Story
My name is Bryce Jenkins and I am looking to re-home a recent acquired animal. About 1-1/2 months ago my sister that lives in Monterey, CA contacted me asking me if I myself, or someone I knew was looking for a dog. She informed there was a dog at a shelter that was going to be euthanized within 48 hours. She is a very friendly 2 year old female German Shepherd. I took her in mostly in the fact to save her life and to see if she may be a good fit for myself, or to possibly re-home her, as I couldn’t bear the fact of her being put down. I have been living with her for about ~5 weeks and she is very sweet and friendly dog. Gets along well with other dogs and children. Although it ended up being more of an undertaking than I can handle. I just started a new job and am away from home from 12-13 hours per day and sometimes through the weekend. She has a lot of energy and very much looks for attention. Im afraid that with my busy schedule I just can’t provide the time she needs.

Story
Benni is 7 months old he likes to play fetch, go on hikes, take long naps and enjoys car rides. He rarely barks. He is fully up to date on all shots and has been neutered. I've been asked to travel more for work and would have to board Benni more than I want to. I think he is at the perfect age where rehoming won't be too stressful plus he loves all people.

Story
Bronco is a good dog and very friendly with our kids. We got him as a puppy and he's now 2.5. He's very playful and can get excited around new people/dogs. He's been our only pet, but has never shown aggression towards other people or dogs. He's loved, but we just don't have the time to give him the attention he deserves. He's crate trained and knows some basic commands.

Story
🌟 Meet Farah! 🌟 This stunning 1.5-year-old German Shepherd Husky mix is as social as they come! 🐾 Farah is a playtime enthusiast who loves spending time with people and other dogs. She has lived with another dog and kids before, but true to her Husky nature, she finds chasing cats a little too fun. 😆🐱 Farah is housebroken and crate trained, making her a great companion for an active home. However, she is also an escape artist, so she’ll need a dedicated owner to help her work through her adventurous spirit. If you think you can keep up with this playful girl, stop by Douglas County Animal Services and meet Farah today! 🏡❤️ 📍 Douglas County Animal Services 📅 Come meet her during our adoption hours! 📞 Call us for more info! 775-782-9061

Story
🐾 Meet Kam! 🐾 This handsome boy is almost 7 years old and has the sweetest, most gentle soul. 💙 Right now, he’s a little shy, but with time and love, he will make a wonderful addition to the right family! Kam loves being with people and enjoys his time with those he trusts. He can be a little timid around men at first, but with patience, he will warm up. He would do best in a home without cats or livestock (he thinks they’re fun to chase! 😅) and would need the right dog companion if there’s another pup in the home. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Kam might just be the one for you! Stop by Douglas County Animal Services to meet him today. 🐶❤️
