Cary on July 12
Cary is a 2-year-old boy with a very gentle spirit.  He was in enormous pain, but only showed gratitude and love for the kindness coming his way.

Special thanks to Lied Animal Shelter for agreeing to release him to us for rescue & rehabilitation.  Many of you may have known him there as #A726320.  Nevada SPCA is proud of the relationships cultivated with Lied Animal Shelter, Henderson Animal Shelter, and other shelters and rescue organizations so that we can work together whenever possible to save animals' lives.

Based on all information known so far, including the large and small bite wounds on many parts of his body, Cary may have been used as a "bait dog" to train other dogs to wound and express aggression.

Cary arrived at Nevada SPCA several minutes ago.  Surgery to neuter him, close his head wound, and try to save his right ear is expected to occur this afternoon at Dewey Veterinary Medical Center (which shares the building with us).

We hope to soon be able to report that Cary is healing well, physically and emotionally.  We understand there is a long road of recovery here and that utmost caution will be needed with him around any other animals due to the trauma he has sustained.

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.

Eliza & Hamilton Taylor If you can foster, please visit Nevada SPCA in person before 5pm and ask for Lauren.

Eliza and Hamilton , lilac point shorthairs, 5 weeks of age, were found in a backyard and their mother had vanished.
