I've been fostering her for 2 1/2 months, and she has come a long way but she really needs a friend. She's potty-trained, leash-trained, and takes a bit to warm up to people but once she does she is so snuggly and will follow you everywhere. She loves other dogs and animals too.

This precious pup loves to be outside, whether that's walking or playing with other dogs at the dog park! She's a little nervous/shy about meeting new people, but once she warms up to you she's a little bundle of love! One of the main recommendations we can request for Myla is that she has another pup she can play with and/or a yard where she can burn out her zoomies appropriately. If you'd like more information, please text me at 702 528 8073.

Sweet and eager to please, Jethro is a gem of a dog. Having spent so much time in a shelter, he of course needs to learn the rules of the house, but is very receptive to correction (and treats!). During play, he is alert and observant of others boundaries. He has an excellent off switch; moving from play to down time inside is not an issue for this guy.Don't let his size fool you; he is a giant baby who wants nothing more than to cuddle in your lap. He is wary of cats (a kitten once hissed at him and he cowered into my arms) but young enough to learn that they are house mates. With time and training, he will be the perfect family pet.Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00.

Nacho was origionally rescued from a bad hoarding situation along with several others and had NO socialization (they lived like wild animals). Nacho was one of the lucky ones who was adopted into a great home butt sadly his owner became unable to care for him & we were asked to take him. Nacho has anxiety issues in new situations that he is unfamiliar with. When it becomes an every day thing, he is more comfortable with it. He pees just about every time he gets excited about anything. New people, being scolded, a new venue, greeting us when we come home, even waiting for me to fix his food! He does not like getting his feet wet or cold and does not like being rained on.

Meet Spencer! Spencer came from our partner shelter. He has been in foster now for a month and is the sweetest boy ever. He loves people and loves pets! He loves walking on a leash and he does get really excited to meet other dogs. He has been neutered and is vaccinated. He did have a dental done. He has sick sinus syndrome which requires cardiology follow ups and special care during any surgeries or procedures with anesthesia.

Itzel is a little spitfire that enjoys life in true Weinerschnitzel fashion. She loves to play with other dogs, go on car rides and make new friends. Itzel is mostly housetrained and will use a pee pad if you miss her signals. She is insistant on sleeping under the covers in your bed. If you have ever had a dachshund, you know that burrowing under the covers is a must. She is a busy body and loves to be underfoot so as not to miss out on anything going on. Itzel has only been in her foster home for a week but she is learning the routine and finding her voice. She is very excitable and vocal when she plays with the other dogs and will tell you how excited she is when it's time to go for a car ride but overall I would not say that she is too yappy.Itzel is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and started on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.
