Adopt a pet
My husband and I enjoy our dogs and try to give them a good home. From young children to the elderly, pets can provide companionship, love and fun. Yet we have thousands of stray animals—often deserted by their owners—which are put down each year. For a low fee, you can do something to save an animal and bring happiness into your home by adopting a pet. Here are three of the most reputable sources in Southern Nevada. Please take a look.
The City of Las Vegas in conjunction with the Lied Animal Foundation has pages and pages of animals in need of adoption http://www.animalfoundation.com/
The Las Vegas Humane Society’s informational site carries specific adoption information at http://www.lvvhumane.org/index.html
The Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals operates a no kill animal sanctuary and lists animals available for adoption at http://www.nevadaspca.org/
Finally, I must mention John Fredericks, meteorologist at KVBC Channel 3 in Las Vegas and an avid promoter of pets and pet ownership. You can find out more about John and links to important pet information at
