🩷 Indy 🩷

Indy is a beautiful female Cane Corso, just over 1 year old, and weighing around 100 pounds. She has been in the same loving home since she was born and has been very well cared for. For over 6 months, Indy has been patiently searching for the perfect forever home after her current family realized they no longer have the space needed for another large dog.

Indy is sweet, playful, calm, and delightfully goofy. She truly enjoys attention from her people and has done great in a home with older children. She has also had positive experiences meeting new adults. Indy spends much of her day outside in a fenced area but does well indoors too. She is crate trained at night, fully potty trained, and continues to make progress with leash walking.

Indy is not suited for a home with cats or small dogs, as she may chase them if given the opportunity. She would likely do best as the only dog or in a home without other large female dogs. With the right match, Indy will be a loyal, loving, and devoted companion.

Indy is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. If you think Indy might be the one you’ve been waiting for, please visit our website to submit an application.

🩵 Meet Ruby! 🩵

Ruby is a stunning Golden Retriever / Husky mix. We're sure you noticed her striking blue eyes, right away. Born in May 2025, roughly 50lbs, this happy girl is crate trained and currently working on her leash skills. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and brings tons of fun, goofy energy wherever she goes.

Ruby is very playful and energetic, and in her excitement she may accidentally knock over smaller children — something that can easily be improved with continued training and structure. This is all very typical for active, high-energy breeds. She will need a home with a fully fenced yard, where she can safely burn off energy and enjoy her favorite activity: playing fetch!

This fun-loving goofball is living her best life and would be an excellent match for an active person or family ready to include her in adventures and daily playtime. Ruby is ready to soak up all the love and attention her forever home has to offer.

If you’re interested in adopting Ruby, please visit our website to apply. Please do not call to express interest or show up to meet her — she is not onsite. Submitting an application is the first step in our adoption process. Not looking to adopt? A share of her pretty face helps just as much!

This adorable litter is a mix of many breeds — which truly means the best of everything rolled into one! These puppies are intelligent, friendly, sweet, playful, and unbelievably lovable. Every one of their foster families has shared the same feedback: they’ve been absolutely wonderful. They’re quick learners, easy to care for, and have been a breeze in foster homes.

All of the pups are doing great with both house and crate training. The males tend to be a bit more laid back than their sister, but none of them are overly energetic. They love other dogs, enjoy meeting people, and would easily integrate into a home with a cat. We expect them to grow into the 40–60lb range, making them a great medium-sized companion.

Each puppy is listed individually on our PetFinder. Before adoptions are finalized, they will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. These pups are incredibly adaptable and will thrive in the lifestyle they grow up with — now is the perfect time to add a puppy to your routine and grow together.

Interested in adopting? Visit our website to submit an application. Please do not call or show up to meet them — submitting an application is the first step in our adoption process. Not looking to adopt right now? Sharing their cute faces helps more than you know!

💙 Meet Rudy! 💙

Rudy is a 3–4 month old male Pyrador (Great Pyrenees & Labrador Retriever) weighing around 20 pounds. This sweet boy is a little more shy than his sister Noel, but confidence often blossoms when siblings are separated. Rudy is incredibly gentle, loves people, and would be wonderful with small children. He does well with other dogs and, while he hasn’t been tested with cats yet, he will likely do just fine. With his calm, loving nature, Rudy is sure to make a loyal and devoted companion.

Before adoption, Rudy will be neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. He is currently in a foster home, so please do not call or show up to meet him. The first step in our adoption process is submitting an application on our website.

🐾 Meet Clarence! 🐾

Clarence is a 3–4 month old male Pyrador (Great Pyrenees & Labrador Retriever). He is clearly channeling his Great Pyrenees roots — both in looks and personality. This handsome pup is outgoing, friendly, and enjoys meeting people and other dogs. He has already shown an interest in roaming, so a fully fenced yard will be a must for Clarence to safely enjoy exploring the outdoors.

Like a true Pyrenees, Clarence loves being outside, especially in the cooler weather. He is confident and social, but he does prefer not to share his food or treats with other dogs. With the right environment and guidance, Clarence will make a wonderful companion for a loving, attentive home.

Before adoption, Clarence will be neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. He is currently in a foster home, so please do not call or show up to meet him. The first step in our adoption process is submitting an application on our website.

💜 Meet Noel! 💜

Noel is a 3-4 month-old Pyrador (Great Pyrenees & Labrador Retriever) who is stealing hearts everywhere she goes. Weighing around 20 pounds, this confident little lady is doing wonderfully in a crate and is almost fully house trained. Noel loves to tag along on any task — she’s truly a little shadow — and when the day is done, she’s all about cuddles. She does great with other dogs and children and has a sweet, loving personality that makes her a joy to have around.

Before adoption, Noel will be spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. She is currently in a foster home, so please do not call or show up to meet her. The first step in our adoption process is submitting an application on our website.

2025 was a whirlwind year! We had a goal of 1-2 clinics a month and that was exceeded as well. We hope 2026 is good to us. 💙

🌙 Luna Lovegood🌙

This stunning Siamese sweetheart is 2 years old and truly the total package. Luna is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and perfectly litter trained. She’s incredibly friendly, social, and loving — the kind of cat who fits right in no matter what’s going on around her. Ruckus? Commotion? No problem for Luna! She gets along great with other cats and dogs and takes everything in stride.

Her only “requirements”? A good scratching post, a warm cozy bed, and a family ready to adore her as much as she’ll adore them. We honestly have nothing bad to say about this girl. 💕

If Luna sounds like your perfect match, visit our website to apply! 🐾

🐾 Meet Sam 🐾

Sam is a 1-year-old Standard Poodle weighing 56lbs, and he’s ready to find a loving, stable forever home. This sweet boy has been through a lot of changes in a short amount of time, so he may need a few minutes to warm up when meeting new people — but once he does, his gentle and friendly personality truly shines.

Sam is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He is both crate trained and house trained, and is described as calm and settled in the home, making him a wonderful companion for everyday life.

He does well with kids and other dogs. He has only been around cats while they were in carriers and showed no interest. Sam would do best in a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can safely enjoy outdoor time. He’d also love a family who enjoys having their dog close by — Sam wants to be with his people as much as possible and will make a loyal, devoted companion.

If you think Sam could be the perfect fit for your home, please visit our website to apply. Submitting an application is the first step in our adoption process

Educational Post
This is the result of a successful spay and neuter program after 5 years. An empty cat room- and this happens regularly.

We are NOT “limiting admission” or putting people on a wait list. We are taking in every animal that comes into our shelter as long as it is from a Clark County resident- that is what shelters are supposed to do. We are not altering data by diverting intakes or turning animals away. We are working hard to build programs that work to save animals and serve the community.

How is this possible without controlling intake?

1. Free and extremely low cost spay and neuter services that are readily available to everyone in our city and county. This includes owned animals and community cats or feral cats. Not a wait list, not a couple clinics a year. In the beginning we were booked out months at a time, now we can almost always get someone scheduled within 3 weeks or sooner. Progress. This is funded by grants and fundraising not the general shelter budget. The City of Wi******er, which is not our governing body, is gracious enough to provide funding towards this program (has ranged from $5-$17,000 over 6 years) and is to be used specifically for cats.

2. Safety net resources. A food bank, supplies and other resources that can help an owner that is temporarily struggling. We do not currently have assistance for owner vet bills but we regularly write grants and are trying to get that going too. Funded through donations.

3. A barn cat program. If a shelter doesn’t accept feral cats, those cats keep reproducing, become unhealthy due to inbreeding and lack or resources in the area and have poor quality of life and poor outcomes should they come to the shelter later. We have a list of people wanting barn cats so when a feral comes in, it is fully vetted and transferred to a new location where it is wanted within the week.

4. Rescue partners. In general, rescues love to work with a good shelter. A shelter they know is doing their best for the animals and giving honest evaluations on both health and behavior. We are very fortunate to work with some wonderful rescue partners with great adoption facilities to move a large number of our animals.

Animal shelters by design are reactive to the animal problem. But if we can see the bigger picture and create proactive policies that prevent more animals from needing to come to the shelter in the first place we can make a difference in the long run.

*There will likely be some comments asking why we don’t help other shelters when we have space. We are funded by tax dollars from Clark County so we are only able to accept animals from Clark County. We do offer to help by sharing resources, networking etc. We want all shelters to be successful!

**Update- due to the attention this post has gotten and the way Facebook sorts the comments we realize we are missing a lot of comments and questions. If you have questions please email us directly at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to get back with you!
