I am a brilliant young girl who needs both mental and physical exercise.

Update: Chaser was adopted on December 21st!

Herding breed dogs like Chaser require engaged, attentive owners who understand their need for mental as well as physical stimulation.

Besides daily walks and scheduled play-times, there are simple activities with toys that can also be challenging and especially fun for them.

Also, including them in as many family activities as possible has been shown to be very helpful. For instance, one adopter told us how her herding breed dog helped her tuck in the kids, check the locks on the house before bed-time, and even take out the garbage.

Chaser is an intelligent young girl, medium-sized, Heinz 57 with Australian Shepherd, spayed, and just under 2 years of age.

She is reportedly housetrained (with a doggie door), good with other dogs, and fine with older kids.

Chaser lost her home and family though due to herding the young children. (It is common for herding breed dogs to try and herd young kids and other animals to develop order.)

Chaser debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Twinkie is the tiniest of dogs -- only 3 pounds! -- but he has enormous unconditional love to share with you.  He is a super cute, super sweet Yorkshire Terrier, neutered boy, 10 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Another shelter asked us to rescue Twinkie because of his dental needs.  We had his teeth cleaned and he is now ready for a forever home.  An experienced home is required for his safety due to his exceptionally small size.

Anna Beanie Little Eric Michelle Nicholas Sisters Anna and Michelle , and their brothers Beanie , Little Eric , and Nicholas , are very affectionate babies who love giving you kisses. We rescued their pregnant mother, a Cocker Spaniel named Mary Poppins from a government-funded shelter.  She had reportedly been bred with a Scottish Terrier.  We placed Mary Poppins in a loving foster home and she gave birth to these five angels and raised them there. Mary Poppins is going to be adopted by her foster family.  Her puppies are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption. Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.

Update 2: Jellybean was adopted on November 11th! Update: Licorice was adopted on November 9th! Licorice and Jellybean , brother and sister, are nicknamed " The Sweet Candy Puppies " due to their affectionate, adorable temperaments. They are most likely Retriever mixes and may grow to medium or large size. They are spayed/neutered, approximately 3 months of age, and they debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The Sweet Candy Puppies were rescued after being found abandoned on the streets. Jellybean was injured with a hairline fracture in her right rear leg. We had her leg treated and it had been bandaged and she was resting for nearly a month. She recovered beautifully. Licorice and Jellybean can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting them together for lifelong love and companionship. They are terrific together!
