Organizations Filed Purposes:
LAS VEGAS VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE WELFARE OF ANIMALS IN SOUTHERN NEVADA. THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY EMPHASIS IS ON STRAY AND ABANDONED ANIMALS AND REDUCING ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION.
THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION OF REDUCING ANIMAL OVERPOPULATION IS MET PRIMARILY THROUGH ITS TRAP-VACCINATE-NEUTER-AND RETURN TO CARETAKER PROGRAM (TNVR) FOR FERAL CATS (THE LARGEST OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM) AT NO COST TO THE CARETAKER. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE ORGANIZATION TRAPPED AND PAID FOR THE SPAY/NEUTER OF 801 FERAL CATS, NOT INCLUDING FERAL CATS PAID FOR UNDER THE COUNTY GRANT. WORKING WITH OTHER LOW COST CLINICS, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SERVES AS A REFERRAL CENTER FOR PEOPLE NEEDING EITHER SOME ASSISTANCE OR HAVING A COMPLETE INABILITY TO PAY. IT CONTINUES TO PAY FOR SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR BOTH DOGS AND CATS. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, THE ORGANIZATION, THROUGH ITS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SPAYED AND NEUTERED 345 OWNED CATS AND DOGS. DURING THE YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PAID FOR THE SPAY/NEUTER OF 369 ABANDONED ANIMALS AS A PART OF ITS ADOPTION PROGRAM, FOR A TOTAL OF 1,515 ANIMALS SPAYED AND NEUTERED DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020.
AS A PART OF ITS RESCUE/REHAB PROGRAM, ANIMALS ARE RE-SOCIALIZED IN PRIVATE HOMES UNTIL THEY CAN BE ADOPTED OUT. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT TAKE ANIMALS OUT OF LOCAL SHELTERS, BUT RESCUES OFF OF THE STREETS, AS THERE ARE MANY STRAY ANIMALS IN THE VALLEY. MEDICAL AND FOOD COSTS ARE PROVIDED TO THESE HOMES. FRACTURED PELVISES AND AMPUTATED LIMBS ALL TAKE TIME TO HEAL AND REQUIRE REHABILITATION AND SOCIALIZATION. THESE ANIMALS ARE SPAYED / NEUTERED / VACCINATED / MICROCHIPPED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. THE ORGANIZATION TAKES BACK ITS ANIMALS IF THEY ARE LATER ABANDONED. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, 541 ANIMALS WERE RE-HOMED.
THE ORGANIZATION'S RESCUE/REHABILITATION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO BE UNIQUE IN THE SOUTHERN NEVADA AREA. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES A HOTLINE NUMBER WHICH IS ANSWERED BY AN INDIVIDUAL 7 DAYS A WEEK, 8 HOURS A DAY FOR ANIMALS IN DISTRESS THAT ARE FERAL, STRAY, OR ABANDONED. THE FIRST PRIORITY IS ANIMALS WITH INJURIES. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR SUCH ANIMALS AS WELL AS REHABILITATION WHEN NECESSARY. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020, MORE THAT 493 ANIMALS REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT-FROM FERAL MALES CATS WITH ABSCESSES TO BROKEN LEGS ON STRAY DOGS WHICH HAD TO BE TRAPPED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION IS ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF AGENCIES OUTSIDE OF ANIMAL CONTROL TRAPPING DOGS.
