Welcome to ARGONN (Animal Rescue Group of Northern Nevada)
Headlines
Recap: Friday, April 27 & Saturday, April 28
This event was a resounding success, #thanks to Maddie! We adopted out 17 of our 19 available cats and kittens! It cleared the way for us to help so many more, particularly with kitten season upon us. Statewide, there were over 900 animals that found forever homes .... wow!! Save the date for the next Maddie's Pet Adoption Days coming up November 16 - 18.
It's Party Time! POSTPONED
It is with regret that we have to postpone our #1 fundraising event until later in the year. Due to health issues of all three of the major organizers of this event, we feel it is only fair to them to allow full recovery time before stepping into the enormous amount of time and effort it takes to make this event the huge success it has been in the past. We will post a new date probably for September or October. Thank you for your understanding.
TNR - off to a good start for the year
Our TNR program is moving right along. 1st quarter numbers are in: January - March 2018 we have already spayed/neutered 90 cats in the Fernley, Silver Springs and surrounding areas. This achievement is made possible by donations from YOU plus your family and friends. If you know of someone who is feeding feral cats, or an area where there is an accumulation of feral cats, please let us know - we can and will help!
About Us
- We are a group of individuals that have come together for the common purpose of addressing and dealing with the very difficult reality of rapidly growing populations of abandoned and feral animals in our communities. This situation is worsened by the lack of ordinances within Lyon County and the various townships within the county that would allow Animal Control Services to deal more effectively with felines. Our targeted areas of operation are Fernley, Silver Springs, Stagecoach, Dayton in Lyon County, Wadsworth in Washoe County, and Lovelock in Pershing County.
- We attempt to greatly increase public and civil awareness and sensitivity by creating informal partnerships or strategic alliances between ARGONN, the various city and county councils, and the community as a whole to begin to resolve this tragic situation. It is always our intention to accomplish this in a spirit of partnership and political agreement while avoiding antagonistic or inappropriate confrontation.
- We believe in an aggressive TNR (trap, neuter, return) program for feral cats in addition to an effective ‘foster to adoption’ promotion for non-feral pets. This is being done in concert with community campaigns designed to encourage existing pet owners to spay or neuter each of their family pets. To assist us, we are extremely grateful to our local veterinarian clinics who provide low cost spay and neuter programs designed particularly for the abandoned and feral cat populations.We do not have a shelter facility and rely on foster families to raise kittens or take care of cats pending adoption.
- We also provide a resource referral service designed to address individual situations affecting both feral and abandoned animals. Our pet food distribution network helps to minimize the chance of any pet going hungry.
- Our tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit status greatly enhances our efforts to develop partnerships and raise funds to achieve our objectives.
