About Vegas

Vegas is looking for a loving home after a difficult start in life. She was rescued from a situation where her previous owners weren't able to care for their pets properly. Now, she's waiting for her forever home instead of being stuck in a kennel, where she’s often overlooked due to her size. Vegas gets along well with other dogs, including smaller breeds. She’s generally quiet at home and will provide alerts when strangers approach, though she warms up to new people without any issues. While she’s kennel trained and working on house training, she’d thrive in a home that understands the need for consistency and training to help her adjust. Currently located in Metairie, LA, we are willing to transport her to an adopter ready to give her a second chance. She has been spayed, is heartworm negative, and is fully vetted. The adoption fee is reduced to $50 to quickly find her a new home. Don’t miss out on having Vegas in your life! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
