“He’s such a character!”

Poppas is a 6-year-old pup who matches the vibe of whoever he’s with. He‘s happy on a leisurely walk or chasing his favorite toys around the yard. When it’s time to snuggle, his favorite place to lie is on your feet or lap. As long as he’s close to you, Poppas is happy.

During his time in foster homes, we’ve learned that he’s a smarty pants and walks well on a leash. During a visit to Nevada Brew Works, he was the best-behaved pup on their patio, lounging in the sun and making friends with everyone he met.

Email [email protected] to adopt 55 lbs Poppas. His ID # is A1210737.

“Valerie is such a sweet baby.”

Her fosters say she’s gentle, attentive, and always ready for a hug. 1-year-old Valerie is still learning to walk on a leash and getting more brave in the car every day. She was well-behaved on her recent foster field trips where she explored a park, rolled on every patch of grass she could find, and claimed her spot on the couch afterward.

“With a little bit of patience and some guidance, Valerie would make an excellent companion,” in any home. She listens well to correction and even knows to wait by the door when it’s time to go potty.

Interested in adopting Valerie? Email [email protected] to find a time to meet with her foster family. Her ID # is A1346925.

When Tayler saw Bentley’s sad face on our adoption page, she knew she had to adopt him! He ended up saving her life.

Tayler suffers from a rare seizure disorder, making everyday tasks difficult. From the first day she brought Bentley home, he naturally knew to alert her when he sensed a seizure coming. He has learned to alert Tayler up to 30 minutes before a seizure by pawing at her leg, and helping her get to a safe place.

“Bentley now goes everywhere with me and helps me through the day. He has become the best pet and service dog I could ever ask for. He truly saved my life,” says Tayler. He now spends his days hiking and adventuring with his mom. He even gets his paws wet with some competitive dog-diving! 🏊

Bentley’s story shows that dogs who end up in a shelter are just as smart, special, and deserving of a loving home as any other pup. Find your new best friend on our adoption search page: https://bit.ly/47F5IPo.

This Happy Tail and thousands more are made possible every year thanks to a lifesaving grant from Petco Love Thank you,

Our groomer, Krystal, has become well-known for her stunning transformations. She takes the most matted and dirty dogs in our shelter and transforms them into the best versions of themselves.

Her work was even featured in a recent article in The Dodo https://bit.ly/4fpvuu4

We set up a wishlist of her favorite grooming products: https://amzn.to/3Oa2GtC. Help her keep the lost and homeless animals of Las Vegas looking their best.

Baby Girl is absolutely fabulous – truly a soulmate type of dog.

Be ready for lots of kisses—Baby Girl loves showering people with slobbery smooches! She’s available for adoption or foster, and her ID # is A1330578.

And the prize for the shelter's BIGGEST smile goes to... Goat! 🐾

Details about Goat:
✅ Super trainable
✅ Attentive and eager to please
✅ Knows “sit” and walks well on a leash
✅ Takes treats gently
✅ Does well with other dogs during shelter playgroup

Goat is full of playful energy and loves head pats and snuggles. With continued training, he’ll be a rockstar.

Alegra is the ultimate velcro dog! She loves to be by your side.

This 5-year-old, 80 lb girl is currently thriving in her foster home.

With her two-tone eyes (yes, she has heterochromia 😍), Alegra is as unique as her personality.

She adores her people and thrives when she’s by their side.

This active girl is all about hiking, car rides and splashing in the water. She would love to go camping with you.

Alegra does well with other dogs and kids of all ages in her foster home (yes, even annoying children, haha). She’s patient and tolerant.

She’s very funny. Her single goal in life is to spend all of her time with her people, and she has a big personality that will keep you laughing.

She’s currently working on her leash skills, is extremely intelligent and thrives off positive reinforcement.

It’s easy to love Carter.

This happy-go-lucky goober is a staff and volunteer favorite. He gets along great with other pups during shelter playgroup. His mellow nature has everyone around the shelter smitten.

Carter recently spent time in a foster home.

“This dog is a great dog,” said his foster family. “He’s soft, well-behaved, and walks nicely on a leash.” He loves his giant squeaky ball and will even carry it around the neighborhood on walks. Isn’t that adorable? 😍

Come to The Animal Foundation to meet this 2-year-old, 73 lbs sweet potato today! Carter’s available for foster or adoption, and his adoption fee is waived. (ID # A1332706)

A big THANK YOU to these amazing kids at John R. Beatty Elementary School for hosting a donation drive for The Animal Foundation! 🐾

Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Michelle, and their students invited our veterinary team to give a presentation about what it's like to be a shelter vet and how we help lost and abandoned animals in Las Vegas. 🐶🐱

The kids were SO excited to give back to our shelter animals! 💕

Toby is very proud of his new degree! Say hello to one of our proud Bark to Basics Graduates.

Toby’s parents wanted to help him work on his manners, his reactivity towards people and dogs, as well as his leash skills. He’s your typical high energy pup who loves attention and knew a few commands before coming to his first class.

Throughout our 5-week class, Toby and his family worked with our certified dog trainers to polish his skills. Toby learned how to wait for permission before going through a door while on a leash. He got better at ignoring other people and dogs when he was out on a walk. Toby even learned how to sit, stay, lie down, and wait for treats.

Our next round of classes starts THIS FRIDAY, Nov. 15. You must reserve your spot at https://bit.ly/4gjRpn9 24 hours before your first scheduled class.

Each session includes 5 hours of in-class instruction with certified dog trainers, fun games to play with your pup, and resources to guide you through the training process at home. Plus, if your pup passes their test, you’ll have an adorable graduation photo like Toby’s to share with your friends and family! 😂

Classes are $150. You can receive a 20% discount if you adopted your dog from The Animal Foundation. Reserve your spot today before classes fill up!

Lost Pets Need Your Help! 🚨

78% of lost dogs we took in this year had NO collar, tag, or microchip. This makes it so much harder to reunite them with their families.

Protect your pet:
🐾 Keep a collar and tag on them at all times
🐾 Make sure your pet’s microchip info is up-to-date—we can’t get in touch with you if the info is wrong

Need a microchip? Schedule an appointment in our low-cost clinic here: https://bit.ly/2rYsgL2

If you find a lost dog or cat:
✅ Use Petco Love Lost to file a report (it uses facial recognition to reunite pets!).
✅ Post on social media and Nextdoor, walk the pet in the neighborhood, and talk to your neighbors.

Lost pets are more likely to make it home when they don’t come to the shelter. Last year, only about 30% of lost pets at the shelter were reunited with their families.

📣 Long stay dog alert. Arwen arrived at the shelter 𝟮𝟬𝟵 days ago!

We are baffled that this 6-year-old house hippo hasn't been scooped up yet! She has been in and out of foster homes since she came to us. In foster homes and at the shelter, this dog is a joy to be around. Arwen is as sweet as they come.

She gets along well with most dogs she meets during our shelter playgroup sessions and walks like a dream on a leash. You’ll never catch Arwen without a toy in her mouth, a wiggle in her wagging tail, or a little smile on her face.

Come to the shelter to meet her. You won’t regret it. Arwen’s adoption fee is waived. Her ID # is A1124515.

Have you recently adopted a dog? Give. Them. Time.

Our biggest piece of advice for new dog owners is what we call the “Rule of 3’s.” Dogs need time and space to adjust to their new home before they feel safe enough to show you their true personality.

💤 In the first 3 days after adopting, your dog will begin to decompress and relax. They are still learning the lay of the land and their new routine. Don’t expect them to be perfect right away.

😍 In the first 3 weeks, your pup will start to come out of their shell. They’ll let their guard down and start to really trust you.

🏡 In the first 3 months, your pup will realize that your home is their home. They’ll feel safe and secure enough to show you their true personality.

It might take some time, but don’t give up! They’re worth it.

During his foster field trip this weekend, we learned Huey is part mountain goat! 🐐

At 3-years-old, Huey loves a good adventure. He loves exploring and climbing to the top of every rock he can find. Huey listened well to his foster, even exploring off-leash and sprinting back to him when he was called.

After their hike, they went to Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar where Huey made friends with every person and dog who passed by. He scarfed a pup cup and gobbled up every stray ice cube that dropped to the ground. 🤣

“Huey is an amazing dog and anyone who adopts him will see how lucky they are to have him,” said his foster after their afternoon adventures.

Huey the mountain goat is available for foster or adoption. His adoption fee is waived. ID # A1335956.
