In a joint effort to combat an overwhelming overcapacity crisis, Washoe County Regional Animal Services (WCRAS) and Nevada Humane Society (NHS) wish to issue a heartfelt plea for immediate community support. WCRAS is facing an unprecedented challenge as, after over a week of operating at critical capacity, on Tuesday May 30, 2023, WCRAS dog kennels reached 100 percent capacity, and more dogs are continuing to arrive with nowhere to go.  While WCRAS isn’t an adoption agency, the animals that do not get reclaimed from WCRAS are made available for adoption by NHS, SPCA of Northern NV and many rescue group partners throughout our region. Many of these partnering shelters are also full.
