Time is running out for Nyla, a two-year-old dog at The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas.

Nyla faces euthanasia if she isn’t placed in a foster home by December 11 at 3:00 PM.

Surrendered by an owner who could no longer afford her, Nyla arrived at the shelter pregnant, was spayed, and has since struggled to adjust.

Despite her gentle heart, she’s overwhelmed by fear, often retreating or growling when scared.

Lack of exposure, denied field trips, and ongoing stress have kept her chances slim, though staff notes reveal glimpses of renewed curiosity and bravery.

She urgently needs a calm, patient foster home—her life depends on it.

The Animal Foundation is over capacity, with 168 dogs recently arriving, and every open kennel counts.

Fostering is free with all supplies provided, and even a short-term commitment could save Nyla’s life.

Our local pet food pantry is experiencing a severe dog food shortage, with only a limited supply left.

In August, the need was overwhelming, as more than 3,400 pounds of pet food were distributed to families struggling to care for their pets.

To address this rising demand, the pantry recently extended its hours, but support from the community is now essential to keep beloved dogs with their families.

Donations of both dry and wet dog food are desperately needed, and every contribution—big or small—has a real impact.

While cat food supplies remain strong, the pantry relies solely on donations and grants to operate.

Supporters can help by sending items from the Amazon wishlist directly to the shelter, or dropping off dog food at the adoption lobby, 655 North Mojave Road, Las Vegas, NV, 89101.

Together, we can keep pets safe and secure at home.

Cece, a lively two-year-old dog, is currently flourishing in her foster home through the Animal Foundation.

Her playful spirit and affectionate nature shine, making her a delightful companion who loves puzzles, toys, and cuddles.

Cece’s foster mom needs to travel soon, and she’s hoping to find either a new foster or, ideally, a permanent family for Cece.

Returning her to the shelter is a last resort, as Cece was deeply stressed during her first stay there.

Though eager to bond with other dogs, Cece’s playful energy would be best matched with a playmate who enjoys her enthusiasm.

The Animal Foundation is facing severe overcrowding, urgently seeking fosters to help dogs like Cece.

Community support in fostering, donating, or reuniting lost pets is vital for giving local animals a brighter future.

Though nervous around strangers and fireworks, he is friendly with other dogs and could flourish in a calm, understanding environment.

Adopters can meet Colossal at The Animal Foundation on Mojave Road, where his needs can be discussed with staff.

To ease overcrowding, adoption fees for large dogs are waived during August as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters initiative.

Welcoming Colossal into your home this month helps both him and the local shelter community.
