Animal Foundation Of Las Vegas Thanks You: Nearly 300 Animals Adopted And Fostered
The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas was well at critical capacity, only two weeks into June. They had already taken in 1000 animals, and desperately needed help, in the way of fosters, and a adoptions.
Animal Foundation Of Las Vegas Receives An Abundance Of Help From Community
Well, Las Vegas showed up in a big way to help, and the Animal Foundation is overwhelmed with gratitude.
More than anything, they were looking for fosters. Even a short term foster makes a huge difference in an animals life.
The Foundation held a community foster event on Friday, June 14 – and it was a success. Though, they are never out of the woods, because Las Vegas has a huge amount of animals needing homes, at any given time.
Animal Foundation CEO, Hilarie Grey, was hoping the Las Vegas community would step in to help, but she honestly never expected the kind of response they saw. “It is so heartwarming to see. In the time I’ve been here, I haven’t seen anything like this.” And that includes the days when the foundation has had fee-waived adoption events.
The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas put out the call for foster homes – and people listened! A whopping 77 pets found temporary loving homes in just one day. And between Friday, Saturday and Sunday, nearly 300 animals were adopted and fostered!
The Animal Foundation Also Received Hundreds Of Donations
They were also given 1,700 items that were on their wish list – the most successful amount brought in in the past six years.
The Animal Foundation also gave an update on the 39 French Bulldogs they took in, that were found at a puppy mill in east Las Vegas. The case is still being worked on, and the Bulldogs are on a legal hold and not available for adoption or foster yet.
Henderson Police discovered the dogs while working a search warrant. It was a puppy mill that was unrelated to the search, but luckily they found the dogs.
The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas thanks you, for being the great community that you are – and always helping when it is needed. You made a lot of animals very happy. Hopefully the Animal Foundation can keep this going!
The Poop Museum And 6 Weird Nevada Attractions You Must Visit
1. The Clown Motel: Tonopah, Nevada
The Clown Motel is just plain weird. And it is said to be haunted – which is not hard to believe. I have been to it, but refuse to stay, because it is like something out of the X-Files the Scully and Mulder would have even avoided, But it is quite the tourist attraction. At least check out the weird gift shop.
2. The Middlegate Shoe Tree: Dayton, Nevada
It’s a tree with a bunch of shoes hanging over branches. The story is that a couple got in their first fight as newlyweds, they had an argument right near the tree, and one left the other walking home, without shoes. They patched things up, but made an anniversary tradition out of going back each year to throw a shoe on the tree. It’s interesting. In Dayton, Nevada, about 50 miles from Fallon Nevada, on The Loneliest Road In America.
3. The Car Forest: Goldfield, Nevada
The call it the Free Range Art Gallery. There are dozens of cars, vans, and trucks half-buried, or sticking straight up out of the ground, and even on top of each other. These are the canvas, and they are really colorful, and festive. It’s a really cool sight to see, in the living ghost town of Goldfield.
4. Seven Magic Mountains: Las Vegas, Nevada
The Seven Magic Mountains were supposed to be a temporary exhibit, but they have been up since 2016. About 20 minutes outside of Las Vegas are seven fluorescent colored, 11 story rock towers. They have become a bit of have become something of a cult classic, and they are a GREAT photo op. A really cool sight to see!
5. The National Atomic Testing Museum: Las Vegas, Nevada
There were over 900 atomic tests in Nevada. And people would take buses to see the testing. It was a huge draw for Las Vegas, and people came in from everywhere. People would bus out to the test site, put their goggles on, have a cocktail, and enjoy watching the mushroom clouds in the sky. It was quite the attraction on Las Vegas in the 50’s. The Atomic Testing Museum, though, is quite amazing, and full of history. A huge, actual, nuclear reactor, a backpack nuke, and personal atomic weapons. Yikes! But the Oppenheimer era was fierce in Las Vegas.
6. Little A’Le’Inn: Rachel, Nevada
The Little A’Le’Inn is just as kitschy as you would imagine! You can stay there, eat there, and shop. All a play on the Area 51 test site, that is not too far down the road. And all part of the heyday of the Las Vegas atomice times. Do NOT try to trek on over to Area 51, and think you’ll get past anything. Lights go on, and guards swarm in from nowhere! Just keep close to the Inn.
