Cookie & Betsy Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue These sisters are 6 and 7 years old, spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Their owner died, and we would like to keep them together. Betsy tends to be a little more timid and Cookie a little more social. Both are sweet, loving girls who seem to get along with other dogs, adults and kids.

Loraine Bern of North Las Vegas said, “Timmy is 8 years old and such a funny and cute dog. He likes to go for a walk every morning. I broke my hip, so for a while, my son took him for me. The minute we say, ‘Walk,’ he’s right at the closet door for his leash. I lost my Fritz last year to cancer, and I am so glad I have Timmy.”
