loyal friend you could ask for.

Additional adoption info

Each adoption consists of an interview, application, counseling session, and adoption contract. All adoptions are handled on a case-by-case basis, but most adoptions are first-come, first-served, and holds cannot be placed in advance for someone to meet with an animal. All animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Please see http://www.nevadahumanesociety.org/ for more information including all currently available animals, adoption prices, resources, and events.

More about this shelter

Nevada Humane Society is a non-profit organization whose lifesaving work is made possible through donations. In 2007, NHS became a no-kill shelter and launched a bold effort to help Washoe County become a no-kill community. In 2014, NHS expanded lifesaving efforts to include Carson City. Today, more than 70,000 animals have been placed into loving homes since 2007 and NHS continues to grow, maintaining its status as one of the top communities in the country for saving homeless pets.
