About Turbo

Turbo is a portly gentleman around 8 years old. He was confiscated by animal protection services and brought to our local shelter, where he wasn't reclaimed within the hold period. Unfortunately, he seems to have made several returns to the shelter over the last couple of years. Currently, Turbo has a lump on his forearm that turned out to be a lipoma, and there's no need for surgery. His blood work checks came back clear, ruling out any serious health issues. Turbo is quite food-driven, having been given a lot of people food in the past, and he’s at least 15 lbs overweight. We’re working on a diet to help him shed those extra pounds, though he’s definitely not thrilled about it. Despite his size, he still has plenty of energy and enjoys running around, all while maintaining a chill demeanor. Turbo is house trained and gets along well with other dogs. The adoption fee is set to support all the medical needs of the dogs in the rescue, ensuring they’re spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions can occur out of state, but interested adopters must submit an application, have a home visit, and come to Las Vegas to meet Turbo before bringing him home. He’s ready for a loving environment where he can thrive. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
