We are an all- volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2021. our founder, Melanie Shayne, has been rescuing dogs in the Las Vegas valley and surrounding areas for the past decade. She was inspired to begin saving animals by the soul dog who changed her life for the better, Turbo! The Kiss My Paws volunteer program exists for two basic reason. First and foremost, to help homeless dogs find loving and responsible homes, and to give volunteers a chance to make a difference.
