Reno Animal Donations for Rhino Rescue, Wild Horse Fence Repair and Anguilla Spay/Neuter

Rhino 911, a Reno-based conservation group founded in 2016, has responded to more than 140 calls for help since its inception. Its emergency work includes helicopter rescue, field treatment, and transport for rhinos injured or orphaned by poaching or natural causes.

Reno's animal giving map runs from the Virginia Range to public-land mustang adoptions, an Anguilla shelter, and rhino protection in South Africa. Animal giving here can stay close to home, along the fence lines and roads of the Virginia Range. It can also travel to public-land mustang adoptions, an island shelter on Anguilla, and rhino protection in South Africa. At the National Wild Horse Center, donations support wild horse and burro rescue, advocacy, and preservation projects.

Where to donate to protect animals in Reno, NV

Orphaned rhinos can be airlifted to safety and supported with special-formula milk through rhino orphanages. Rhino 911 also assists parks and preserves with protective dehorning, cataloguing and tagging animals. Trail cameras, internet connections, and ICOM ground-to-air radios support its anti-poaching work.

Rhino 911's anti-poaching work includes protective dehorning, cataloguing and tagging animals, while trail cameras, internet connections, and ICOM ground-to-air radios support anti-poaching operations. Back in Nevada, Rhino 911 supports ROTC and JROTC training, including development of raw land as a training facility. Reno is very much in this story, even when the helicopter is thousands of miles away.

In the Virginia Range, coexistence is fieldwork

East of Reno, the wild-horse question lives on actual ground, from open range and private property to highway edges and the fences that keep a bad encounter from becoming a dangerous one. The Wild Horse Preservation League, formed in 2001 and based in Dayton, works across Northwest Nevada, including the Virginia Range.

Its value lies in the unglamorous tools that let people and horses share a landscape with more care. The league operates a Wild Horse Hot Line for emergency and public-safety reports; coordinates fence-line repair with local government and property owners; and trains members in PZP birth control, WHIMS database use, Technical Large Animal Rescue, and related standards. It also takes education into schools and communities and monitors legislation affecting horses, burros, livestock, open space, and water rights.

“We strive to be a “VOICE” for wild horses,” the Wild Horse Preservation League says.

The hotline, fence coordination, management training, and public education turn that mission into fieldwork.

Adoption needs a runway

National Wild Horse Center Inc., based in Reno, focuses on the next chapter for wild horses and burros gathered from public lands. Its approach gives potential adopters a chance to see what these animals can do, while educational opportunities with top trainers aim to improve the odds that an adoption holds. It also provides a venue for agencies, rescue groups, and governmental organizations to offer horses and burros for adoption.

Educational opportunities with top trainers give prospective adopters practical support intended to improve adoption success.

On Anguilla, the work moves through the clinic door

Anguilla Animal Rescue Corporation, based in Nevada and working on Anguilla, gives surrendered and unwanted dogs and cats a sequence of care. Animals enter through Morlens Veterinary Clinic for observation, then are bathed, dewormed and vaccinated before moving to the shelter while the volunteer-run organization works toward adoption. International adopters receive help with travel, airline reservations, health certificates, and medical booklets.

The organization also tackles the intake problem before it reaches the shelter. AARF reports more than 7,500 adoptions, more than 7,000 spay/neuters, and $600,000 in spay/neuter surgery costs covered on Anguilla since 2003. Its Second Chances thrift store in The Valley generates revenue for shelter and education work. Milo and Mila's adoption story ends with a homecoming: “Going home day is happy for everyone.”

Its free spay/neuter program helps pay for feral dog and cat sterilization, including surgery and transportation.
