Reno's Nevada Humane Society Recognized As A Great Charity

Nevada Humane Society Receives Inaugural

Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity Seal

Nevada Humane Society was recently awarded the inaugural Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited charity seal, which carries vital importance for both donors and charities. Only organizations that come through a BBB review with a “meets all standards” conclusion are eligible to participate in the seal program.

“Charities that display the BBB Accredited Charity Seal can do so with pride,” says Timothy Johnston, President and CEO of Better Business Bureau serving Northern Nevada. “Not only are they attesting to their organizations’ adherence to sound standards, they are helping to increase donor confidence and strengthen public trust in giving.”

According to the BBB, when this seal is present, it represents that Nevada Humane Society has met the BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability. This process involved rigorous scrutiny of a Nevada Humane Society’s governance, effectiveness, finances and solicitations and informational materials—standards that go beyond what government regulators require. A visual of the seal is below.

“Nevada Humane Society is proud to have been awarded this prestigious and important accreditation from the BBB,” said Kevin Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for Nevada Humane Society. “It is demonstrative of NHS’ dedication to our cause and our open, honest relationship with our donors. NHS spends donor dollars incredibly shrewdly and we work diligently, daily to continue to prove to our community that NHS is a sound investment. Another feather in our cap, NHS is quickly becoming one of Northern Nevada’s most honored charities.”

Nevada Humane Society is open for adoptions seven days a week, from 11:00am to 6:30pm and an hour earlier at 10:00am on Saturdays. The shelter is located at 2825 Longley Lane in Reno.
