Animals found hope and rehabilitation in 2009.

At a time when local animals needed us most, with the recession and home foreclosure crisis costing them their homes and families, thousands of innocent lives depended on us saving and rescuing and adopting more animals in desperate need than ever before.

Thanks to you, we succeeded.

Nevada SPCA's dog adoptions climbed 3% in 2009, and cat adoptions soared 36%!

The year was also strong with adoptions for rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, gerbils, hamster, turtles, and the many other domesticated species rescued here at Nevada SPCA.

Our other programs for animals excelled too. We were able to reach more students and children than ever before with the Humane Education Program, we had more options for referrals to help the public find low-cost spay/neuter surgeries and vaccines for their animals at home, and our dog training partnership with Dog-E-Mom Dog Training continued helping animals adjust to new lifestyles and remain in lifetime homes. Last but not least, our Foster Care program for special needs animals, including newborns and those battling broken bones and broken hearts, advanced and is poised for more growth in 2010.

All of these achievements were due to the generous, compassionate support of people like you. Nevada SPCA does not accept government funding or funding from national animal organizations.

We are honored that you have joined with us to respect and appreciate each animal's individuality, helping them find committed, loving forever homes so that they will never know hunger or abuse or cruelty or rejection again.

Best wishes to you and all of your loved ones for a joyful New Year, full of purpose and caring.

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!
