Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Las Vegas, NV
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Henderson
Henderson is known for its safe neighborhoods, scenic trails, and a slower pace than the rest of the valley. It’s a city that takes pride in its parks and outdoor spaces, which makes it a natural home for dogs and the people who love them. From most of Henderson it’s about a 30-minute drive to our Las Vegas adoption events, a short trip for a lifelong friend.
Getting to an adoption event
From Henderson, the quickest route to our Petco event location is usually I-215 or I-15 and then Blue Diamond Road, which typically takes about 25 to 30 minutes depending on where you start and the time of day. Pick out a dog on our available dogs page, reserve a spot to meet them, and carve out a little extra time for traffic.
Dog-friendly Henderson
Henderson has a reputation as an outdoorsy city, with parks, trails, and walking paths in many neighborhoods. Its parks are good places to practice leash walking with a new dog, and the shaded areas help in warmer months. Heat is still a factor, so plan walks for early or late in the day and bring water. Rules vary by park, so check the posted signs.

Adoption Event Manager
I’m a proud dog mom of two pups. I was asked to join Amazing Dogs Rescue just days after my beloved Kaylee, a beautiful, regal Carolina Ridgeback mix of almost 15 years, passed away. She was my best girl and was central in my life. I felt a strong desire to help other dogs and families experience a similar connection. Joining Amazing Dogs Rescue has been heart-healing and rewarding by uniting humans and dogs looking for joy and togetherness. At my second adoption event, I encouraged a mourning woman to adopt a new pup into her life. That same day, I also welcomed a new dog-ter into my life. It so happened that the woman and my new pup had the same name! I love signs from God, and I take my direction from Him.
Petco Certified Trainer
My childhood goal was to be a veterinarian but as I got older, I fell in love with the training field. I want to help teach humans how to teach their dogs & how to bond by creating a clear system of learning that is founded on a strong history of trust, positive reinforcement & more! There is so much more to our training methods than just giving a treat for a job well done, and if you can learn the nuances of the methods, you can not only create a deep bond with your dog, but create a system of communication that you can use to teach your dog so much.
