🎉 ADOPTED: BOSCO! 🎉

From stray to star — Bosco’s story is one for the happy tails book! 🐾 This sweet boy came to us as a stray, and the moment his 5-day hold was up, his new family was ready and waiting to scoop him up and take him home. 🏡💙

A HUGE thank you to his new family for opening their hearts to this adorable pup, to our hardworking shelter staff who care for these animals every day, and to YOU — our amazing Facebook community — for helping us share, support, and celebrate every adoption.

While Bosco is off to start his new adventure, we still have several dogs here at the shelter looking for their forever homes. If you're ready to add a furry friend to your family, give us a call at 775-623-6403 to schedule an appointment or ask questions.

Let’s keep the happy endings coming! 🐶💫

Meet Buttercup! 🐶💛
Please call the shelter at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a time to meet her today!

Buttercup is a beautiful 1–2-year-old Shepherd mix with a big heart and even bigger energy! She came to us as a stray, so we’re still learning about her, but one thing is clear — this girl is full of love and life.

She’s a total sweetheart who thrives on attention and playtime. Buttercup gets along well with other dogs, though we’re not sure yet how she does with kids or cats. Since she came in as a stray, we’re assuming she’s not spayed or vaccinated yet.

If you’re an active family or individual looking for a fun, loyal companion, Buttercup might just be your perfect match!

Meet Bubbles! 🐾
Call the shelter at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a time to meet him today!

Bubbles is a lovable 2–3-year-old Rottweiler mix with a heart as big as his smile. He came to us as a stray, and while we don't know much about his past, he's quickly won us over with his gentle nature and well-mannered personality.

Bubbles gets along great with other dogs and absolutely loves toys — he's always up for playtime! He’s not neutered and likely not vaccinated yet, but he’s ready to find a forever family who will help him get the care he needs.

We’re not sure how he does with cats or kids, but with the right introductions, we think he has lots of potential to be an amazing companion.

If you're looking for a sweet, loyal pup to join your pack, Bubbles could be the one for you!

Meet Leah! ❄️🐾
📞 Call the shelter at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a time to meet her today!

Leah is a 2-year-old spayed Husky with a sweet spirit and playful energy. She’s great with children and loves being around people, making her a wonderful companion for an active home.

Leah gets along well with all dogs, so she could be a great addition to a multi-dog household. No cats please .
Like many Huskies, she’s clever and adventurous—a secure yard is a must to keep her safe and happy during outdoor playtime.

Please note:
🐾 Leah is spayed
🐾 She is currently not vaccinated

Leah is ready to find her forever home where she can thrive and be loved. If you're looking for a friendly, social, and loyal pup, Leah might be the one for you!

Meet Bear! 🐾
📞 Call the shelter at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a time to meet him today!

Bear is a 3-year-old male Terrier/Shih Tzu mix looking for a loving forever home. He's a sweet, social guy who loves being around people and is good with children. A secure yard or supervision outdoors will be important for him. Bear can also be somewhat food agressive with other dogs so separate feedings are suggested.

Please note:
🐾 Bear is intact (not neutered)
🐾 He is not vaccinated at this time
🐾 He can be a little picky with other dogs, so a meet-and-greet is recommended if you have pets
No cats please.

Bear would thrive with a family that can give him the attention, structure, and care he needs. If you're ready to give Bear the second chance he deserves, don’t wait—call (765) 623-6403 to set up a meet-and-greet today! 🐶💕

🌟 Spotlight on Kita! 🌟
🏠 Long-Term Resident | Needs a Home ASAP 🏠
🎉 Neuter Now Sponsored – He’s Ready to Go! 🎉

Meet Kita, a striking 5-year-old Malamute mix with a heart as big as his voice! Weighing in at 40–50 lbs, this sweet and spirited boy has been patiently waiting for his forever home — and he’s more than ready to find it.

Kita is talkative, affectionate, and full of personality. He knows a few basic manners and would thrive in a home that can offer both structure and lots of love. He’d make a loyal companion for someone familiar with the breed or active dogs.

🐾 Best Fit:

No livestock, chickens, or cats
Secure fenced yard or committed supervised outdoor time
A home ready to give him the attention he craves
Kita has been a long-time resident, and his neuter is now fully sponsored – all he needs now is you! 💙

🤩 Kita is available for adoption now – let’s get him home! 🤩

🚐✨ Rescue Ride to New Beginnings ✨🚐

This week, three very special pups left our shelter behind and headed toward brighter tomorrows—and we couldn’t be more grateful or more relieved.

First up is Stella—a beautiful girl whose story started with a little deception. Her owner surrendered her under false pretenses, claiming she was a stray. But our Animal Control Officers did what they do best: they followed the facts and uncovered the truth. Despite her rocky start, Stella spent over a month with us, waiting patiently while her future hung in the balance. We’re thrilled to share that A Path 4 Paws, in Las Vegas, opened their hearts and their doors, rescuing Stella just in time and giving her the fresh start she deserves.

Traveling alongside her to Vegas is Summer, a quiet sweetheart who arrived as a stray earlier this month. Shy but gentle, Summer’s soft soul didn’t go unnoticed. She’s now with our friends at A Path 4 Paws, who we know will help her blossom into the confident dog she’s meant to be.

And from Elko, Endless Pawsabilities came through for Sorrell, a handsome stray who had been with us since last month. He’s now headed off to the next chapter of his journey, thanks to their commitment and compassion.

We owe a huge thank you to our rescue partners—A Path 4 Paws and Endless Pawsabilities—for showing up, again and again, when our dogs need them most. And to our incredible networker and transport coordinator, Karen Rodoni—your dedication moves mountains and saves lives. We can't forget, Dave with Endless Paws, who transported these three safely to their destination.

Thank you to our staff for the care, compassion, and hustle behind the scenes. And to you—our Facebook followers—your shares, support, and encouragement matter more than you know.

There are still dogs waiting here, hoping their moment will come too. If you’re ready to open your home, give us a call at (775) 623-6403 to schedule a meet-and-greet. 🐾

Let’s keep these good stories going. 💛

📣 **Grizz Has Been Adopted!** 🐾

This handsome guy, Grizz, was surrendered to our shelter back in May when his family had to relocate and sadly couldn’t take him along. Through it all, Grizz remained the same sweet, loving boy we all came to adore.

After a long stay with us, we had rescue lined up for him—but sometimes fate has other plans! Just as things were coming together, a community member came to meet him... and it turned out to be the perfect match. Grizz now has a brand-new family to call his own, and we couldn’t be happier for him!

A huge THANK YOU to his new family for giving him a second chance, to our hardworking staff for their continued dedication, and to all our Facebook friends who support, share, and encourage every step of the way. 💙

We still have several amazing dogs waiting for their forever homes. To meet them, just give us a call at 📞 **623-6403** to make an appointment. Let’s keep the happy endings coming!
