Saving Lives, Strengthening Community: Nevada SPCA’s Mission with Lori Heeren
On this episode of The Middle Ground Radio Show, Tom Letizia sits down with Lori Heeren, Executive Director of the Nevada SPCA, to talk about the critical role the organization plays in Southern Nevada. Lori shares the unique difference between the community-funded, no-kill Nevada SPCA and the county-contracted Animal Foundation, explaining how their independent model relies entirely on local donations and volunteers.
The conversation dives into the recent $39 million county shelter announcement, the importance of the Sam Boyd emergency shelter, and Clark County’s new microchip law, where Nevada SPCA is helping lead the way with $5 weekly microchip clinics. Lori also highlights their community support programs that help struggling families afford pet food and veterinary care in the face of rising post-pandemic costs.
Through powerful success stories and candid discussion, Lori underscores why animal rescue is not just about saving pets but also about strengthening families and the Las Vegas community.
