My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ever dreamt of having your very own friendly ogre? Well, Shrek's no swamp-dwelling fairy tale character, but he sure is a lovable, big-hearted dog searching for his forever home! This larger-than-life guy has a personality as big as his namesake, with a penchant for bones and a love for car rides. At first, our gentle giant can be a tad wary of strangers - perhaps he's just waiting for his own fairy tale adventure to begin. As he's shown in the shelter, daily confidence-building exercises have led him to gradually warm up, allowing his true affable nature to shine through.

Chew-tastic Shrek's previous stint with furniture re-design was perhaps a sign of his artsy spirit! But a consistent schedule, training, and plenty of stimulating toys will keep this creative genius focused on less destructive projects. His journey to full confidence may require a touch of patience and understanding, but with the right family, his trust will blossom. Due to his size and enthusiasm, he's best suited for a home with adults who can appreciate his unique flair and are willing to nurture his growing trust in the world. Looking to embark on a transformative journey with a new companion? Shrek might just be your 'happily ever after'!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each adoption consists of an interview, application, counseling session, and adoption contract. All adoptions are handled on a case-by-case basis, but most adoptions are first-come, first-served, and holds cannot be placed in advance for someone to meet with an animal. All animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Please see http://www.nevadahumanesociety.org/ for more information including all currently available animals, adoption prices, resources, and events.
