Foster care needed for newborn kittens!

Image
These six motherless newborns desperately need the tender loving care of a foster parent. They are just one week of age, found in a box, with their mother nowhere in sight. They need bottle-feeding every few hours (and we will supply the formula and bottles). If you can help foster any or all of them, please visit Nevada SPCA today before 5pm and ask for Janean.  Thank you!

Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety.

I had almost given up hope that anyone would ever really love me.

Alpine is a spunky, gorgeous young girl who is so fortunate to be alive.  She is a tri-color Beagle, now spayed and 2 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Alpine was rescued after being abandoned in the desert at Red Rock park.  A microchip led to her previous owner, who said she had given Alpine to a friend to take to a no-kill shelter because Alpine snapped at her when she tried pushing the dog off of the bed.  Please help us find someone responsible and worthy of this young girl's unconditional love.

Let's get started on the rest of our lives.

Is there please a hero out there for me??

Smokey needs a hero. We found him discarded in a box without any food or water. He peered out at us with the saddest eyes and he was grateful to be held and cared for and reassured. It turns out that Smokey is 14 years of age and diabetic. He needs twice-daily insulin shots, so an adopted home or foster home is needed urgently so that he gets the shots he needs at the proper times, which is nearly impossible in a shelter environment. Smokey is a very handsome charcoal & light grey medium-hair and he is neutered.  Please ask for Smokey specifically by name at Nevada SPCA if you are willing to consider adopting or fostering this humble, sweet boy.

Can I be your baby?

Image
