🐾 A Home for Lukey 🐾
In a kennel he waits with a wag and a grin,
A good boy named Lukey—won’t you let him in?
Four years of heart wrapped in Shepherd disguise,
With love in his soul and hope in his eyes.
He’s gentle and kind, with a playful spark,
Ready for walks or a run in the park.
He plays well with pups and is sweet with your crew,
He’ll wag his whole body just to be near you.
Vaccines? He’s set. And neutered, too.
A loyal best friend just waiting for you.
He’s patient, he’s brave, and he’s never let go—
Still dreaming each day of a place to call home.
So open your heart, take a chance, come see—
The joy you’ve been missing might just be Lukey.
Call (775) 623-6403 today,
And give this good boy his forever to stay. 🐶❤️
Lukeys adoption is sponsored !!

Meet Eve 🖤
Eve is a gentle soul looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and blossom at her own pace. This sweet 1–2 year old McNab/Border Collie mix is quiet and shy, but kind-hearted. She weighs about 15–20 lbs and came to us as a stray, so her past is a mystery — but she’s ready to start a new chapter with someone patient and kind.
Eve does well with people, though she’s still learning to trust and will need a bit of time to come out of her shell. Her comfort with kids and cats is unknown. She is not yet spayed or vaccinated.
If you think you could be the one to show Eve how good life can be, we’d love for you to meet her.
📞 Please call the shelter at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a time to meet her today!

Meet Remy! 🐾
Looking for a sweet, playful pup to add to your family? Remy might be the one! This adorable 4-month-old Australian Shepherd mix came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past — but his future is looking bright!
Remy is currently about 20–25 lbs and still growing. He’s a social little guy who loves people and seems to get along well with other dogs. As a young pup, he’ll need some basic training, but with his friendly personality, he’s sure to pick things up quickly.
Don’t miss the chance to meet this lovable boy!

CALLING ALL FACEBOOK , LETS GET WRIGLEY A NEW FAMILY!! SHARE, TAG, SHARE, TAG, SHARE. GO!
🐾 Meet Wrigley: Our Lovable Jerk 🐾

Wrigley isn’t for the faint of heart. He’s 1.5 years old, Pointer/Coonhound-ish (this is a total guess), and was adopted from us as a puppy. Sadly, his family’s new landlord said it was “Wrigley or the house,” so here he is again. (Bad landlord. No biscuit.)

Here’s the thing about Wrigley:
✨ Gorgeous? Absolutely.
✨ Loves kids, dogs, cats, strangers? 100%.
✨ House-trained and knows his commands? Nailed it.
✨ Affectionate goofball? You bet.

Now the flip side…
⚡ He’s hyper and bouncy — small kids don’t stand a chance.
⚡ Pulls like a freight train on leash.
⚡ Can leap a 6–8 ft fence like it’s child’s play.
⚡ Hates being left alone (bark, bark, bark).
⚡ Separation anxiety is his middle name.

Wrigley needs a family who *gets him* — active people who don’t mind adventures outside the yard, older kids (13+), maybe a dog sibling to play with, and most importantly, folks who can help him through his “I hate being alone” phase.

He’s not perfect. He’s loud, wild, and a bit dramatic. But he’s also loyal, funny, loving, and worth every ounce of effort.

💌 If you’ve got the time, patience, and sense of humor for Wrigley, give us a call at (775) 623-6403.

Because every lovable jerk deserves their person.
