My neck has healed so well, but my heart still hurts.

Douglas, debuting for adoption October 24
Douglas has been healing for 10 weeks.  Today, he triumphantly debuts for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

He is a very sensitive, 9-pound, 9-year-old Chihuahua & Toy Fox Terrier mix, now neutered.

Douglas is good with other dogs and housetrained.

Douglas was reportedly abused for years by both adults and children.  At the time of rescue, in August, he had a large, jagged laceration across the right half of his neck and his wound was severely infected.

The veterinarian who saved his life said the cut was consistent with being from a knife or from having his head stuck in something sharp.

We have decided against publishing the picture of his open wound.  Instead, below, we have included two pictures of him healing in September, the staples showing the outline of the long cut.

Understandably, Douglas is very wary of strangers.  But we are proud of him for accepting our care and maintaining hope despite all he has endured.

Please help us find Douglas a hero who will provide him with a serene, stable, and very loving home where he never again has to fear screaming or violence.

Douglas, healing, September 17

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!
