My story

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

TOFFEE (F) 💓 & NUTMEG (M) 💓
11 mos & 1.5 year old Shih Tzu mix

These two babies are ready to find their forever family!! They are bonded and would love to stay together. Toffee is the female at 10-12 mos old and Nutmeg the male at 1.5 years old. They came from an overcrowded/hoarding type situation and never received any basic training. Since being rescued 3 months ago and receiving all vetting, they have been living in foster care and learning to trust and have fun. Fosters have worked with them on potty & leash training and they have made lots of progress. They will need a patient family to continue to help them grow and learn so they can be their best version of themselves. They also are timid at first meeting new people but open up with a bit of time. Their fosters say they are so loving and sweet and have enjoyed having them. They want to find the best dedicated family to adopt them. They have so many new things to learn and new adventures to discover!! Could you be that family to do this for them?? We hope so! You will be rewarded in kisses and cuddles for years to come. ❤️❤️❤️

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our animals are kept in foster care until we find them the best forever home. All prespective adopters fill out our interest form and have a home check as well as a meet and greet with the animal they are considering adopting. A small adoption fee is asked for depending on the animal and it's age etc. An adoption contract is signed by both parties and if there is any issue with the animal after adoption the adopter agrees to return the animal to us.

More about this rescue

Our dream at Vegas Pet Rescue Project is to positively impact the Las Vegas homeless, abused and abandoned pets that overwhelm our shelter system by giving them a new lease on LIFE. Our primary focus will be to assist the local animal shelters (Animal Foundation and Henderson Shelter) with the pets who have been given limited time to be adopted before they are removed from the shelter system due to a multitude of reasons. We will accomplish this goal through our extensive network of foster families, donations, and sponsors. We would also like to help finance spay and neuter programs to help low income families be responsible pet owners and decrease the overpopulation issues we face in Vegas. We also feel it important to collect pet supplies and food for local rescues and the city’s Good Samaritans who foster rescue pets and take in strays. Eventually we would love to help create a volunteer based program to investigate and bring down illegal breeding. We have been helping the pet rescue effort in the city for 3 years now and feel like we are just getting started.
