About
Dog Friendly Las Vegas started in late 2024 with a simple goal: help dog-loving travelers navigate Las Vegas with confidence.
The Dog-First Media Company Reshaping How Las Vegas Thinks About Pets
As frequent travelers ourselves with our always-with-us pup, we felt the same frustrations most dog parents do — digging through outdated listings, guessing at hotel policies, searching endlessly for relief areas, and hoping a destination was truly dog-friendly, not just dog-tolerant. We set out to fix that.
But the deeper we stepped into the Las Vegas dog community, the more we realized something bigger: the information gaps weren’t just affecting visitors. They were everywhere — events scattered across platforms, rescues struggling for visibility, businesses missing opportunities to connect with dog parents, and residents lacking a central, trusted resource for news, tips, and local guidance.
So, Dog Friendly Las Vegas became more than a travel resource. We became a dog-focused media company built to support the community, amplify local and national stories that matter, and connect dog lovers with the businesses and nonprofits doing incredible work across Southern Nevada.
A Mission Built on Research, Community Insight, and Storytelling
From day one, accuracy and clarity have shaped everything we publish. Our content is researched, verified, and written to genuinely help our readers make good decisions for their dogs, whether they’re planning a vacation or looking for a new vet down the street.
But what makes Dog Friendly Las Vegas uniquely valuable — and increasingly influential — is the blend of local depth and national reach. We cover Las Vegas events, rescues, businesses, and community needs with detail that larger outlets can’t match, while also reporting on national trends, news, recalls, and legislation that impact dog lovers everywhere.
It’s this mix that draws both local readers and out-of-state dog parents who want reliable information from a trusted source.
The Gaps We Fill — For the Community and Our Partners
As we grew, we quickly saw the missing pieces in the Las Vegas dog ecosystem:
- A comprehensive, updated events calendar
- Visibility for rescues and small nonprofits
- Opportunities for dog-loving businesses to connect with their audience
- Accurate, research-driven travel information
- Coverage of national news in a way that feels relevant to Nevada dog owners
- A single place where clarity, compassion, and community meet
These gaps shaped our mission. But they also created a clear space for brands, nonprofits, and dog-friendly businesses to grow alongside us.
When we spotlight a rescue, a business, or an event, we don’t just share a flyer — we tell their story. We connect them with readers who value authenticity, trustworthiness, and depth. And because our audience is highly engaged and already invested in local dog life, that connection has meaningful impact.
Philanthropy and No-Cost Support for Nonprofits
Giving back is built into our foundation. Dog Friendly Las Vegas is committed to donating 1% of profits to nonprofits across Nevada and the surrounding region. But philanthropy, to us, is not just financial.
We support nonprofits by extending:
- Free listing in our events calendar
- Spotlight features highlighting their mission
- Coverage across our social channels
- Behind-the-scenes volunteer support
- Event assistance and sponsorship
- Custom-built tools like calendar extensions to reduce administrative work
These tools help rescues spend more time saving dogs and less time managing logistics — something we view as essential to our identity.
Tourism Still Matters — And Our Growth Supports It
Even as our local presence expanded, our commitment to travelers remained strong. Visitors rely on us for hotel policies, fees, relief-area maps, service recommendations, and guidance on navigating dog life in a city that moves fast.
And because our audience includes both locals and travelers, businesses who partner with us reach a wider, more diverse market. Local boutiques and national brands alike gain access to dog lovers who are actively looking for places to visit, shop, dine with their pup, or support rescues during their stay.
Our travel database will continue to grow in 2026 — a quiet but important bridge between tourism and the local dog community.
Tools and Opportunities for Businesses, Brands, and Collaborators
One of the features we’re most proud of is our self-serve event submission platform. It lets businesses, nonprofits, and community groups add their dog-friendly events directly to the calendar — and with enhanced filtering tools, visitors can instantly see which events need sponsors, vendors, or volunteers.
For partners seeking deeper engagement, Dog Friendly Las Vegas offers:
- Content sponsorships
- Social partnerships
- Giveaways that drive meaningful visibility
- Custom tools
- Event collaborations and co-branded experiences
- On-site or in-person presence at local dog events
All designed with realistic price points, strong returns, and a focus on genuine community benefit.
Building Toward a Connected, No-Kill Future
As we head into 2026, our vision centers on growth that serves the community. We’ll be sponsoring more events, uplifting adoption initiatives, supporting nonprofits, and strengthening relationships across Southern Nevada. Our work supports — and aims to accelerate — the region’s progress toward a no-kill future.
The challenges facing dogs in Nevada are real. Abandonment, resource gaps, education needs, and community awareness remain ongoing concerns. Our platform exists to help close those gaps, one story, one event, one connection at a time.
The Mission in One Line
We exist to make life with dogs easier, richer, and more connected — for the people who live here, the visitors who travel here, the businesses who serve them, and the rescues who protect them.
