Washoe County Under Attack by Anti No-Kill Extremists

For those who are familiar with the No Kill movement, Washoe County Nevada is a shining example of No Kill success. With an annual intake of more than 15,000 animals, this community maintains a 90%+ save rate, and is a fabulous model for mutual respect and cooperation between the Nevada Humane Society and animal services.

But despite this success, there are still No Kill opponents who would like to see these incredible accomplishments fall by the wayside - opponents who want the county to return to killing. A recently formed political action committee called NvPAW is trying to impede the passage of a code change that would protect the access of rescue groups to animals in jeopardy.

Please write to the County Commissioners and express your support for the Nevada Humane Society and your opposition to the agenda of NvPAW!

We must stand with the No Kill advocates in Washoe County who have worked tirelessly to save the lives of thousands of Nevada animals. Let your voice be heard!
