Does anyone want a one year old spayed female Husky? She is beautiful, sweet, well trained, a little needy, though. She has one eye and thinks she is a cat.
honestly. If you want a dog that can climb like a cat, you want this dog. no, you do.

I have an adopted male pomeranian about 9 years old who needs to be re-potty trained. Any good ideas that work?

I have hopes that other pet lovers join me in getting the deplorable conditions that are at the Look Puppies on Snset ave. These small puppies are kept on metal floor cages and in one cage their was two small dogs who could not even turn around. We went thair today to look for a new friend whon we lost last saturday after almost 17 years.I called the animal contol and they informed me this palce has had numerous complaints to no avail as they just happen to meet the requirements. I plan to go to ciy hall and file a complaint. I need your help.

It is amazing how the Lied Animal Shelter got away with so much. Is it because it is run by the Greenspuns (GreenValley Ranch) Greenspuns? If it was some toothless lady in Pahrump they would all be in jail.

I have had bitter sweet memories with Lied Animal Shelter in the past 5 years. I had to have a dog i had for many years euthanized there. Then, this past October, i lost a shih-tzu from a disease called pyometra. I became lonely, and very depressed. I needed an animal (or animals) to care for again. I didn’t think it was too soon! There are millions upon millions of animals who need a loving home. Some are very close to being euthanized because of the overpopulation, and i felt it was my duty as a human, as one of God’s creatures, to help one of his other creatures out. So, i went to a dog function at Desert Breeze park. I forgot the name, but it was last November 4th. I found two dogs there being adopted out by the animal foundation, and i paid for them both and took them home. They are GREAT dogs, and i love them both dearly. They are very content, and very gentle. I honored my lost shih-tzu with adopting these two shih-tzu’s, and giving them as much love and care as i gave her. I was saddened by the loss of over 1000 animals at the animal foundation last february. It tore my heart out. I was glad that my dogs were not included in the mix. I feel i saved their lives, as they may have been two of those 1000 if i hadn’t adopted them. So this is a very bitter sweet comment on the animal foundation. Sometimes there are sad stories, and sometimes there are very happy ones. I just hope that someday, the happy ones can outnumber the sad ones at that place. It’s not a good place to be, as there are dogs and cats and other animals that are in bad shape. I am just glad that some of the humans in this city go there, not to take their old, sickened animals to be euthanized, but to go there, and adopt an animal, or some animals, to give some much needed love to.

I just saw on Pet Tales page that you’ve started to list pets to be adopted. The dog and cat you chose are soooooooo cute!!

How is it that Leid has become so bad??? I have been in Vegas for 15 years and the shelter has gone from bad to worse!! I know most of this is the community’s fault - there are too many ignorant people out there who feel that animals are disposable. My ignorant neighbors across the street have managed to lose 2 Chihuahuas and one Pit in the last year. They never had collars and these people didn’t even bother to look for the missing animals!!!

So when does the management get arrested? Haven’t seen a Greenspun in court yet, have you?

How can Lied Animal shelter fire 28 employees and say they do not need to rehire anyone? I find it hard to believe that these people did nothing. Pay raises for existing employees will not increase productivity unless they are super humans. They are just asking for trouble for lack of help. My friends and family volunteer there and they state they is always too much to do. What is going to give? The animals will lose out……again. They better rethink this one. What does the Humane Society say this time?

I would be happy to help you! We filed a law suit against these horrible people after they killed 5 of our puppies! They are awful, heartless, careless, greedy, selfish people! We won our law suit, but they refuse to pay us! We helped to shut down their Eastern Avenue store, but the store on Sunset should be shut down as well! They have no business working with animals!!! They are HORRIBLE people!! Contact me if I can help you! I’d be SO happy to!!

On Wednesday August 22, 2007 a MALE, German Shepherd was STOLEN from Lied Animal Shelter and his whereabouts are currently unknown. The people filled out an application, all with false information and then walked off with the dog, before closing. He is a Black and Tan/Red male German Shepherd dog, with one blue eye and one brown eye. If you know anything, you are asked to call please please please contact Lied Animal Shelter, or GSD Rescue of Las Vegas @ 702-492-4707 THERE IS A REWARD BEING OFFERED !!!

My dog was stolen off of my Patio Tuesday night or early morning when she went outside to go to the bathroom. I work where i live and someone called animal shelter because she was found in rocks and bushes by my office door. Someone had brutely beaten her with a bath or a shoe or some blunt object. She went under surgery yesterday, and died early this morning. It makes me sick to know there are people out there who will harm such innocent animals. Please keep a close eye on your animals when they are outside, i would hate for someone else to have to go through all this pain i am going through. My Husband bought this dog for me before he left for military boot camp. He is currently in Iraq as we speak. This dog was a huge part of our family, and my 8 month old babies best friend. Lets try and catch this sick people and put a stop to this.

While searching for a friends lost siberian husky, I have come across numerous people who have had their dogs stolen. Does anyone know of a dog theft ring operating in Las Vegas, especially via “handmen” and other household construction, repair workers?

DO NOT take any animal to LIED! It has turned from a “no care shelter” to a “high kill shelter”. Nearly 8 out of 10 animals are put down - most within 72 hours!
Take them to the NSPCA on Dewey Drive. They will have a chance there!

I have heard from management, employees, volunteers and people very close to this Shelter that it is the wort run place. From the Executive Director not knowing what a “bully breed” is, to an Operations Manager who threatens people who donate, to a staff that is scared to death to say what is really going on…Animals are being sent for Medical services and not coming back, animals are being stolen but not reported, animals are being killed in less than 72 hours and then taken in dump trucks to the dump - it is “cheaper” than incinerating. They also decided not to give the animals vaccines because it cost too much. They wouldnt buy shampoo to wash dogs. And management is constantly doctoring the data to the jurisdictions, to their Board of Directors, and to the public. This place should make us embarrassed to be a citizen of Las Vegas.
