Nevada Animal Owners Alliance, (NAOA), is a non-profit organization of animals lovers that have come together to help and protect individual rights to own, purchase, breed, and work with animals of all species.

Our staff consists of volunteers. However, education aimed at the public, efforts to legislatively fight well funded national groups whose aim is to restrict animal ownership, and growing a program to provide support for animal owners in need of assistance here in Nevada, necessitates that we seek donations and do some fundraising.

If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution to assist us in preserving and protecting animal ownership, or to help us help animals in need, please Donate here:http://www.nevadaanimalowners.com/donate/
