Volunteer Questionnaire Contact the Pet Network Volunteer Coordinator 775.832.4404 ext. 106 volunteer@petnetwork.org Foster Pet Network works to save the lives of as many animals as possible. A crucial piece in that goal is our foster program. Fosters temporarily house animals in their own homes and provide care to those animals. Being a foster parent is an extremely rewarding and important selfless act that enhances the lives of our shelter pets. Animals can go into foster care for many reasons, such as: Illness/recovery from an illness Reduce amount of time spent in the shelter Pregnant/nursing mothers and their litters Orphaned kittens and puppies Animals too young for spay/neuter Animals who need socialization Animals with behavior needs Senior animals Fostering allows you to have the companionship of an animal, without the lifelong commitment of a pet ownership-- an option great for seasonal residents! Additionally, Pet Network provides the majority of essentials for providing care to the animals. This includes items such as food, medication, litter/boxes, and more. We also provide veterinary care to all animals in our foster program. Getting started: Watch this video below for a quick introduction to our Foster Program. It's never been easier to help us save lives! Mountain Buddies is closed for the season. We can't wait to adventure with you next year. What can I expect when I adopt an animal from Pet Network?

Make an Impact with Your Donor-Advised Fund A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, tax-smart way to support the lifesaving work of Pet Network Humane Society. Whether you want to give now or grow your gift over time, a DAF allows you to maximize the benefits of charitable giving while helping our mission to save and improve the lives of animals in need. Benefits of Donating Through a DAF 1. Tax Advantages When you contribute to a DAF, you’re eligible for an immediate tax deduction, even though your gift may be distributed over time. The assets in your DAF can grow tax-free, potentially allowing for greater giving in the future. 2. Flexible Giving A DAF offers you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often you wish to give, allowing you to support Pet Network Humane Society’s critical programs when it matters most. 3. Strategic Donations A DAF allows you to contribute cash, stocks, or other assets when it's most beneficial for your financial situation. Then, you can recommend grants to the causes you care about over time, helping you plan your charitable giving strategically. How to Give to Pet Network Humane Society Using a Donor-Advised Fund 1. Establish Your DAF If you don’t already have a Donor Advised Fund, you can set one up through a sponsoring organization like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or your local community foundation, such as Parasol. 2. Recommend a Grant Once your fund is established, log in to your DAF provider's online platform and recommend a grant to Pet Network Humane Society. You will typically need to provide our details: Legal Name: Pet Network Humane Society Tax ID/EIN: 94-3162646 Address: 401 Village Blvd., Incline Village, NV 89451 DTC Clearing #: 0164, Code 40 Brokerage Firm: Charles Schwab Credit Account: Pet Network Humane Society Routing Number: 0710000134 3. Let Us Know About Your Gift To ensure we can properly acknowledge your gift, please notify us when you’ve made a grant recommendation. You can contact Kimberly Highfill our Finance Director at finance@petnetwork.org or (775) 832-4404 x 102. 4. Support What Matters Most With your DAF gift, you can choose to support one of our specific programs—critical medical care, adoption support, or operational costs—or make an unrestricted gift that allows us to use the funds where they’re needed most.

Pet Network Humane Society's Giving Tuesday 2023. I hope this message finds you wrapped in warmth, perhaps with a furry friend snuggled close, providing comfort and companionship. I'm reaching out on behalf of the animals at Pet Network Humane Society, the ones who are still waiting for their loving home.
