Volunteer With Us
Already a volunteer?
Pet Network Humane Society relies on the generosity and support of our dedicated volunteers, donors, and community partners. Your contribution helps to fulfill Pet Network's mission to save the lives of adoptable dogs and cats across the region.
​
The animals we rescue from overcrowded shelters across Nevada, and beyond need much more than just food, shelter, and medical care. As a volunteer with us, you can show love, enrich, and exercise the animals during their stay with us - which not only benefits the animals but it feels darn good for you too!
​
No special skills are needed, just compassion, patience, and the desire to learn. We provide all necessary training.

Foster
Pet Network works to save the lives of as many animals as possible. A crucial piece in that goal is our foster program. Fosters temporarily house animals in their own homes and provide care to those animals.
Being a foster parent is an extremely rewarding and important selfless act that enhances the lives of our shelter pets.
Animals can go into foster care for many reasons, such as:
-
Illness/recovery from an illness
-
Reduce amount of time spent in the shelter
-
Pregnant/nursing mothers and their litters
-
Orphaned kittens and puppies
-
Animals too young for spay/neuter
-
Animals who need socialization
-
Animals with behavior needs
-
Senior animals
Fostering allows you to have the companionship of an animal, without the lifelong commitment of a pet ownership-- an option great for seasonal residents! Additionally, Pet Network provides the majority of essentials for providing care to the animals. This includes items such as food, medication, litter/boxes, and more. We also provide veterinary care to all animals in our foster program.
