About Sin City Saint Rescue

Sin City Saint Rescue is the local chapter of The  St. Bernard Rescue Foundation, Inc.* a recognized 501 (c) 3 non profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of the St. Bernard breed.  The website for the national foundation is www.saintrescue.org

Sin City Saint  Rescue was founded by Olive Ashwell who became the Southern Nevada volunteer  for The St. Bernard Rescue Foundation, Inc. in 1998.  The number of St. Bernards  in need of rescue in the Las Vegas area continues to increase and Olive feels it  is important that the local community is aware how many of these
Gentle Giants  are in need of loving homes.  Over 600 St. Bernards have been rescued and placed  through Sin City Saint Rescue.  Yes, Virginia, there ARE St. Bernards in Las  Vegas! According to Ashwell,  "Many people think that St. Bernards shouldn't be in  Las Vegas, but the fact is that they are here, we don't bring them here!  Most  of the rescues are turned in by someone who purchased an adorable, cuddly little  puppy and when he got big they didn't want him anymore."  Oftentimes, when asked  the reason they want to give up the Saint, people will say "Because he got too  big."  I want to ask them "didn't they tell you he was a St. Bernard when you  purchased him?"  For those people who love and appreciate the breed, they know  that when a St. Bernard grows up he is now just a big, cute cuddly dog who wants  and needs a loving family.

A special Thank You to the volunteers who come to  Adoption Events and help with the Saints, and provide information to those who  are interested in learning about our breed.
