Not everyone helped by the Nevada Highway Patrol has two legs.

The Highway Patrol reported that its troopers were able to rescue three German shepherds Monday night after they were found on the northern 215 Beltway at Jones Boulevard.

And now the pups — Kaylee, Bailey and Hailey — are available for adoption from the Animal Foundation.

⚠️ Dog Rescue ⚠️ At 10pm Monday, with the help of good samaritans, State Troopers were able to rescue 3 German Shepherds on the northern beltway, 215 and Jones. The pups were taken to the animal foundation to hopefully be reunited with their humans. #gsd #nhpsocomm pic.twitter.com/TS5M5bHuIc

In a post early Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, the Highway Patrol said some good Samaritans helped the troopers rescue the animals.

The three dogs were taken to the Animal Foundation, which had hoped to reunite them with their owners.

However, the foundation reported Thursday that the dogs did not have microchips, collars or tags and were not reclaimed.
