Adopting in Reno, NV

Reno's outdoor lifestyle and proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains make it an exciting city for pet adoption. Local shelters have many adventurous animals ready to explore the Biggest Little City with a new family who loves the outdoors.

From Truckee River walks through the heart of town to mountain hikes just minutes away, Reno offers adopted pets an active, nature-filled life with over 300 days of sunshine each year.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Reno's high desert climate brings wide temperature swings - hot summers around 92-94°F and cold winters of 25-40°F with moderate snowfall. The dry air and intense sun at 4,500 feet elevation mean pets need extra water and sun protection. Spring winds can kick up dust, and winter nights can drop below freezing, so adjust walk schedules seasonally.
