Kristy - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Las Vegas, Nevada

Meet Kristy - the giant 70lb bundle of love!

Kristy was saved after a very kind foster offer came through. She was part of a large group of dogs from an animal hoard in Pahrump. She was born on a property and has spent all of her life living mostly in a pen. Her parents were shepherd and rottweiler. She is such an absolute sweetheart. She thrives on love and affection. She does have quite a lot of pent up energy, so will need someone who can be patient with her as she learns to dog outside of a pen. She would benefit from a home that can give her ample exercise, socialization, training, and love!

We can also happily connect any fosters or adopters with our volunteer dog trainers to help get started on the right foot! Kristy is very dog-friendly!

She is available for fostering, foster-to-adopt, and adoption. Please email Ashley at: ashley@heartsalivevillage.org for more information and to set-up a meet and greet!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
