Vegas Shepherd Rescue

12/06/2023

As with many animal rescues in today’s environment, Vegas Shepherd Rescue has not been able to accommodate all the rehoming applications for German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds, and Belgian Malinois dog breeds. Unfortunately, the nonprofit is closing its doors after 11 years of finding new homes for these working breed dogs. However, through a new partnership with Nevada SPCA Life-Saving Shelter, these working breeds will continue to be saved!

Working dog breeds such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Rottweilers often require additional effort to find new homes due to their energy level and inherent desire to perform tasks, unlike companion dogs. Now, Vegas Shepherd Rescue’s work can live on through this new partnership and the support of certified trainers and Vegas Valley Schutzhund Club. They will work with these harder-to-place dogs at Nevada SPCA and offer additional resources, guidance, and education to potential adopters to ensure the right fit.

“While I’m sad to end more than a decade of working with our own rescue, I am excited and grateful to continue the VSR legacy through our new partnership with Nevada SPCA”, said Julie Pyle, co-founder of Vegas Shepherd Rescue.

“So many working breed dogs are turned into our shelter weekly because their owners were not prepared for the level of activity of those breeds, and we are looking forward to the new support from Vegas Shepherd Rescue to help these beautiful dogs find the right homes sooner,” said Lori Heeren, Nevada SPCA Executive Director.

Visit https://nevadaspca.org/ to view available pets. Nevada SPCA is located at 5375 S. Procyon St. Suite 108. Shelter hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Closed on Sunday.

The most beautiful Angel got her wings.

Lisa adopted from us a few years back and decided to stick around and volunteer her time. Lisa would work a full time job and come by multiple nights a week after work to clean and play with the dogs and bring them goodies. She was a favorite of the dogs and every human who came across her.

Lisa had a light in her that never dimmed. She made you smile just by being around her and feel better if you were having any kind of bad day. Her heart was as big as the ocean and she spent her life doing for others.

When she was diagnosed with cancer and in treatment she had to stop coming to volunteer but still made time to collect donations from friends and family and coworkers and bring them by for the dogs.

The world is a little darker place for the loss of her. We are devastated and our hearts are with her family. She will be deeply missed. 😭

Every dog has thier day…. Occasionally the journey there just takes a little longer for some.

Remi was a huge favorite of our staff and loved endlessly but unfortunately spent quite a long time with us due to his combative personality when it came to other dogs and his intense energy. Despite being a heckin good boy with great obedience skills, he got passed over time and time again.

Flash forward to a moment in time that came together just right. His new parents were lonely after losing their pup recently and missing the pitter patter of feet around the house. Being an only dog home, his not wanting to share didn’t matter to them at all. When they met Remi it was truly love at first sight for all involved and that was that.

They had the perfect solution to his energetic self… a pool! Swimming happens to be his favorite thing ever even in the dead of winter. At home he’s getting his exercise in playing tuggy and fetch with dad and enjoying cuddles on the couch and all the fun and love he can stand.

These moments are everything to us in rescue. When the harder to place pups finally get a home, if fills us with hope again and motivates us to keep going, to keep saving, and to keep making all the difference we can.

We hope your tail wags happily ever after Remi. We are so proud of you and so grateful to have been a part of your journey. ❤️🐾

2 year old Captain is still looking for his forever family.

This sweet boy is potty trained and does excellent in a home. He has great house manners and loves to be near his humans and be a part of whatever you’re doing. Netflix and chill? Heck yeah. Hikes through Redrock or the mountains? Heck yeah. He’s up for all of that and more, and he loves playing in the water too.

He’s got a great balanced energy and open nature. He rarely meets a human who isn’t his new best friend. He’s easily controlled on a leash and has basic obedience skills. This smart boy will pick up whatever you teach him easily. His goofy personality will keep you laughing at his silly antics.

Apply today to foster or adopt Captain and bring some giggles and joy and a super good boy to your life.

We are excited to once again participate in the to honor her life and love of animals on what would've been her 101st birthday, January 17th.

She loved large animals. “She was comfortable being close to them and they understood that, and they felt it, and then they were comfortable with her and very gentle, as she was with them,” said Tom Jacobson, president of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association.

Please show your appreciation for her and become a champion for animals by making a tax-deductible donation to help our pups today.

Adorable little smiling Pauli was adopted recently and is loving life.

With a big sister to keep things fun and exciting and to learn from, and parents who adore this fiesty little nugget of joy…. It was all our Christmas dreams come true!

Pauli showed up one day to a business with a collar and harness that were so tight they had rubbed off the fur. All attempts were made to find family but no one came forward. We are so grateful to have been able to find Pauli the best happily ever after. ❤️🐾

May your life be full of playtime and love and all good things little one.
