Vegas, and her friend Reno, were found wandering down Highway 46 by a nice gentleman from Wildlife Solutions.  Vegas is a happy and playful dog.  She likes children over the age of five and loves to eat dry dog food.  Yummy!

 

Volunteer update 10/3: Reno and Vegas are two of the most well mannored puppies i have even know! They are so sweet, smart and affectionate. They so great at all adoption events, love other dogs, kids, people, anything! They crate very well and are calm and quiet when no one is paying attention to them! They are a beautiful pair but we understand if they have to be adopted apart! They will be great additions to any home!

 

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
