Babs, the wonderful hugger.

Image
Babs gives the best hugs.  She hangs her front paws over your shoulder and likes you to hold her against your chest, and then she purrs to her heart's content.  Babs is a tortie-point Siamese who looks like an owl mixed with a teddy bear.  Her dramatic appearance is due to her collapsed ears, apparently the result of severe and untreated ear infections earlier in her life, and crossed blue eyes.  Babs has diminished hearing due to the scar tissue in her ears.  Babs is about 5 years of age, spayed, exceptional with people and other cats, and anxiously awaiting a loving, forever home.

Gomer, a Yorkshire Terrier for adoption.

Image
Gomer is a delightful, super cute youngster with an endearing, affectionate nature.  He is a Yorkshire Terrier, 2 years young, neutered, good with dogs and people, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue Gomer was dodging cars in one of the busiest streets in Vegas with no sign of responsible ownership (not neutered, no microchip ID, no ID tags).  Gomer deserves better.  He has so much love to share. Please plan and budget for regular professional grooming.

I need a forever home.

Image
Teddy's soulful, pleading eyes are irresistible.  He is a good-looking, very sweet Cocker Spaniel, 3 years young, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Teddy gets along well with other dogs and needs regular pro grooming.  We rescued Teddy from a government-funded shelter and he needed hip surgery.  A very generous donor sponsored his surgery, which was successful, and he has healed well.  Teddy is now ready to join a loving, forever home.

Wilson's revitalization.

Image
Wilson's frown breaks our hearts, but we are working hard to get the sparkle back in his eyes.  We rescued Wilson from a government-funded shelter.  He was a matted mess, and underneath all of those tangles and painful knots was a hernia.  Wilson's hernia is repaired, he has been shaved and groomed, and he is now eating premium, probiotic dog food.  Wilson's future is as bright as can be!  He is a Shih-Tzu & Lhasa Apso mix, neutered boy, 4 years of age, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Mitzy, a most pleasant feline.

Image
Mitzy treasures life's little pleasures, including catnapping near windows so she can soak up sunshine and sitting close to you for affection. She is a mellow, lovely medium-hair feline with jewel-green eyes, previously declawed, spayed, about 5 years of age, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Besides people, Mitzy gets along well with other cats. Please visit and ask for Mitzy by name. Special thanks to Pet'ographique for her glamorous portrait! Mitzy needed us when her previous owner's relative, who is allergic to cats, moved into the home.

Why was he violent with me?

Image
Watson is a baby boy who yearns for peace-of-mind and acceptance.  All he wants is to belong to someone who will love him.  But his previous owner neglected, abused, and ultimately abandoned him on a busy road.  Watson was badly shaken, but a tourist was eventually able to get him into the safety of her car.  Watson is making some progress and he has tremendous loving potential.  He is a Beagle mix puppy, about 9 months of age, neutered, great with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

I want to understand you and make you happy.

It is a joy to read Ellie's mind.  Because she is such a wonderfully expressive girl, all you have to do is look in her eyes, and every emotion is clearly displayed.  Ellie is a beautiful, smart Border Collie mix, 3 years of age, spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is great with people and dogs.  We rescued Ellie from a government-funded shelter.

Katlyn and her babies are now spayed and neutered and ready for adoption.

Image
Katlyn, momma Chloe, Clarissa, and Crystal, sisters Clark and Carter, brothers Katlyn and her babies have been in a loving foster home for 10 weeks preparing for this special day -- their adoption debut day. Katlyn's previous owner said "she keeps getting out and getting pregnant".  At the time of rescue Katlyn's five kittens were just newborns, about 2 weeks old, and their eyes were still closed. The kittens were in delicate health and Katlyn was traumatized.  We rushed them into foster care and within days their foster mom succeeded in winning Katlyn's trust and the kittens were stable. Now, Katlyn , who is under 3 years of age, and her babies are spayed/neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The kittens are 3 months of age.  Three are girls -- Chloe , Clarissa , and Crystal .  Their two brothers are Carter and Clark .  Katlyn's loving, very sweet nature is apparent in all five of her kittens, who are also very play

Joanie

Image
Joanie has a sparkling personality and infinite enthusiasm to share with you.  She is a Bully & Boxer mix pup, spayed, 11 months of age, compatible with most dogs, and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Presumably due to a birth defect, Joanie's nose and jaw slant in opposite directions.  But all indications are this is just cosmetic, as she eats and uses her mouth and nose normally, and this just gives her big, exuberant grins. Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety and protection.

Image
Elvis is gentle, calm-natured, and well-behaved, a humble older boy who hopes love will come around for him again so that he can spend his final years with dignity and grace.  Elvis is a noble, handsome Bloodhound, about 8 years of age, neutered, housetrained, good with older kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Is it finally, finally, finally!, my chance to really be loved??

Image
Spring's gloom is lifting and it is wonderful to see her spirit reigniting with hope for her future. She is a calm-natured Shiba Inu mix, petite and spayed little lady, about 9 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She valiantly survived a horrendous ordeal.  Her previous owner was breeding her for puppies, but refused to take her to a veterinary hospital when there were severe complications during labor.  We rescued Spring and rushed her into a hospital for an emergency C-section to save her life. Spring is recovering well physically and emotionally, and her days of being a breeding machine are now, finally, over.

Please always keep me safely indoors where I will be loved and protected.

Image

The Neil Diamond Girls are ready for adoption into a loving, forever home.

Image
Cracklin' Rosie Sweet Caroline Cracklin' Rosie & Sweet Caroline are quiet-natured, gorgeous girls with amiable personalities. They are very timid and we have to carry them from room to room.  They are gentle and just need to build confidence and self-esteem with socialization in a stable, patient home. Their previous owner was battling a terminal illness the past several years and could not give them the care and attention they needed.  So they will need kind guidance to help adjust to a new home. Cracklin' Rosie is a German Shepherd and Sweet Caroline is a Belgian Shepherd.  Both girls are spayed and about 8 years of age. Please help us find a hero to adopt the pair and help them reach their full loving potential.

Manny's triumphant debut for adoption!

Image
Manny is an angelic puppy with the cutest deer-like appearance and bubbly personality.  He is a German Shepherd, about 10 months of age, neutered, and full of love.  At the time of rescue weeks ago he was dangerously malnourished. But he is responding well with pancreatic enzyme substitutes (sprinkled on his food) for a pancreatic insufficiency. German Shepherd knowledge is strongly preferred for Manny's adoption.

Image
Darren inspires us with his radiance and immense joy for life.  Meet Darren and prepare to be dazzled by this light-hearted, happy boy.  He is an attractive Australian Cattle Dog, neutered, 4 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of Darren's rescue from another shelter, his right hind leg was missing and his right eye was bursting and could not be saved.  He is adjusting well to life with one eye and long ago adjusted to life on three legs.  Please help us find Darren a hero.

Adams & Van Buren, baby brother guinea pigs for adoption.

Image
Adams & Van Buren are baby brothers who would like to stay together for lifelong companionship.  Guinea pigs are social animals and find tremendous joy and peace-of-mind with others of their kind, generally speaking.  Adams & Van Buren are cute boys, about 5 months of age, and very enthusiastic for their daily salad greens.  Please ask for the brothers by name in Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room. The boys needed rescue when they were reportedly purchased by a previous owner to be family pets, but it turned out a child was allergic to them.

Please show me how to reach my full loving potential.

Image
Tiki's loving potential is enormous!  She is smart and eager to please, and this golden young girl craves attention and kind guidance.  Tiki is a lovely Australian Shepherd & Border Collie mix, 1 year of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tiki needs a hero because she is quite bashful and needs more socialization.  Once she understands how she fits into this world, her personality will soar and shine.

The return of optimism.

Image

Rusty is a sweet senior, good with dogs, and reportedly housetrained. He needs an adult-only home because he can reportedly get moody and become intolerant of strangers. These fantastic portraits of Rusty are courtesy of Pet'ographique.
