  • Foster | Pet Network

    We need your support to continue our impact! Come volunteer with us or foster a pet to support our mission at Pet Network. 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 for a quick introduction to our Foster Program. It's never been easier to help us save lives! Mountain Buddies Day Foster Program Looking for a fun way to spend time with a shelter dog? Our Mountain Buddies program gives volunteers and foster caregivers the opportunity to take a dog out of the shelter for the day. Whether you head out for a hike, relax at home, explore a dog-friendly park, or enjoy lunch on a pet-friendly patio, your outing provides valuable enrichment while helping us learn more about each dog's personality outside the shelter. These day trips help reduce stress, build confidence, and provide information that can help dogs find the right adoptive home. The Mountain Buddies program is available to both approved volunteers and foster caregivers. The easiest way to sign up is by completing our Dog Foster Questionnaire . Once approved, our team will work with you to schedule an outing. **Please note:** While we do our best to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee that a dog will be available for an outing on any given day. Dog availability depends on each animal's medical, behavioral, and adoption needs. Start Fostering a Pet Today!

  • Pet Resources | Pet Network

    We at Pet Network are dedicated to providing pet parents with Pet Resources to set you and your dog or cat up for success. Helpful Resources for Pet Parents Many pet owners need help and support to keep their animals happy and healthy. Here are a few resources you may find helpful! Lost Pet? Here are some contacts to help you find your loved one. Tahoe Facebook Group Washoe County Animal Control Rehoming & Surrender What do I do if I think I can't keep my pet? 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. What support do I need to keep my pet? 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. Could one of my friends or family members take my pet? 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! What if I want to choose my pet’s new family? 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. I’ve tried everything else, and I need to surrender my pet to a shelter 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. Requirements and conditions for surrender to Pet Network (must read prior to completing questionnaire) 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. Can you recommend a good dog trainer? 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.

  • Shelter Medicine | Pet Network

    Through our Shelter Medicine at Pet Network, we provide all of the vaccinations, exams, procedures and more all before you adopt from us. Shelter Medicine Why Adopt From Us? All animals receive the following: A wellness exam from the veterinary team with medical diagnostics and treatment as needed Spay or neuter surgery A microchip that is registered for you at time of adoption All animals are started on a once-a-month preventative that defends against Fleas, Ticks, Heartworm, Ear Mites, Hookworms, Roundworms, and Sarcoptic Mange All core vaccines and vaccines appropriate for the age and species and risk Preventative deworming for roundworm, hookworm and some protozoa, along with further testing if symptoms are present. Fear free medication to help with adjustment to a new home as needed Counseling and post adoption support 10% discount at the Pet Network Community Hospital Additional services and treatments administered depending on age, species, and symptoms: Treatment for dental disease if gingivitis, periodontal disease, loose teeth or calculus buildup is noted by the veterinary team FIV/FeLV testing of cats Bloodwork for seniors Heartworm and tick disease testing for animals from high risk areas determined by the American Heartworm Society (AHS) and Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) Post Adoption Medical Care We provide post adoption medical care to our animals up to 30 days post adoptions for medical concerns related to previously described conditions or conditions arising due to its shelter stay such as surgical incision rechecks, suture removal, kennel cough or URI symptoms, and fear free medication needs. We do not cover vaccine boosters as we urge our adopters to use this opportunity to get their new animals established at their family veterinarian and discuss wellness needs (see AAHA and AVMA wellness recommendations linked below). Boosters are scheduled to occur 2 weeks after initial vaccination while at the shelter due to the high risk of exposure while in a shelter setting. Once you bring your animal home, the recommendation is to have any needed boosters scheduled anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks after their previous vaccination. If you are unable to get an appointment with a veterinarian in that time frame, please contact us. Canine AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Feline AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Fear Free Care and Fear Free Medication There is a very positive, growing movement in shelter and veterinary medicine called Fear Free. This aims to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress in animals that is associated with new situations including being in a shelter environment. Your new animal might have been started on medication to reduce fear, anxiety, stress and/or frustration (FAS) while in the shelter environment. We think this animal will also benefit from some help adjusting to their new home or foster home. We have prescribed a short-term supply of medication to ease the transition. This short-term supply may be recommended for up to a couple of weeks in the new home. If your new animal was started on fear free medication while with Pet Network Humane Society, the medication will be sent home with instructions. Long-term medication should not be needed once the animal has adjusted to the new home. The most common side effect is sedation, which will resolve when the drug is stopped, or the dose reduced. If unwanted side effects are noted, or your animal is adjusting well, we recommend you slowly decrease your animals’ medication over several days to allow a slow transition and to be able to notice any change in the animals needs during this transition. Retrovirus (FIV/FeLV) Testing Because recommendations will differ based on each person’s home situation we recommend you speak with your veterinarian or make an appointment at our community hospital for help determining what is best for your new cat and your family. After Surgery Pet Care Instructions Read our full list of Post Surgery Instructions & Restrictions. AAHA and AVMA Wellness Recommendations Recommendations by the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association preventive healthcare guidelines task force. Canine AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Feline AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Noncore vaccines include FeLV, leptospirosis, influenza and more. Additional testing or treatment than what was done at Pet Network Humane Society might be recommended based on your location, lifestyle and health needs of the humans and other animals in the home. Please speak to your veterinarian to determine what wellness plan is best for you and your new friend(s). Dental Health Dental health is a commonly overlooked part of an animal’s overall health and wellbeing. Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats – by the time an animal is 3 years old, he or she will very likely have some early evidence of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the pet’s mouth. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart disease, diabetes, and infection. Additionally, the pain of dental disease can make some animals become irritable or aggressive. Every animal that would benefit from a dental work up and procedure (due to periodontal disease, gingivitis, tooth mobility, and/or moderate or severe calculus) receives a comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment (COHAT) while under Pet Network Humane Society's care. A COHAT includes full mouth radiographs (x-rays), a veterinarian exam of all the teeth and radiographs, extractions when needed, teeth cleaning and polishing while under general anesthesia. This not only guarantees the pet is in its best medical condition when adopted but also eliminates the burden of the cost of a dental procedure on the new owners. Is Pet Network Humane Society AAHA accredited? YES! Pet Network Humane Society's shelter medicine program is one of only 11 shelters nationwide to achieve AAHA accreditation, recognizing our commitment to providing the highest-quality care to animals in need—whether they're waiting for a loving home or receiving medical treatment in our shelter. February is Spay & Neuter Awareness Month! Spaying and neutering not only help control pet overpopulation but also provide numerous health and behavioral benefits for your furry friends. By choosing to spay or neuter your pets, you’re helping reduce the number of homeless animals and ensuring a healthier, happier life for your beloved companions.
