Fees, requirements & process

From $20

Cats: $40, or $20 for cats 5 years and older; Kittens: $50. Includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping. Discounted pricing runs frequently at special events.

Requirements

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.
