One of Nevada's largest animal rescue shelters might have to close if it cannot raise sufficient money to avoid foreclosure on its Amargosa Valley dog sanctuary.

Adopt A Rescue Pet (ARP) has less than 45 days to raise $70,000 to pay off the pending balloon payment for its five-acre dog sanctuary in Amargosa Valley. Private foundation grant funding was to have provided the money in January, but when the foundation suddenly went defunct, the non-profit pet rescue organization found itself in trouble.

"We are deeply concerned about the future of pets in the Las Vegas area if we are not able to secure the funding necessary to keep our doors open," ARP Founder Elizabeth Rubin said.

Las Vegas -- Metro Police at the Northeast Area Command want people to come out and help clean up graffiti in the area on Saturday, March 19th. Paint and cleaning supplies will be provided. The clean up starts at 9am and will run until 12pm in the area around Lake Mead and Marion. Come ready to work, a hat, gloves and old t-shirt are recommended. Water and refreshments will be provided. You don't need to make reservations, just show up ready to help clean up our community.
 

Southern Nevada residents will continue to see increased military aircraft activity as the Air Force flies Green Flag exercises through next week.

Missions that take place at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., will be flown between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. during the exercise, which ends March 25. The exercise flight path includes areas within the Las Vegas valley, to and from Nellis AFB and the NTC, near Mount Charleston, and north of Pahrump.
