Would you donate to a local nonprofit helping families afford pet veterinary care?
Pet owners in Reno and across Northern Nevada who struggle to pay for care have a new way to stretch their dollars. Options Veterinary Care is launching a Giving Tuesday campaign that will match donations dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, through Tuesday, December 1, 2026.
Why it matters
The clinic says veterinary costs keep climbing while a nationwide shortage of veterinary professionals squeezes access to care. For Reno households on tight budgets, a matched gift can keep a sick dog or cat from being left untreated.
Options Veterinary Care says it will match donations dollar for dollar up to $50,000 and cared for more than 8,200 pets in 2025, with over 70% of its clients low-income seniors. The source does not report how much of the match has been raised so far.
The players

A nonprofit veterinary clinic in Reno providing affordable care to people facing financial hardship across Northern Nevada.
The details
Options Veterinary Care provides affordable veterinary services to people facing financial hardship across Northern Nevada, serving low-income seniors, families with low wages, people with disabilities, and local animal rescue groups. Supporters can donate online, share the campaign, or start personal fundraising pages to help meet the matching pledge. The clinic is at 4690 Longley Lane, Suite 1 in Reno, where it will also host a community open house from 2 to 4 p.m. on December 1.

The Truckee Meadows View
Options Veterinary Care frames its Giving Tuesday push as a response to the national shortage of veterinary professionals, which the clinic says adds pressure on access to care in Northern Nevada. The campaign extends the clinic's year-round work for low-income pet owners into a single, time-limited matching drive.
If you have a pet and are struggling with bills, the clinic's affordable care may be within reach, and donations you make before December 1 will be doubled up to the campaign cap. Dropping by the open house from 2 to 4 p.m. on December 1 is a simple way to see the clinic and ask questions in person.
The takeaway
Every dollar donated before the campaign closes on December 1 is matched, so a gift now goes twice as far for Reno pets in need. Mark the 2 to 4 p.m. open house on December 1 at 4690 Longley Lane if you want to visit the clinic.
What happens next
The Giving Tuesday matching campaign closes on December 1, 2026, and the clinic's community open house runs from 2 to 4 p.m. that same day at 4690 Longley Lane, Suite 1 in Reno.
