My story

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

I’m Sarge. I look big and tough, but I’m really a shy guy. When I meet someone new, I get nervous and might let out a little growl while I figure you out. I don’t mean anything by it — I just need a moment. I can be a bit mouthy, too, giving soft little nibbles or gentle grabs when I’m unsure or excited. It’s just how I check things out. Give me a treat and a little time, and I start to warm up fast. Then the wiggles come out. I get bouncy, happy, and ready to follow you everywhere just to stay close. I make tiny huffs when I’m unsure and big, content sighs when I settle in. At the end of the day, I’m a friendly, affectionate dog who warms up slow, loves hard, play hard, and has plenty of high-energy joy once I trust you.

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.

More about this shelter

Nevada Humane Society is a non-profit organization whose lifesaving work is made possible through donations.

Today, more than 70,000 animals have been placed into loving homes since 2007 and NHS continues to grow, maintaining its status as one of the top communities in the country for saving homeless pets.
