Nevada's Big Give 3.21.19
This year was our 4th year participating in Nevada's Big Give. It turned out to be our best year yet, thanks to many amazingly generous donors. We finished the day with $1,300! Thank you so very much. We ranked 27th in the small organization category. If you haven't considered Nevada's day of giving yet, please join in next year. Even better, consider being a peer-to-peer fundraiser with your own fundraising effort on behalf of ARGONN, or talk to your employer about sponsoring matching donations up to a preset limit. It's fun, it's gratifying and most of all you are helping animals in your community.

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.
