FOSTERING <3

I am now a Foster mom for the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society

LVVHS does not have a facility, but rather they depend on foster parents to take care of the animals until they are adopted out. They have open adoptions every weekend at Petco. LVVHS pays for all the expenses to be a foster parent and they provide crates, food, etc. My first 2 fosters are Cora and Tokin. Cora is a 6 month old Daschund. She is sweet, gentle and very playful. Tokin is a baby Shephard. I'm not sure how old he is, but I know he's younger than Cora. They are super sweet and I hope they find loving permanent homes soon! Hopefully this weekend they get adopted. LVVHS has plenty of puppies that need to be fostered and plenty of dogs of all ages up for adoption that need a home.

Best Friends Puppies Aren't Products

Best Friends launched a Puppies Aren't Products campaign in Los Angeles, and it has been an ongoing success! PAP is not meant to put puppy stores out of business, but rather to encourage stores to help shelter puppies and rescues, rather than buy from breeders and inhumane puppy mills. They are there to help raise awareness about the puppy trade and the cruelty behind it. So far, many LA puppy stores have changed their tactics and have helped to find homes for rescues. I'm very excited to say that Best Friends has branched out to Las Vegas in this effort and has kicked off a Las Vegas Puppies Aren't Products campaign. I'm very much looking forward to continuing peaceful demonstrations and helping to raise awareness for this effort. We'll be demonstrating outside Chi-Chi Couture to help educate the public and the store owners.
