Meet the Heart
Behind the Mission
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.
John recently launched a state-wide animal abuse registry since Nevada state leaders refuse to do so! It is his hopes that by providing this registry to the public, they will become more aware of the monsters that live among us; continuing to harm our fur babies.
John founded Nevada Animal Advocates, a non-profit animal rights organization based in Las Vegas in the spring of 2025. Our dedication to being a relentless voice for the voiceless be our driving force. In a state that ranks 31st in the nation for animal protection laws, 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.
At Nevada Animal Advocates, 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.
If you’re ready to join a community that refuses to stay silent, we welcome your support. Whether you’re a fellow advocate, a volunteer, or someone simply fed up with the status quo, let’s make our voices heard—together.
