Imagine sharing your couch with Kamali, a gentle, loving dog, bringing warmth and companionship to your nights. Kamali is house-trained and knows basic commands, simply waiting for a cozy spot with a caring person.

The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas urgently needs help as they’re at capacity with 495 dogs and 318 new arrivals last week. They’re asking community members to foster medium or large dogs—over 35 pounds and older than six months—for at least four weeks.

Foster families receive $200 after four weeks, and all supplies—including food—are provided.

Pick up a pup between September 15 and 19, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the adoption lobby’s foster window.

If you’d like to give Kamali a break, ask for ID A1379013.

Fostering not only changes a dog’s life but helps relieve overcrowding in shelters, making a real impact in our community.

Residents of Vista’s Somerset neighborhood are increasingly uneasy following several alarming encounters with a suspicious man reportedly targeting young girls.  

A parent revealed her daughter has been repeatedly followed over the past few weeks by an older white male, around 50, with light dark brown hair, driving a silver car with tinted windows.  

The individual has been seen slowly circling the area and even confronted the girl near her bus stop, demanding she enter his vehicle.  

Frightened, the girl escaped into a nearby parent’s car, forcing the man to speed away.  

That same day, the family’s car was found ransacked, with a mysterious man’s necklace left inside.  

Police have been notified and are expected to investigate.  

Parents in Somerset and across Vista are urged to stay alert, supervise their children closely, and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.  

A recent coyote sighting near Vassiliadis Elementary School in Summerlin prompted a brief campus hold, underscoring rising anxiety about wildlife in local neighborhoods.

Principal Paul Catania notified families on Monday that the school was placed on "hold status" due to a nearby coyote. Clark County School District Police and animal control responded swiftly, but the coyote’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Located near Alta and Desert Foothills drives, Vassiliadis Elementary sits in an area where coyote activity is on the rise. Summerlin residents have reported more sightings, with coyotes increasingly seen roaming streets and backyards, fueling worries about pet safety.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife links this pattern to drought and urban growth pushing coyotes into neighborhoods. NDOW urges residents to secure trash, supervise pets, and report aggressive wildlife as part of community safety efforts.

Summerlin South’s Little League squad remains unbeaten in postseason play, riding a 12-0 streak into the third round of the Little League World Series.

The team has been dominant offensively, scoring 67 runs in just five games since the state tourney.

Attention now turns to pitching, where head coach TJ Fechser carefully manages pitch counts and rest days ahead of Monday’s noon matchup against Irmo, South Carolina.

Strict pitch count rules force coaches to devise smart strategies, ensuring top arms like Garrett Gallegos and Ethan Robertson are ready for key moments.

Backup pitchers Luke D’Ambrosio, Cache Malan, and Jayden Lee stand ready, deepening the staff and offering flexibility as the pressure mounts.

After a weekend break, including a visit to the MLB Little League Classic, the team returns refocused, knowing smart pitching choices could be their path to the U.S. championship bracket.

The tournament crowns a champion August 24.

Death Valley National Park continues to draw crowds eager to witness its record-breaking heat, despite recent temperatures soaring to a blistering 128°F (53.3°C).

Park rangers warn that underestimated risks often lead to one to three heat-related deaths each year, as many visitors seek help after being overcome by the oppressive conditions.

Signs scattered throughout the park highlight the peril, urging people to avoid outdoor activity after 10 a.m. and emphasizing, "HEAT KILLS!"

Yet, tourists regularly downplay these warnings, sometimes placing themselves in grave danger.

Recent incidents include a failed helicopter rescue during extreme temperatures which left a motorcyclist dead and another hospitalized.

With climate change driving more frequent and severe heat waves, park officials urge both locals and travelers to take all safety precautions seriously when visiting this iconic yet treacherous destination.

Las Vegas will shine under the disco lights with the Monday Night Fever Adoption Event at The Animal Foundation on August 18, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

The shelter transforms into a vibrant party zone with live music, a buzzing crowd, and dozens of dogs eager to meet new families.

Arriving early is encouraged, as adoptions happen on a first-come, first-served basis—doors may close if capacity is reached.

A QR code will help streamline wait times, and adopters should note a possible $10 license fee.

Each pup goes home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, making it easy to take home a four-legged dance partner.

This upbeat night unites Las Vegas for a cause that will leave tails wagging and spirits high.

Las Vegas animal shelters are experiencing severe overcrowding, especially with large dogs struggling in the stressful shelter environment. Despite the dedication of shelter staff, many dogs are overwhelmed and need a break. The Animal Foundation recently took in more than 900 animals in just two weeks, creating a pressing need for foster homes. In response, the organization has launched a foster incentive program, offering $200 to participants who foster a dog over six months old and more than 35 pounds for at least four weeks. Their goal is to place 75 large dogs into temporary homes within three days. Fostering gives dogs a much-needed respite and helps them become more adoptable by revealing how they behave in a home setting. Community members can also help by reclaiming lost pets, donating supplies, or reuniting found pets with their owners. Opening your home to a foster dog provides real relief to shelters and transforms canine lives.
