For decades, The Animal Foundation has celebrated the Shelter Pet of the Year: the animal who, for better or for worse, captured hearts and made the biggest impact on our shelter and community over the past 12 months. Some years, the decision is a tough one. In 2024, it wasn’t. Mocha Diamond stole the show.

Tap https://bit.ly/3ZU8exR to see why Mocha Diamond was chosen as the 2024 Shelter Pet of the Year.

🐾 Sometimes, shelter dogs are sad or stressed in their kennels, but that’s not their true personality.

Once they’re outside, they can finally just be a dog—playful, loving, and full of potential.

Take 2-year-old Dewey. This boy has two sides:

🏠 In his kennel: stressed, anxious, and vocal.
🌟 Outside of his kennel: a sweet boy who thrives with structure and play!

On a recent foster field trip, Dewey was:
✔️ Quick to learn commands like "gentle" during play
✔️ Calm, confident, and anxiety-free in new environments

Dewey is available for foster or adoption. His ID # is A1342653

Pucker is a confident, silly boy–and for good reason!

He’s a handsome gent, and every time he’s out on a walk, there’s a chorus of oohs and aahs that follow him. All while walking nicely on a leash, soaking in every word of praise.

He’s in our shelter training classes, and he’s picking up the basics fast. At 2-years-old he’s intelligent and eager to learn. He likes to play with gentle dogs during playgroup at the shelter but can ramp up to more rambunctious levels of play.

Come meet this affectionate pup today. Pucker is available for foster or adoption, and his adoption fee is waived thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation Holiday Hope adoption event. His ID # is A1340226.

The Animal Foundation’s Low-Cost Clinic is now offering the Leptospirosis vaccine for dogs!

Lepto is a serious bacterial infection that spreads from wild and domestic animals through water, soil, and other contaminated objects. If your dog loves being outdoors splashing in puddles, sniffing around parks, and exploring hiking trails, this vaccine could be a lifesaver.

Leptospirosis can affect a dog’s kidneys and liver—and even be passed to humans.

Are you staying in town this holiday season? Why not make it extra special by giving a dog from The Animal Foundation a short-term break from the shelter? ♥️💚

Foster for the holidays is the perfect opportunity to:
✔️ Try fostering for the first time
✔️Give a deserving shelter dog a comfy couch to lounge on
✔️ Enjoy the holiday with a cuddly friend
✔️ Help us learn more about each dog’s personality—and get some great photos of them!

👉 How it works: Swing by our foster window in the adoptions lobby December 12–24, between 11 AM and 6 PM, to pick up a foster dog

Uh-oh. Our self-proclaimed IT manager, Fat Momma, got curious, hit a button and now our adoption search page is down.

We know this is frustrating, but we've got a workaround for you!

Visit our Lost and Found page instead, and if an animal's intake type is listed as "Available", that means they are available for adoption: https://bit.ly/2VnOHoL

We’re working to fix the issue and appreciate your patience. In the meantime, if anyone knows a dog-proof keyboard, let us know. 🙃

Yankee is the definition of demure and mindful. ❤️

This 3-year-old boy is so easygoing and gentle, we’ve fallen head over heels for him. He’s been with us since the beginning of August, waiting for a family to scoop him up.

Yankee loves to go on laid-back walks, sniffing around and exploring, nose first. On our weekly park walks, he’s always stopping to smell the flowers. During playgroup at the shelter, he likes to play with other mellow dogs like a true gentleman.

Once you meet Yankee, you won’t want to say goodbye, and neither will he. His adoption fee is waived. ID # A1332462

Atlas is the king of chill! 👑

This 10-year-old, 37 lb dude loves snoozing on the couch, lounging in the sun, and napping in bed. But don’t be fooled—he gets the zoomies, too!

🐶 Loves to play with balls and toys
👍 Knows "drop it" and "leave it"
🚪 Potty trained and doggy door pro
🐾 Calm with his foster's senior pups
🦮 Great on a leash

Why we love Atlas:
✔️ He’ll "aarrooo" his way into your heart, especially at mealtime
✔️ He’s a foodie (loves breakfast, dinner, AND treats!)

Direct quote from his foster: "Trying not to fall in love with this amazing boy... but it’s so hard!" 😅

Interested in adopting Atlas? Email [email protected] to schedule a meet-and-greet.

As the weather starts to cool down and we head into the holiday season, it’s usually slower for intakes, but over the past month, The Animal Foundation took in an average of 68 animals a day! 😔

We need YOUR help to make sure like the ones pictured (all brought to us as lost pets in the last few days!) find their way home for the holidays.

Here’s how you can help keep your pets safe:
🐾 Always keep a collar & tag on them—it’s the #1 way to reunite lost pets!
🐾Get them microchipped. Our low-cost clinic offers chips for just $35. Keep the chip updated with your correct contact information.
🐾 Be careful with open doors & gates during holiday gatherings—they’re the top reason pets go missing.

🐶 If you lose or find a pet:
1️⃣ Register them on Petco Love Lost.
2️⃣ Check your neighborhood & post on social media & Nextdoor
3️⃣ Call our Pet Support Hotline at 702-955-5932 for assistance.

Good news: We can help with reclaim fees because we want pets back with their families whenever possible! 🐕🐈

Visit us 11 AM–7 PM, Tuesday through Sunday at The Animal Foundation at 655 N Mojave Rd.

We all know that dog owner who spoils their pup with every treat and toy imaginable…but skips the manners part! 😂

We’re here to help them (and their pup) with our Bark to Basics Gift Certificate! This holiday season, give the gift of doggie obedience with our 5-week training course, led by certified dog trainers.

We offer a safe, supportive, and judgment-free zone for dogs and their owners to learn basic obedience skills and build a stronger bond.

Head to https://bit.ly/4gjRpn9 to learn more about our training program and buy your gift certificate today! Our next session starts the first week of January.

Adopting a shelter dog is exciting, but remember—your new pet might need some time to adjust! The "Rule of 3s" can help guide you through the first few months, (and maybe longer!) so you know what to expect as your dog settles into their new home.

9-month-old Daisy has lots of puppy energy! 😍

She’s the life of the party, always ready to play and roughhouse with the other dogs in her foster home. She’s even good with cats in the home!

She’s still perfecting her manners (trash cans and slippers are her current favorites), but her crate training is going great, she’s learning potty skills, and she’s already mastered the dog door!

Here’s what we've learned about her:
✔️ She’s a cuddle bug
✔️Loves being by your side.
✔️ Great at sharing toys

When shelter dogs head to foster homes, their true personalities shine! 🐾 We learn what they love, what makes them quirky, and the right kind of home for them to thrive.

These 6️⃣ amazing pups are in foster homes now, but they’re dreaming of their forever homes this holiday season.

𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟎𝟓𝟕𝟖: Baby Girl is fabulous - truly a soulmate type of dog. This sweet 7-year-old, 54 lb girl loves to splash in the water, and is a well-behaved pup, walking nicely on a leash and always ready for an adventure. She shows her excitement when she gets the zoomies. Baby Girl loves showering people with slobbery affection!

𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐥𝐚 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟐𝟑𝟗𝟑: Moosla has the best “take me home” eyes! Everyone who meets her instantly falls in love, especially when she comes up to you for attention. She adores being petted and will give you kisses! She walks well on a leash and is a good listener when treats are involved. She has already mastered sit and stay.

𝐑𝐞𝐳𝐳𝐲 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟒𝟒𝟓𝟐𝟑: Rezzy is looking for true love! This 2-year-old, 38 lb stunner is playful and loves to cuddle. She captures the hearts of everyone she meets! She loves walks, runs, and exploring. She’s a great listener and has so much love to give her future forever family.

𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟐𝟕𝟗𝟕𝟗: This shy 3-year-old, 48 lb boy may be timid when you first meet him, but after a few hours, he shows off his gentle, loyal personality. His idea of a perfect day? Slow walks with plenty of sniff stops, chicken treats, and lounging in the sunshine.

𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟏𝟑𝟖𝟒𝟔: Apollo is a playful, goofy boy looking for his forever family. This active 1.5-year-old, 74 lb pup has a rough and rowdy play style and is great with other dogs in his foster home. He is crate trained, knows how to use a doggy door, and is a quick learner.

𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝟏𝟑𝟑𝟗𝟏𝟎𝟒: Candy Apple is a 4-year-old, 56 lb girl who loves belly rubs. She walks great on a leash and enjoys walks and hikes. She doesn’t jump up on the furniture or people unless allowed. Candy is housebroken and knows sit, lay down, come, and shake.

Franco is one of the smartest dogs we have had the pleasure of knowing 🎓

He was the first graduate of our Good Girls and Boys Training Program, and he still knows his stuff! He’s treat-motivated and aims to please. Franco stretched his big ol’ legs on a recent foster field trip and showed off his skills.

Franco enjoys riding in the car, and when he went shopping at REI, there was a chorus of “oohs” and “ahhs” as he sauntered up to meet everyone. An employee even commented that his size made her hesitant from a distance, but she was amazed at how gentle and well-behaved he was. 😍

During playgroup at the shelter, he’s starting to come out of his shell with other dogs. He loves to run and play.

Franco is the dog for anyone who can open their home to a 77 lbs, 3-year-old hunk of canine perfection. His adoption fee is waived. ID # A1281195
