At Pet Network, we understand that giving up a pet can be a very hard choice. We are here to provide support to keep pets out of the shelter and in loving homes.

We want to help you and your pet stay together if at all possible, and we understand that emergencies and difficult situations are a part of life. We offer pet food assistance, training and behavioral resources, and affordable vet care.

Try asking people you know; somebody who is already familiar with your pet and their likes, dislikes, and behavior might be more easily able to adopt them or keep them temporarily. Being able to visit or check on how your pet is doing is always a plus!

There are lots of websites that help you find a new home for your pet if keeping them with you just won’t work. You can use a site like Home to Home, or Rehome, or use social media outlets like Nextdoor or Facebook; this group, and this group are great starting points. Petfinder also has some great tips for rehoming and how to minimize stress during the transition period.

Where did you originally adopt your pet from? Many rescues or shelters require or encourage you to bring the animal back if you’re not able to care for it. Pet Network will accept a return of an animal adopted from us, no matter how long ago the adoption was. Please give us a call at 775-832-4404 ext. 100 if this is the case so we can help!

If your pet was not adopted from Pet Network, please read the requirements below to see if your pet qualifies for surrender through our shelter.

• Surrender is by appointment only.

• You must be the legal owner of the pet you are surrendering and over the age of 18.

• You must live within Incline Village, NV (Don't live in Incline? Please contact Nevada Humane Society or SPCA of Northern Nevada to discuss surrendering your pet; otherwise a list of shelters near you can be found here).

• Completion of the questionnaire does not guarantee acceptance of your pet.

• Due to limited capacity, we are not able to keep you up-to-date on your surrendered pet's adoption status. Pet Network does not guarantee placement of any animal or the length of time the animal will be held for adoption.

To begin the process of surrendering to Pet Network, please complete either the cat questionnaire or dog questionnaire and a staff member will reach out to you within 72 hours.

Finding the right dog trainer is an important step in ensuring a happy and well-adjusted canine companion. Every dog is unique, with its own personality, temperament and learning style. That is why it is essential to choose a trainer who understands the importance of personalized training tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Look for trainers who are certified by reputable organizations, provide positive reinforcement methods only, and have experience with a variety of breeds and behavioral issues. Seek out recommendations from other pet owners and read reviews to get a sense of a trainer’s reputation and success with other dogs.
