    My fiancé and I had an incredible experience adopting our new dachshund from Vegas Roots Rescue. From the start, Lauren made the entire process so smooth. She was responsive, thorough, and genuinely cared about ensuring we found the right fit for our family. We were able to meet our sweet boy and even bring him home to see how he blended with our other dogs--which went perfectly. Now, we have another little angel to love and spoil. The two women running this rescue are nothing short of amazing. Their dedication to saving animals and finding them the best homes is truly inspiring. If you're thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, I can't recommend Vegas Roots Rescue enough. They're making a difference one pet at a time, and we're so grateful to be part of that story.

    My beautiful girl, adopted from Vegas Roots.

    Amazing communication and heartfelt cause. I adopted the best puppy from them. Everyone wants to take her home, she has the best temperament. I also offered to foster with them. All around great experience and life-saving cause.

    We got a great puppy from Lauren At Las Vegas Roots. She is healthy and so full of life. They care about the homes the dogs go to.

    Animal Foundation My…read morehusband and I were looking for a Syrian hamster and they didn't have any. We got to say hi to dwarf hamsters and bunnies. There were only a few cats which was incredible, because so often they are full. The dogs, though, broke my heart. Their cages are clean and the animals were all healthy, just sad and lonely. We went to kennel after kennel and it was just heartbreaking to see so many sweet, beautiful, adorable, and needy dogs. It makes me want to beg all of Las Vegas to please go and adopt a sweet new dog, but I know that not everyone wants a dog or can have them for whatever reason. We don't even have dogs, but we do both love them. I just hope that the people who can adopt dogs will go to the animal foundation and help give an animal a forever home.

I've tried numerous times to inquire about a posted pet and by the time I get a response- either it was adopted or an organization came and took the pet. It would be nice to know before I go all the way to north Las Vegas what the availability is. I would hate to go there and it pet is adopted. I've also dropped off strays I've found here like 3x. It's such a loooooonnnggg tedious process! Like they make you wait so long for thier intake. I had at one point had to get staff to help us asap when 2 of the dogs didn't want to go in! It took forever! I'm just disappointed in this place. They are suppose to help these pets but they are so disorganized and they have become one of the biggest high kill organizations here in Vegas. How sad!

After I set an appointment, I received an email with instructions ands tips on how to prepare your pet before and on the day of the appointment. As a first time pet parent, I truly appreciatted that! From the moment we walked in to the time we picked up Oreo after her procedure, every single person we encountered was super kind! I had a million and one questions being that Oreo is my first pet and I was nervous about how the procedure will go. They answered every single question I had, explained everything thoroughly with patience and even asked if I had any more questions! While waiting in the lobby, we chatted with a family who was bringing in their 3rd pet and they let us know how great Heaven can wait is. We couldnt agree more! They do not overcharge (paid $230 for spay and microchip) and dont sell you things you dont need! I asked about a cone for Oreo and they explained why we may not necessarily need it! Being a non-profit, I thought maybe they try to get as much money as they can, but nope. I was expecting Oreo to be lethargic for like 3 days but she was back to her happy self like the 2nd day! I dont see a big scar on her belly like Ive seen in other dogs either. This is the place to bring your beloved pets if you want top notch care for a reasonable price. I am so thankful for Heaven Can Wait Animal Society and all their wonderful staff! From the receptionist, to the vet techs and Veterinarians. They all seem to care for and love what theyre doing. I highly recommend Heaven Can Wait Society and my family and I absolutely support their cause.

When we first brought Chewie home, we were very worried because he had a cough and needed medical care. As a new puppy owner, it was stressful and scary because all we wanted was for him to be healthy, comfortable, and okay. I am thankful that Puppy Boutique Las Vegas did not ignore our concerns and helped make sure Chewie received care through the clinic they partnered with. I also want to thank Calvin for being friendly and helpful during the process. Even though the beginning was stressful, I appreciate that they stayed involved and helped with Chewie's health. I also want to give credit to Flamingo Pet Clinic for helping treat Chewie and taking care of him. Because of their care, Chewie is doing much better now, and that has been a huge relief for us.

We…read moredecided to make Mother's Day very memorable and get my wife a cat that needs loving and grow with a family. We run into Nutter Butter that had just arrived at the PetSmart on 2140 N Rainbow Boulevard. I believe his arrival date is 5/52026. My wife and I immediately love him, but our determination was based on how he reacted to our children. Our daughter is four years and our son turns two in July. We knew he'd be shy, but Nutter Butter responded very well to our children, and that's what made us take the leap of faith to bring him home. Less than twenty-four hours later, Betty the Adoption Facilitator sent me a text at 7:33am, denying our adoption request, and even went to the length of stating that she refrains from adopting to family with small children. She informed me to wait until my children get older, THEN at that point we can adopt a cat. I expressed to Betty that Nutter Butter was very receptive to my children and that's what made us sure in our determination to adopt him. I would like to state that Betty was not present for my family meeting Nutter Butter. After informing her that I felt this was blatant discrimination, and that I'd be filing a complaint, she immediately requested to meet her at PetSmart so we can discuss adoption at 6pm today. However, the initial encounter was so negative that I canceled the meeting. If this is how your adoption facilitators conduct themselves when dealing with families that want to give cats a loving home, then this adoption company isn't very helpful to the cats they serve. My daughter cried when I informed her of the very abrasive text message Betty sent me. What she texted me after in a disrespectful and condescending tone is what moved me to file this complaint. This really turned a hopeful and memorable moment into a terrible experience with this adoption company. Adoption Facilitators like Betty are hurting the company, and evermore the cats they continue to house.

I was told on 23 NOV 2021 by the foster mom "I sent all your texts to the operator of the rescue I foster for and she's very happy with everything your doing to ensure Avalanche's arrival. Her only concern is if for whatever reason it doesn't work out and we have to come get him your all the way in Georgia and not that we're saying it won't work we just have to think of every possible scenario for Avalanche's safety is all. But you seem sincere and I've been talking to her about it." I then told the foster mom I would sign whatever needed that would require me to return him to Nevada. The foster mom and I then messaged everyday. I got all the things he would need and want. I got the food he was on, his favorite treats, toys, brush, leashes, collar, harness, toothbrush, shampoo, seat belt for his harness, bed, crate etc. I scheduled a vet appointment and two daycare evaluations locally as well as to meet with a professional trainer. Then on 06 DEC I was emailed that I cannot adopt him as I live out of state and that's their policy. This was the first I was told that policy. I've since offered to fly out there (I was going to have a rescue group transport him for me which I filled out all that paperwork) and rent a car and drive back myself (2,000 miles). I offered to do a FaceTime and have any other person they trusted that was local (from another rescue organization) to see my home as they require a home inspection. Now they are messaging me telling me "Please reach out to those rescues who will make exceptions. We will not make the exception. Thank you. We will no longer entertain ANY messages or emails from you as we have been clear on our end". I feel betrayed as I couldn't sleep the night they told me. I kept looking at everything I had ready for him and crying. I thought rescuing an animal was the right thing to do and instead I'm left with a broken heart. It's not okay what they did to me.
