🌸 Rosita’s Day Out! 🌸

Rosita got to enjoy a fun day out of the shelter, and she made the most of every moment! 💕

She needed a little help getting into the car (those first steps can be tricky!), but once we hit the road, she was the perfect passenger — calm and curious about the world passing by. 🚗🐾

At the park, Rosita’s playful side came shining through! She had a blast rolling around and playing with her leash — such a goofball! 🤭 When it was time to walk, she was amazing on leash — no tugging, no barking, just an easygoing stroll even with other dogs nearby.

Of course, Rosita’s favorite part of the day was soaking up all the love — belly rubs, pets, and cuddles are definitely her love language. 💞

This sweet girl is ready to bring her playful heart and gentle spirit to a forever home of her own. 🏡🐶Come meet Rosita and fall in love today!

ADOPTED!!!
🐾 Tucker’s Day Out! 🐾

Tucker got to enjoy a much-deserved day out of the shelter — and what a sweetheart he is! 💙

He was a little shy about hopping into the car at first, but once he got going, he was calm and content on the ride to the park. Once there, he showed off his playful side — a few of his runs even turned into joyful hops across the field! 🐕✨

Tucker was a total gentleman on his leash, never barked at anyone, and soaked up all the pets and love he could get. When it was time to head back, he loaded up all on his own — such a good boy!

This gentle, happy pup would make a wonderful companion for someone who loves walks, playtime, and quiet snuggles. 💛

📍Come meet Tucker at Nevada Animal Shelter — he’s ready to hop right into his forever home! 🏡🐶

🐾 New Arrivals in Need! 🐾

Just today, our shelter has taken in 13 dogs and puppies that were abandoned in a home, along with other stray intakes. 💔 These sweet souls came to us scared, hungry, and in need of care — and we’re doing everything we can to give them a safe, warm place to land.

With so many new arrivals, our shelves are running low on puppy food, blankets, and basic supplies. If you can help, donations of any size make a huge difference!

🦴 Items we need most:
• Puppy food (dry & canned)
• Soft blankets & towels
• Cleaning supplies
• Medical items such as fungal shampoos & sprays.

Every donation helps us care for these innocent lives until they find their forever homes. 💕

📍 Donations can be dropped off at Nevada Animal Shelter
💻 Or give online by purchasing from our Amazon Wish List:

🎃🐾 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Pets! 🐾🎃

Halloween can be full of fun for us — but it can be frightening for our furry friends! Here are a few tips to help keep your pets safe and stress-free this spooky season:

👻 Keep candy out of reach. Chocolate and sugar-free treats (especially those with xylitol) are toxic to pets.

🎭 Costumes aren’t for every pet. If your pet seems uncomfortable or anxious, skip the costume or keep it simple.

🚪 Watch the door! Trick-or-treaters coming and going can be scary — and provide an easy escape route. Keep pets in a quiet, secure room during peak activity.

🕯️ Be mindful of decorations. Wires, candles, and small spooky items can be hazardous if chewed or knocked over.

🪪 ID is a must! Make sure your pet’s microchip and tags are up to date — just in case they slip out the door.

Let’s make this Halloween a treat for everyone — including our four-legged family members! 🧡🐶🐱
