Exciting Announcement

The City of Elko Animal Shelter is incredibly proud to announce that, for the first time in our history, we have achieved a SAVE Rate  for our animals to be considered a “No-Kill”  Animal Shelter.  

 The Elko Animal Shelter & LASSO have worked tirelessly this year to save as many pets as possible 

 As we reflect on 2024, we are proud of what we accomplished and all the lives that we saved but the need continues to grow. We want to be there to help the pets and people that need us in 2025 – will you join us?
