Flora's before & after pictures.

Flora, on June 17, after her rescue.

Flora's coat was so matted that it fused together, and was shaved off on in essentially one piece.

Flora, on the afternoon of June 18.
Sometimes the neglect is so unconscionable and extreme that we need to show you the before & after pictures of the rescued animals.

Flora's "before picture" above does not completely convey how filthy and knotted she was yesterday.  We rushed her to a veterinary clinic, worried there were insects on her skin and in her coat.  The veterinarian determined that her jaw was broken long ago and healed lopsidedly, but functionally.

Special thanks to Terri Harris, at Dewey Veterinary Medical Center, for spending much of the afternoon cleaning and shaving and grooming Flora.

We expect Flora to be ready for adoption this week.  We want to find her a home where she never again feels worthless or forgotten.  From now on Flora needs only the best of human nature and the understanding that she is a precious, treasured gem.

Also, here is a video vine (6 seconds) of Flora giving kisses of gratitude after her grooming this afternoon: https://vine.co/v/hBEblnPKLVF

Twinkie, a tiny Yorkie for adoption.

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!
