The ones I have loved and trusted before have hurt me.

Update: Pumpkin was adopted on January 7th!

Pumpkin's heart aches and yearns to believe in people, despite numerous failures from previous owners who abused her innocence.

She is a small Heinz 57 with a unique, lovely appearance that defies easy breed categorization. She is spayed, between 3-4 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Pumpkin is comforted by the presence of other sweet dogs and she is reportedly housetrained.

We rescued her from another shelter. She had been abandoned there reportedly due to separation anxiety, which is often caused by repeated abandonments -- losing those you love and fearing that more rejection and devastating loss is on the way.

But it is clear Pumpkin was also struck and screamed at. Trusting people again will take time and patience in an experienced, adult-only home with a steady lifestyle routine.

In addition, in addressing separation anxiety, while there are no instant fixes, it can be diminished as she builds self-esteem and confidence, and trust in you.

If you are gentle and blessed with a tender touch and manner, you may be the special one who will help Pumpkin emerge from her shell and realize her full loving potential.

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.

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!
