Event Details
Looking for a pet? Cats and dogs will be available for adoption for free from dozens of shelters and rescue groups Friday and Saturday Nov. 16-17 across Nevada, from Las Vegas to Winnemucca and Reno to Elko.
The reason adoption fees can be waived is that Maddie's® Pet Project in Nevada will award $300 to animal organizations for every single dog and cat they adopt.

Funding for this statewide adoption event is made possible by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, a private charitable foundation based at Lake Tahoe.
