A little more than a year and a half ago, the new 79-dog capacity no-kill Nye County Animal Shelter opened and promptly received a baptism by fire a few days later when more than 300 abused and neglected Caucasian shepherds were seized, overwhelming the facility’s capacities and resources, and capturing national headlines. These days, the shelter has returned to its normal intended function but with new leadership in place.
ASPCA flew nearly 100 dogs they described as suffering "horrific cruelty" to a Columbus, OH facility in what could be the largest one-time humanitarian animal transport in US History.
