Resources That Keep Paradise Pets and Owners Together

Our care for animals doesn’t stop at adoption; it reaches into homes across Paradise through our community support programs. We firmly believe that pets thrive best alongside the families who cherish them, so when hard times hit, we step in to help owners hold on to the companions they love. Powered entirely by grants and donations, these programs ease the burden during tough stretches and help families avoid the heartbreak of surrendering a pet they love. Our veterinary assistance programs open the door to medical care that might otherwise feel out of reach, while our pet pantry food assistance ensures no animal goes hungry when money is tight. We also provide $5 microchipping, a simple step that dramatically improves the odds of a lost pet making it safely home. If keeping your pet healthy and cared for in Paradise feels overwhelming right now, reach out, because we’re in your corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the adoption process?

Nevada SPCA is a walk-in shelter, and adoptions are based in first come, first served. The adoption process typically takes about an hour. During this time, you'll meet the pet and speak with our knowledgeable staff to ensure that they're a good fit for your home and lifestyle. If it's a good match, you can complete the application and bring your pet home the same day. You must be 18+ years of age to adopt and provide a valid photo ID with current address. A meet-and-greet with any current household dogs is required for some dogs. If you are renting, you are responsible for checking your lease agreement for any pet restrictions including and not limited to breed and size.

Am I responsible for veterinary care once this pet is adopted?

Once the adoption is finalized, you are responsible for establishing care for your pet at a veterinary clinic of your choice. We will provide you with the pet's current medical records at the time of adoption.

What is an FTA?

FTA stands for Foster to Adopt. Any animal with "FTA" listed after their name is part of our Foster to Adopt program. Nevada SPCA's Foster to Adopt program allows pets - typically young puppies and kittens who are not yet old enough or large enough to be spayed or neutered - to go into loving homes before their surgery. These animals stay with their foster family until they are ready for their procedure, at which point the adoption is finalized. This program is crucial because it keeps young animals out of the shelter during their critical developmental months and allows Nevada SPCA to help more pets in need by freeing up shelter space.

Nova’s resilience and gentle spirit have shined brightly despite the pain this sweet girl has endured. ❤️‍🩹

She came into our care after surviving a devastating dog attack that left her with deep wounds requiring immediate veterinary care through our partners at @companionah_lv.⁣⁣

Through it all, Nova kept her tail wagging and remained trusting, affectionate, and full of love. And now, she gets to leave her difficult past behind. ✨⁣⁣

We couldn’t be happier that Nova has been adopted and gets to begin this next chapter surrounded by the unconditional love she has always deserved. 💫⁣⁣

Happy tails, sweet Nova! 🐾🏡
