When Nevada Humane Society took over management of CCAS, the life saving rate was just 55% – an enormous disparity from the 90% plus that Washoe County has achieved since committing to a no-kill community in 2006. When Nevada Humane Society officially assumed leadership of animal services in neighboring Carson City on October 1, 2014, we did so with one goal in mind: to transform Nevada’s capital city into the state’s second metropolitan area to become a no-kill community, where all healthy, treatable, and rehabilitatable animals are saved. NHS is committed to helping CCAS significantly boost its live release rate as well as streamline operations for more effective service delivery.
Though geographically close to Washoe County, Carson City is currently worlds away in its lifesaving animal efforts. CCAS is responsible for community pet adoptions as well as dog licensing, bite investigations, reporting lost and found animals and enforcement of state and local animal regulations, except wildlife. In August of 2014, City Manager Nick Marano announced a new public/private partnership between Nevada Humane Society and Carson City Animal Services (CCAS) designed to launch a new chapter in animal services in Nevada’s capital city.Ĭarson City, an independent city of almost 60,000 residents, lies 30 miles south of Reno and adjacent to Washoe County, the primary service area of NHS.
