Will you let me play & hide in your hair?



A bite of melon is just dandy with Vivian and she eats it delightedly.

Vivian is an adorable young sugar glider debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is approximately one year of age.  She needed us because her previous owner could no longer care for her.

Sugar gliders are marsupials.  They are nocturnal animals who play at night and sleep during the day.  They love their comfortable pouches, which keep them out of sunlight and help them feel safe.  A vertical cage with a nesting box so she can climb is very important (while aquarium-type habitats are not acceptable).

Vivian needs an experienced owner who is knowledgeable about her species.  A fresh fruit diet is essential for her health and there are specific woods it is acceptable for her to chew on.  Sugar gliders in captivity reportedly can live 10-15 years.

She enjoys playing in the staff's hair and crawling on their arms (done safely to ensure she does not fall).

Please ask for Vivian by name in Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room.

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!
