Gambit, a 12-year-old Chihuahua, came to Pet Network Humane Society through a transfer request from Lyon County Animal Services. After his owner passed away, he was left alone in the home for three weeks before being discovered. Lyon County knew he needed medical care beyond their resources and reached out to us for help. On intake, Gambit was underweight, had a heart murmur, cloudy eyes, severe dental disease, and a concerning facial mass. Our medical team performed full diagnostics, neutering, and mass removal. The growth was identified as a melanoma, but thankfully it was non-aggressive, and surgery was curative. Gambit quickly won over everyone at the shelter, and his story ended in the most meaningful way—he was adopted by people who had known his previous owners. He recognized them immediately and climbed into their lap as if he knew he was finally home. Today, Gambit is thriving, enjoying his golden years with the comfort and care he deserves.

Bernice arrived at our shelter from The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas, NV. A long-haired French Bulldog with a gentle soul, she had already endured far too much. It was clear she had once been used for breeding and then discarded when she could no longer have puppies. When Bernice came to us, she was in rough shape.  She wasn’t eating, had persistent diarrhea, experienced overheating episodes, and struggled to breathe due to brachycephalic syndrome. Her ears were infected, her skin was inflamed, and she was significantly overweight. Our team jumped into action. Bernice underwent airway repair surgery, including a palate resection and rhinoplasty, to help her breathe freely for the first time. She was also spayed so she would never again be exploited. During surgery, we discovered an infection in her uterus—likely the reason she was no longer “useful” for breeding. We treated her ear infections, addressed her painful skin allergies, and supported her weight loss journey. After diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, we found the perfect special diet—one she now enjoys happily. Just two weeks after arriving, Bernice was transformed. She could breathe more easily, her ears and skin had healed, and her digestive issues were under control. Most importantly, she found a family that loves her simply for who she is. Bernice’s story is one of resilience, healing, and hope. Thanks to the care, compassion, and resources at our shelter, dogs like Bernice get a second chance—not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

Marlin is an adorable, sweet puppy who arrived with five siblings from an overcrowded shelter in Nevada. As the runt of the litter, he was especially small and fragile. When the litter tested positive for giardia, we initially believed that explained his occasional vomiting. However, when his symptoms did not improve, radiographs revealed a more serious underlying issue. Marlin was diagnosed with a persistent right aortic arch (PRAA), a congenital condition in which the aortic arch forms on the wrong side of the heart. This abnormal formation can create a constricting ring around the esophagus, making it difficult for food to pass into the stomach. The surgery Marlin needed is typically performed only by a specialist, but our team felt confident they could take it on. While he worked to gain enough strength for the procedure, Marlin had to be fed a liquid diet in an upright position and kept that way for 25 minutes after every meal. Staff members took turns caring for him during this time, and it didn’t take long for everyone to become deeply attached. Marlin then underwent a delicate open-chest surgery to remove the band at the base of his heart that was causing the constriction. Thankfully, the surgery was a success, and he has been recovering quickly. He is still transitioning back to a normal diet, but he continues to make wonderful progress. After spending more than a month in our care, Marlin is now thriving in his new home and can eat solid food without any issues.
