GENO’S HOPE FUND

Community Member’s Gift to the Animals Cements Generous Legacy

With the support of our amazing Incline Village community, for over 30 years, Pet Network Humane Society has saved the lives of thousands of animals. In 2022, 700 animals were adopted to loving homes, but the road to “happily ever after” is more costly for some animals than for others. Veterinary care, transfer costs, retaining staff, and shelter upkeep are just a few of the expenses that go into saving lives. Thanks to the enduring legacy of Incline Village community member Geno Menchetti, Pet Network is able to bring hope and healing to animals from overcrowded shelters in desperate need.

Geno’s Legacy

A lifelong animal lover, and twenty-year supporter of Pet Network, Geno was rarely seen around town without his two German Shepherds.

Many Incline Village community members have had the privilege of knowing Geno, and how passionately he felt about animal welfare. His love for animals was only matched by his love of this community. Geno served on the Board of Directors at Pet Network and later as an emeritus board member, lending his time, legal expertise, and love to the animals, which has endured today.

It was his hope that Pet Network would continue to save lives and, with the community’s help, expand our capacity for critical care.

Through Geno’s Hope Fund, Pet Network is addressing urgent and chronic medical issues, giving animals the chance at a loving home they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten. Although Geno is no longer with us and is dearly missed, his generosity of spirit lives on in his gift to the animals.

Pet Network Humane Society focuses on growing partnerships with overcrowded shelters and local social service organizations, to make a greater impact on saving dogs and cats within our community and beyond. Thank you Incline Villagers, your support is an integral part of rescuing lives and growing families!

From the animals at Pet Network: we appreciate you for making an impact on each animal and person who have been saved by adoption!
