More about me

Hi, my name is Blossom!

From: Owner Guardian Surrender
Description: I'm a little shy at first, but don't worry-I warm up once I get to know you. I'm sweet, gentle, and I love quiet snuggles. I'm also a little opinionated about my friends-I know who I like and I'm not afraid to show it! I'm looking for a patient family who will give me time to feel comfortable and let me show my true, loving self. With the right people, I'll be your loyal little companion, your soft shadow, and a tiny heart full of love. If you're looking for an affectionate and slightly sassy friend, I think we'd be perfect together!
Dog Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I do best with same size males!
Cat Compatibility: I previously lived with cats, slow introductions recommended!
Child Compatibility: Ask about previous history; I can meet kids 12+!
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.

We’re Here to Help!

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!

Hi, my name is Wall-E!

From: Washoe County Regional Animal Services
Description: I'm your future favorite explorer! I'm curious about everything- crunchy leaves, squeaky toys, and yes, even that mysterious sock you dropped under the couch. I'm playful, a little shy, and I give the best tail-wagging greetings you've ever seen. Treats? Absolutely my favorite. Cuddles? I've got a PhD in those. I'm looking for a family who loves adventures, and a loyal, goofy sidekick who will steal your heart (and maybe a snack or two). Could that be you?
Dog Compatibility: I seem to like dogs; Let's meet!

More about me

**MY ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN SPONSORED BY A GENEROUS DONOR**

Hi, my name is Zoey!

From: Mineral County Animal Control
Description: I'm a young, strong girl who's still getting used to new places and new routines. Big changes can feel overwhelming at first, so I appreciate having a little time and space to settle in. When things are calm and predictable, I really enjoy quiet moments and gentle attention from my people.
I'm a thoughtful girl who builds trust slowly, but meaningfully. I do best when I'm allowed to move at my own pace and build trust step by step. Once I feel safe, my loyal side starts to shine. I'm not in a rush – I'm just looking for someone who understands that confidence grows with patience, and that the strongest bonds are built over time.
Dog Compatibility: I would do best as the only dog!
Cat Compatibility: History Unknown; slow Introductions recommended!
Child Compatibility: History Unknown; I can meet kids 8+!
Housing Needs: I can jump 8-foot fences and will need supervision in the yard.

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?

Hi, my name is Dozer!

Description: I am the life of the party! Always there to keep you active and keep you laughing. I'm a young pup who is eager to please and full of potential, but I'll need someone willing to guide me with positive reinforcement, structure, and time.

Dog Compatibility: I seem to like other dogs, however, due to resource guarding with other dogs, will
require high management surrounding food, treats, etc.
Cat Compatibility: History unknown, slow introductions recommended.
Child Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I can meet kids 12+.

Hi, my name is Ginny!

From: Healthy Paws of Eureka
Description: When you think of the "perfect dog", do you envision a mellow cuddle buddy with lots of love to give? That's me! Don't let my size fool you, I'm a big softie.

I can do great with another dog friend, as long as they share the same respectful communication style that I carry with me.

Hi, my name is Archie!

From: Owner Guardian Surrender
Description: I'm a (not so) little boy with a big heart and a few extra naps built into my day. I may be a little slower now, but I still wag my tail like it's my job and listen closely for the sound of snacks. My legs are tiny, my snoot is frosty, and I've mastered the art of curling up in the coziest spot in the house. I love gentle walks, warm blankets, and being told I'm a very good dog (because I am). Loud chaos isn't really my thing anymore, but soft voices, kind hands, and quiet company make my whole day. I've spent years learning how to love people, and I'm really, really good at it. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who will nap beside you and fill your home with cute, come meet me!
