Helping Pets & People in Las vegas, NV

Founded in 1982, Nevada SPCA is Southern Nevada’s original no-kill animal shelter and a trusted resource for Las Vegas families and their pets. As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on grants and the generosity of animal lovers like you. We do not receive funding from any national SPCA or ASPCA organization, nor from any government agency, which means every dollar you give stays right here, helping local animals in need. Each year, we take in more than 2,000 dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets, treating each one as an individual with a name, identity, and unique personality. Our commitment to trust and responsible care has earned Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating and Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency. When you choose Nevada SPCA, you choose a Las Vegas organization devoted to giving every animal a second chance at a loving home.

Whether you’re hoping to welcome a playful puppy, a mellow senior cat, a bonded pair, or a small companion animal, Nevada SPCA can help you find the right match for your Las Vegas home.

Each animal in our care is treated as an individual, and our knowledgeable adoption team is here to guide you through every step of the process so you can feel confident in your decision. We want every adoption to be a lifelong success for both you and your new best friend.

Fostering is one of the most meaningful ways to help shelter animals in the Las Vegas community, and our foster care family makes it possible for vulnerable pets to thrive while they wait for adoption. By opening your home to a foster pet, you give them a calm, nurturing place to grow, heal, and prepare for their forever family. Foster homes are especially valuable for young animals who are not yet old enough for adoption, pets recovering from medical treatment, and animals who simply need a break from the shelter environment. Whatever your schedule or experience level, Nevada SPCA provides the supplies, medical support, and guidance you need, so all you have to bring is your love and care. Fostering saves lives and creates space for us to help even more Las Vegas animals in need. If you’re ready to make a difference, we encourage you to join our foster care family today.

At Nevada SPCA, our commitment to animals extends beyond our shelter walls and into the heart of the Las Vegas community. We believe pets belong with the families who love them, which is why our community support programs help owners facing financial hardship keep their beloved companions at home. Funded entirely through grants and donations, these programs provide access to critical resources during difficult times and help prevent unnecessary surrenders to the shelter. Through our veterinary assistance programs, we connect pet owners with care they may not otherwise be able to afford, while our pet pantry food assistance helps keep bowls full when budgets are tight. We also offer $5 pet microchipping to give your furry family member the best chance of finding their way home if they ever become lost. If you need a little extra help caring for your pet in Las Vegas, we’re here for you and your four-legged loved ones.

Nevada SPCA provides all necessary medical care for every treatable animal, no matter the cost, and we are able to do so only because of the generosity of our community. As an independent nonprofit that receives no government funding and no support from any national SPCA or ASPCA organization, we depend on donations from individuals, businesses, and grants to fuel our mission. Your gift stays local, directly impacting the lives of Southern Nevada’s most vulnerable pets right here in Las Vegas. There are many meaningful ways to give, from one-time and monthly donations to in-kind contributions, vehicle donations, planned giving, and our Critical Need Fund for animals requiring extensive medical treatment. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ensure that another homeless pet receives the care, comfort, and second chance they deserve.
