Canine Rehabilitation Center and Cat Sanctuary

What Canine Rehabilitation Center and Cat Sanctuary does

Canine Rehabilitation Center and Cat Sanctuary (CRCCS), operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN #90-0687180), is a regional animal welfare organization headquartered on a 5.2-acre campus at 555 US Hwy 395, North Washoe Valley, Nevada. Its core function is the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of dogs that partner shelters have classified as "unadoptable" because of behavioral issues, trauma, or long-term abuse. Rather than obedience-based training, CRCCS applies a behavior-based methodology in which staff and trainers conduct multi-step behavioral assessments and run a 2-6 month rehabilitation cycle for each dog before making it available for adoption, with lifelong post-adoption support to the adopting family.

The operating model is service-diversified rather than shelter-volume driven. Paid services include adoption fees, on-site, off-site, and online behavior classes, certification training, sleepover boarding at $40-$45 per night with doTERRA aromatherapy, day camp, and hospice care for end-of-life shelter dogs. Non-paid revenue flows through individual donations, the Circle of Friends monthly giving program, planned giving and legacy gifts, event ticket sales (DogTales Gala, Pins for Paws, Hikes for Hounds, SummerFest), and a recurring Guardian Angel Sponsorship program that attaches donor support to specific dogs at approximately $25/day or $750/month. Customers are individual adopters, regional partner shelters (SPCA of Northern Nevada, Nevada Humane Society, Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe, Washoe County Regional Animal Services, Lyon County Animal Services, Take Me Home Pet Rescue), and pet owners in the Reno-Washoe Valley area. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed financials, CRCCS is currently mid-build on a campus expansion project (Behavior Center, Recovery & Training Center, dedicated canine shelter, Cat Cottage) financed in part through a Founding Pawtners capital campaign.
