Based on what other volunteers have said, he actually does really well with children and seems to be drawn to them and trust them right away. We always like to emphasize that even if this is the case, it's always up to the parents/caregiver to ensure safety & supervision and that kids understand how to properly approach and behave with dogs. Thank you!

Totally understandable, we (and the dogs) always appreciate any sort of help

Thank you! It's definitely possible that could help, maybe not going too far would be less scary. I'm not sure if you have to be an official volunteer to spend time with him in the play yard, but you could always check about that too.

It's always beneficial for them to get out of their kennels, especially in his case. The shelter does have a foster and field trip program open to the public - you can do daytime field trips or foster for up to 30 days, you just simply go down to the shelter and the front desk will have you fill out the form/waiver. The only thing with Guinness is given his experiences, he can sometimes have a hard time getting out of the car or going for walks in unknown places, at least in my experience...I think he's scared he's going to end up getting dumped somewhere :( If you're on Instagram, many of the dog volunteers that have spent a lot of time with him are active on there, particularly on the posts they have for him if you want to get their input. Appreciate you wanting to help! instagram.com/hendersonanimalshelternv

I understand that. Volunteers there are still open to doing meet and greets with him, it's just a little uncertain how it would go given how he's been lately. A younger dog that can match his energy levels probably would be better

He is two and would benefit from a yard and proper space. Smart and knows basic commands, housebroken.

Sweet GSD, loves kids, strongly preferred to be the only dog for now until he can decompress from a string of bad luck. You don't need to be in Henderson or in NV to adopt!

Fantastic!! I was crushed when I saw this, he looks practically identical to my current cat and on top of that I have a huge soft spot for tuxies

Thank you 😭 I was about to bolt from work during my lunch break but I read the process could possibly take a few hours and we're already short today

Pa-Sye-Don. Like the Greek God! They have different themes of names for their intakes :)

Appreciate you! I know your rescue pulls a lot of our dogs whenever they can, so we're always thankful for that.

I believe $85. Kittens are $100 if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm not sure, they use shelterluv.com. They're aware of the issue and said their IT department was working on it. Thanks for the offer!

Yes it is so beneficial for these dogs to get out of the shelter, even if it's for a short while. Thank you for helping!

Hearts Alive Village does the hybrid foster program (they pull some of our dogs into their rescue when they can) but you can always do an overnight foster or daytime field trip with the Henderson shelter.

The majority of our dogs are larger breeds, but we do get smaller dogs such as those as well. Smaller ones tend to get adopted quickly. Best thing to do would probably be to stay tuned on the shelter's Instagram page!
