Meet our Founder
John is a Las Vegas native and lifelong animal lover. He created Nevada Animal Advocates in the Spring of 2025, while he was working with Assemblywoman Melissa Hardy (R) on getting Reba's Law passed and signed into law.
His rescue dog isn’t just a pet: she is family and absolute royalty, and she knows it. From throwing birthday parties complete with doggie cake and ice cream to sharing his bed (even when she takes up most of it). John’s devotion to her runs deep. His love for animals is personal, passionate, and at the heart of everything he and Nevada Animal Advocates stands for.
At Nevada Animal Advocates, our dedication to being a relentless voice for the voiceless will always be our driving force. Our mission is crystal clear; to drive meaningful legislative change and demand accountability for those who harm, neglect, or kill animals. We are not just a cause; we are a movement for justice. This dedication and mission paved the way for us to create and launch what our elected leaders have refused to do for years; create a statewide animal abuse registry. We feel deep in our hearts that our animals deserve the same protections that the public receives from sex offenders, so we created the registry in hopes to educate and inform the public about the monsters who live amoung us.
We campaign for stronger legal protections and harsher penalties against animal cruelty. Our team works tirelessly to bring awareness to the gaps in Nevada’s legal system and mobilize support for real reform. We recently championed Reba’s Law (AB381), a bill aimed at enhancing penalties for animal abuse, especially for acts as heinous as what happened to Reba, a bulldog whose tragic death galvanized our efforts.
