Being a part of rural Nevada means we share our beautiful county with animals of every shape and size. Normally this relationship between animals and people is quite peaceful. However, there are instances when a wild animal may be injured, is blocking traffic on a highway, or may be intruding on a populated area.

In those instances, we urge residents to contact dispatch at 775-847-0950, so that our office can tend to the animal and preserve the safety of both people and wildlife.

Occasionally, our office enlists the support of state personnel and agencies, such as:

• State Brand Inspector
• Nevada Department of Wildlife
• Nevada Department of Agriculture
• Wild Horse Connection
• VRWPA (Virginia Range Wildlife Protection Association)
