The SPCA, founded in 1998, is Reno's original no-kill animal shelter. Our mission is to be an innovative regional leader in responsible treatment of homeless cats and dogs, primarily through their rescue and placement in forever loving homes and by promoting spaying and neutering to control pet overpopulation. We accomplish our mission with dedication to our core values and a lifetime commitment to our animals.

The SPCA difference

• We are privately funded and can be selective about the animals we bring into the shelter.
• We take more at-risk animals with health or behavioral issues facing euthanasia.
• We provide increased individual attention to all of our animals and volunteers.
• Knowing the animals personally allows us to make the best possible match between animal and adopter.
• We make a lifetime commitment to every animal we shelter.
• Our staff is highly trained and committed to providing the best experience to the community.
• We are developing many new programs to educate our community.
• We test all of our Felines for FELV/FIV.
