Our Featured Pets...
Our featured dog is "Frito." This handsome mature man is very energetic and smart. Frito would do well as the sole dog in your home. Click on his picture to learn his full story.
Our Mission - Although we are working toward our long term goal of building a full-service animal shelter, until then we are working to save lives with foster families and homes willing to take a dog or cat in until a new forever home can be found. If you have pet experience, and room in your heart and home, please call so that we can give you the details on how you can make a difference. We supply veterinary services, food and supplies. You supply the love. Please phone us at 775-625-4356.
In support of the Winnemucca City Council decision to resind "No Dogs Allowed In Park" signs at most of the city parks, FOCCAS will provide and supply doggie "pick-up" stations. The initial purchase lot will consist of eight stations, at approximately $250 each. FOCCAS is looking for sponsors to help provide funding for these stations, as we did for the Kuranda dog beds at the City-County Animal Control Shelter. Sponsors will be acknowledged with a name plaque on each station. If you would like to be a sponsor, please call Tim at (775) 625-4357. Because we like our supporters to be kept informed we produce our newsletter "Four Paws Press". To keep costs down though, we will not do the mass mailings as we have in the past. We will instead, keep it posted on our website here, so it can be read or printed out at any time during the month. If you would like an electronic mailing of it, please send your email address to: thedoghouse@truevine.net. Or, if you would like a paper copy sent to you on a monthly basis, we would ask that you send us your request along with a $12.00 donation to help with the cost of postage and printing. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to serving you in this way, once again.
Alleviate the financial stress associated with your pet’s unexpected medical expenses and generate funds for our shelter at the same time! Simply apply for a ShelterCare Pet Insurance Program by using the ShelterCare banner-link (above). Here’s how it works: ShelterCare Pet Insurance Programs cover you when your pet needs essential veterinary care from an illness or injury. Also, every time a completed application for a ShelterCare program is generated through our shelter’s website, we automatically receive a $25 donation to help cover common needs like blankets, litter and food. This donation is of no cost to you and provides us with essential funds. Make the right move and enroll today!
FOCCAS holds adoption events with dogs from local shelters and directly surrendered dogs on alternating Sundays at PETCO, South Virginia Street at McCarren, Reno. The hours are 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Our next PETCO event will be Sunday, November 8. Come check out the adoptable dogs and you might find your new best friend and save a life, as well.
Winnemucca and Humboldt County residents did you know there is help available to get your dog or cat spayed or neutered? The City of Winnemucca and Humboldt County along with our local veterinarians provide vouchers to offset some of the cost of a spay or neuter.
If you need to spay or neuter your dog or cat, just bring it's current rabies vaccination certificate to the police/sheriff information desk, located inside the courthouse at 25 W. 5th Street, Winnemucca. The friendly staff will issue a discount voucher ($25 for spays and $15 for neuters). Give the voucher to the local veterinarian performing the procedure to collect the discount.

Pet Relocation Sevice - FOCCAS would prefer that all companion animal owners include their canine family members in any plan to move or other major life change. But, we know that situations can overwhelm anyone. FOCCAS can help find a new home for your dog. Click here to view our Relocation Fee Schedule.
Transportation Service - If you are from a shelter or rescue group and need help to get a dog "down the road" to a new home within 200 miles of Winnemucca, FOCCAS can help. Please call us to discuss your need. Depending on our schedule, we may be able to accomodate longer distances, as well. Please remember the rising cost of fuel and vehicle maintenance. Since each transportation request is different, our fees will vary.
