Story
Sasha is a sweet girl who can be shy in new situations and with new people. Once she feels comfortable, her adorable personality comes out and she loves to play! Sasha was raised with young kids and loves them (it has nothing to do with the fact that they drop food a lot, she swears!). She gets along well with other dogs and would love to have a friend in her forever home. Sasha was born in October and currently weighs 11 lbs.

Story
Hi my name is Ginger and I'm a sweet young girl looking for my furever home. I came from a home with too many dogs and I got along with everyone but now it's time for me to find my own family to love and snuggle with. I may be a little shy at first but I'm learning what it's like to have humans as best friends and with a little time I know I'll figure out the best place for a nap is in your lap! I'm looking for a kind and gentle family that will show me what it's like to be loved and cared for as your loyal companion and best friend so I can have a family of my very own. If you think a sweet girl like me can come join your family I know I'll win you over with my stunning good looks and kind personality. Please come visit me at Never Forgotten Animal Society in Pahrump, Nevada, I'm looking forward to meeting you!Our pets are "New Home Ready", meaning adopted animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated including rabies and have a microchip.

Story
Hi my name is Kraven and I’m an amazing boy looking for my forever home. I’m house and crate trained, I walk pretty good on a leash but I pull a little so I could some continued training to become your best boy. I love to be outside, play with toys and I have quite a bit of energy but I love to be with people and I’m good with some dogs with the proper introduction. I’m a little afraid of children so it would probably be best if you didn’t have any kids in your home but I’m really looking for a family of my own that will love me as much as I love them. I’m loyal and kind and will be by your side as your best boy. If you think a handsome and fun loving boy like me can join your family please contact Never Forgotten Animal Society at 775-537-8674 to make an appointment to visit with me as I’m currently staying with my foster mom in Pahrump, NV.Our pets are "New Home Ready", meaning adopted animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated including rabies and have a microchip.
