Las Vegas Wrinkle Rescue
Nevada Chapter of Operation K9 Rescue, Inc.
Animal Planet will be airing "Extreme Rescues" on April 3rd & 4th
(times will vary according to your time zone) The episode will show the HORRIFIC situation the Houston Bulldogs were saved from. These are the dogs that many of you help make it possible for LVWR to save!
You can also visit http://www.savehoustonsbulldogs.moonfruit.com to see how the dogs are doing now.
Thanks again to everyone that enabled us to save these wonderful dogs!
We are in DESPERATE need of foster homes!!!
We try to match our dogs to the best foster situation for both the dog and the family. We fully encourage our Foster Families to meet with their perspective pup to make sure all family members fell comfortable and confident.
some reasons to consider fostering:
Fostering gives a dog a second chance at life.
Fostering a dog is a wonderful, life-affirming project for the entire family (although singles and couples can foster, too, of course).
Fostering a dog costs virtually nothing.
(Rescue pays for Vet care and food.)
Fostering a dog is fun.
Fostering a dog is rewarding.
Fostering can be done anywhere--in a city or suburb, a house or apartment.
Fostering a dog can take place whenever you are ready.
Fostering a dog offers the company of canines to those unable to make a long-term commitment.
PLEASE contact us if you think you have the room in your heart and your home to foster one of our dogs.
Fostering may last only a few weeks, but the difference you'll make in that dogs life will last a LIFETIME!
Ideally, we want to have all of the available dogs in foster homes before they are adopted. Unfortunately, most are housed in a kennel environment because we don't have enough foster homes. Please open your home to a dog in need.
Rescue Me Please
Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well. I will respond to you.
Rescue me not out of pity but out of love. I will love you back.
Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion. I will learn what you teach.
Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future. I will relax and enjoy.
Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life. I will appreciate your gift.
Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience. I will please you.
Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become. I will grow and mature.
Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me. I will never let you down.
Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust. I will be loyal and true.
Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion. I will stand by your side.
Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to soothe your spirit. I will cherish you.
Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend. I will give you unconditional love.
Please Rescue Me!
Please remember: Animals are not disposable
DOG OF THE MONTH
NormaJean
We are not a shelter. Our dogs are shown by appointment only because most are housed at various foster homes or a private boarding facility. We DO NOT hold dogs for adopters, we DO NOT ship dogs. Please be sure that ALL members of the household want a pet BEFORE submitting your application, a dog is a 10+ year commitment that everyone in the family should be ready and willing to take on.Applications are handled in the order they are received. If you see a dog you are interested in, please contact us for an application, once it is complted please send it back to us for review. If there are any questions or concerns you may have with the dog your considering, voice them in your application. Once we receive and review your application, we will call or email you to let you know if we feel this may be a good match. At that time we will discuss what day and time you would like to meet with the dog your interested in.
Due to the nature of the breeds we deal with, we WILL NOT place any of our dogs into homes that already have dogs of the same sex.
We DO NOT ship dogs, but are willing to adopt dogs out of state if within driving distance. You must be willing to drive out to the location where the dog is housed to meet the dog before adopting. ALSO, If you are an owner seeking to surrender your dog, be aware that ALL dogs must be UTD on shots and altered BEFORE they will be accepted into rescue,there is also a fee to cover the care of the dog you are surrendering.
Please read our adoption policies before filling out an adoption application.
Minimum requirements for adopting are:
All applicants must be at least 21 years of age
Previous large breed ownership experience preferred
Participation in formal obedience training and socialization often required
Demonstrated responsible dog ownership, and primary care giver of a dog (INCLUDING Spay/Neuter of current family pets)
Dog must live INSIDE as a member of the adopter's family
If you rent, we require a letter from your landlord giving you permission to keep this breed of dog on the premises and there are no insurance problems.
If you do not meet these minimum requirements, please wait until your circumstances change before applying to adopt.
WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY DOGS AT THIS TIME
