More about me
Hi, my name is Mr. Incredible!
From: Washoe County Regional Animal Services
Description: I may be a wise and seasoned pup, but I still have the heart of a hero and plenty of energy for adventures! I love zooming through the yard, exploring new sights and smells, and talking (okay, maybe narrating!) my way through life. I'm loyal, loving, and always ready to save the day… or at least save the best spot on the couch for cuddles. With a few silver hairs and a lifetime of love to give, I'm looking for a family who wants a toy-loving, opinionated, and heroic companion. Could that be you?
Dog Compatibility: I seem to like dogs; Let's meet!
Cat Compatibility: History Unknown; Slow introductions recommended!
Child Compatibility: History Unknown; I can meet kids 8+!
Housing Needs: None.
Dog Care Basics
Please be patient while your dog adjusts to you and its new home. Please take your new dog directly home on a secure leash, collar or harness and try to keep it a calm environment while s/he investigates and acclimates. The transition may be somewhat stressful on your dog, and it’s best not to take it to a friend’s house, dog park, school or other busy, crowded place right away. A pet who displays a happy, playful attitude at the Adoption Center may act wary and fearful in a new environment. Please follow our Adoption Counselor’s advice during your adoption process!
Consider Getting Pet Insurance
In your adoption packet, there is information about signing up for a free trial for pet insurance. Please take advantage of this offer! It can help you save your dog’s life in the event of an unexpected accident. Additionally, you can research additional pet insurance options.

Please take your dog to a veterinarian within two weeks of adoption to create a trusted relationship for emergencies, annual checkups, vaccinations, and on-going care.
Vaccinate Your Dog
Your new dog leaves our Adoption Center up to date on vaccinations, but you’ll need to continue its vaccinations and you may want additional ones (example: Canine Flu).
Dog Behavior
Watch for cues about how your pet is feeling. If your pet seems timid, try to move slowly, or just sit in the same room reading a book and let your pet come to you. If your pet is full of energy and ready to play, get out the toys right away. But be cautious. Pets can be both scared and full of energy. Modify your actions to make your new pet feel welcome. The care you take with your own behavior in early days will pay off in the future as your pet learns that you are someone to trust.

More about me
Hi, my name is Merida!
From: Washoe County Regional Animal Services
Description: I've got it all-zoomies on demand, tail wagging at Olympic speeds, and muscles that say "tough" while my eyes say "please cuddle me forever." I face every day like an epic quest, whether I'm conquering the puzzlefeeder, declaring victory over squeaky toys, or boldly charging toward new friends. True to my name, I'm fiercely loyal, wildly adventurous, and totally unafraid of being myself. In short: I am brave, bouncy, and pawsitively adorable. After all… "If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?"
Dog Compatibility: I would do best with a similar sized calm, male dog.
Cat Compatibility: History Unknown; slow introductions recommended.
Child Compatibility: History unknown; I can meet kids 12+!
Housing Needs: Active family preferred!
