Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Las Vegas, NV
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Summerlin
Summerlin is a sprawling master-planned community on the western edge of the valley, famous for its trails, parks, and views of Red Rock Canyon. Active families and outdoor lovers call it home, so it’s a natural place for dogs who love to explore. About 30 minutes from Summerlin you’ll find our Las Vegas adoption events, a small trip for a big addition to your family.
Getting to an adoption event
Starting in Summerlin, you’ll cross the valley toward the southwest, which usually takes about 30 minutes. The 215 Beltway is a common way to cut across, then head toward Blue Diamond Road. Traffic can vary during commute times, so aim for a weekend or midday visit if you can. You can find your match on our available dogs page and reserve a meet-and-greet beforehand.
Dog-friendly Summerlin
Summerlin has an extensive network of trails and neighborhood parks, and shopping areas like Downtown Summerlin have a pet-friendly feel. Nearby Red Rock Canyon allows leashed dogs on many trails, but desert heat is no joke, so go early and bring plenty of water. Always check each park or business for current pet rules.

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.
