Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Las Vegas, NV
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Southern Highlands
Southern Highlands is a polished, gated-style community known for its landscaped streets, golf course views, and quiet, residential feel. Many families here have the space and the routines that suit a rescue dog, whether that’s a small lap companion or a larger, active pup. From Southern Highlands it’s about a 15-minute drive to our Las Vegas adoption events, an easy outing for a weekend morning.
Getting to an adoption event
Think of the drive as a short, scenic hop across the southwest valley. Head north and west toward Blue Diamond Road, and you’ll reach the Petco where we hold our events in roughly 15 minutes. Weekday rush hours can add a few minutes, so leave a little cushion. Once you’ve picked a dog from our available dogs page, reserve your meet-and-greet and we’ll see you there.
Dog-friendly Southern Highlands
Southern Highlands has wide sidewalks, landscaped paths, and parks that make daily walks pleasant. It’s a community where seeing neighbors out with their dogs is part of the scenery. Desert summers call for early walks and plenty of water, and many residents rely on shaded routes in the evening. Check your community’s rules and posted signs for leash requirements and park access.

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.
