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. Our cats and dogs benefit from socialization, exercise, mental stimulation, training, and more. From administrative support to at-home foster care and thrift store assistance, volunteers are instrumental to the lifesaving work we do at Pet Network. No special skills are needed, just compassion, patience, and the desire to learn. We provide all necessary training.
