My story

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

BONDED PAIR ALERT 💕💕

Millie
4yrs old
Presumably Gertie’s daughter

Meet Millie, a sweet and affectionate dog who is all about love! Millie adores belly rubs and will melt in your hands the moment you give her attention. She’s a great eater, potty trained, and incredibly smart, always eager to please and show her love. Millie’s favorite activities include relaxing on the couch for a cozy cuddle session, going on walks, and enjoying the outdoors at the park. She’s also a big fan of sunbathing and will happily soak up the warmth whenever she can!

Millie is crate trained and very protective of Gertie. These two are a bonded pair, and Millie is always by Gertie’s side, providing her with the love and security she needs. If you're looking for a loving, calm companion who just wants to give and receive affection, Millie is sure to steal your heart.

Gertie
10ish yrs old
Presumably Millies Momma

Meet Gertie, a 5-pound senior dog with a heart full of love and curiosity! Despite her age, Gertie is a happy and spirited pup who loves to explore the world around her. She has had a bit of a health journey with bigging stage of kidney disease, so she requires a special diet, no treats, and daily probiotic and kidney supplements to keep her feeling her best. Gertie also had never been spayed and had numerous mammary tumors when she came to us we did biopsy them and they are cancerous so we are not sure how much time she has but she is not ready just yet.

Gertie is crate trained, mostly potty trained, and a great eater—always excited for mealtime. While she is usually reliable about her potty habits, she may have accidents if she’s nervous or scared, so a calm and loving environment is important for her. She also has the most adorable little nose and loves to make the cutest noises, especially when she’s happy (which is often!). She’s especially excited when you come home, and her joyful greeting is sure to brighten your day.

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.
