I am a tiny baby boy with the heart of a lion.

Update: Choo Choo was adopted on February 8th!

Choo Choo goes into kissing frenzies when he greets us, his whole body wiggling in jubilation.

He is tremendously spunky, and full of immense personality, all sweetness for those he knows and bombastic roars of disapproval at strangers.

Choo Choo debuts for adoption today.  He is a super cute blend of multiple breeds, most likely including Miniature Pinscher and Pug and Chihuahua.  He is neutered and about 5 months of age.

At the time of rescue as a newborn (and we have conflicting accounts of how he ended up abandoned), we were at full capacity and had no kennels or double crates for him.  So we set up baby gates and fashioned a pen for him near the director's office, where he was raised within feet of rescued rabbits.  His surrogate dad has been a large, tolerant cat named Sebastian who lets him crawl all over him.  In fact, on Choo Choo's first night with us we came in the office to find that Sebastian had jumped into Choo Choo's pen and was cuddling and comforting him.

So Choo Choo has learned to love cats, but he does play a bit rough still and your cat will need to be able to tolerate his puppy excesses (or help curb them).

As with all puppies, very careful puppy-proofing of your home and yard is essential to Choo Choo's safety.  Please take extra precautions to keep him away from electrical cords, as puppies and other baby animals frequently mistake them for toys, with disastrous consequences.

An experienced home is needed for Choo Choo due to his tenacity, but with continued good guidance this little loverboy is ready to be a magnificent lifelong member of your family.

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.

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!
