This is a puppy. Kinda like kittens, puppies are young dogs. They are also quite adorable.
Christopher Furlong / StaffDoes your home need a furry friend? Lately, temperatures have been below normal in the valley, and animal shelters are struggling to keep up with the influx of strays that are turning up in need of shelter from the cold. One shelter in particular—the City of Henderson’s shelter—is beyond capacity, so they’re begging for the public to give these animals a loving home.
The City of Henderson’s shelter has room for 60 or 70 dogs. Right now, they have about 100! As the below-normal temperatures continue, they will have to continue to take any stray that is turned in and they’ve had a lot lately. “Our shelter is basically busting at the seams with dogs, so we definitely need the public to step up and adopt,” shared Danielle Harney, Animal Control Administrator with the City of Henderson. The shelter has seen an influx of animals come in during the last two weeks: 148 animals during the first 12 days of December alone!
How could anyone turn down such cute faces?
There are all kinds of breeds available for adoption at this particular shelter. From tiny Chihuahuas to huge Great Danes – you can find just about any breed you can think of here! And if there isn't one that fits your lifestyle, maybe you could try fostering or volunteering instead? There's no better way to help out than by giving these sweet pets some extra attention and love before finding them their forever homes! Plus, it's always nice when someone takes an interest in helping those less fortunate; it not only makes them feel good but also teaches them important skills like responsibility and compassion towards others.
If you can open your home to a new pet, the shelter is offering half-off adoptions through the rest of the month.
Adopting a pet is more than just adding another member to your family – it helps make sure that fewer strays end up on the streets and out in the cold weather while also providing you with endless amounts of love and companionship! So if you're looking for an adorable new addition to your family (or even just want to lend a helping hand!), be sure to check out what your local animal shelters have available - there's bound to be something perfect for you! With temperatures still low, these animals need homes now more than ever - so let's get them off the streets and into loving arms as soon as possible! What are you waiting for? Let's go save some lives!

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week
Another week is in the books for Aimee+Shawn, and the final week of work for Shawn has arrived! Yes, after working straight through for six months, Shawn can finally take vacation. Aimee has you all next week (she took a ton of vacation already!)
The week started with Aimee absent. A quick sickness (a quickness?) flew through the Thomas household, so Sammi stood in. We learned she already knows everything she is getting for the holidays... because she peeked at her own Amazon wish list. Bad Sammi, bad.
Speaking of buying things, she recently got suckered into buying a remedy she saw on TikTok that, if she has parasites in her stomach, will make them come out to play. The pictures of the supposed aftermath for some people are gross... but she bought it. Weird.
Shawn's sons have started asking him tough questions. Why are swear words bad? Why do people die? Is Shawn answering the questions correctly? Too direct? Not enough?
Speaking of tough questions with Shawn's sons... ONE OF THEM has to win the Lock Of The Week! They left Aimee in the dust and were tied in the final week, so a Thursday Night Football tie-break is upon us! Who will win?!
Aimee's sick and tired of inflation and other factors making her eggs so expensive... so she's decided she wants to fight inflation... by buying chickens. Hmm. It sounds weird, but the more you think about it, it could work!
This week we stumbled across the Dial-A-Carol Hotline! It's a number that you can call 24 hours a day and have a real, live person sing you whatever Christmas song your heart desires. We called them once... we called them twice... but three times was the end of the road!
Finally, Shawn recounts being Mike Tyson's security guard on one fateful New Years Eve night. Yes, it really happened.
