Princess

Image
Princess , a teenager, likes being held and complimented and reassured. It looks like she has a pouty lip, but this is only because she has no teeth left. She is calm-natured and grateful for every bit of kindness.    Princess is a Toy Poodle, spayed girl, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    She was rescued from a dangerously busy parking lot with no sign of responsible ownership. Nevada SPCA's adoption hours are 10am-2pm. New Year's Day adoption hours are 10am-5pm.

Mustang Sally

Image
Mustang Sally is a tiny, 5-pound cutie with a fearless, giant-sized personality.    She loves being held in your arms, but when it's time to be put back down she mistakenly believes she can just leap out of your hands high above the ground. Everyone here is falling for her quirky charm. Tell her it's time to do something really fun and Mustang Sally will begin zipping around the room in anticipation and then bite her blanket and shake it.    Also, Mustang Sally eats her meals and treats, but only if you are watching. If you even look away, even for a second, she'll stop eating. Mustang Sally is a Chihuahua, 8 years of age and spayed, compatible with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    We rescued her from another shelter that asked for our help with her dental needs.    Please visit and ask for her by name.

Andre

Image
Andre doesn't yet know he's safe. He's terrified of people and tries to hide in his igloo.  He needs a gentle hero who can help him gain confidence and reach his full loving potential. Andre is a 5-pound California Giant guinea pig (sometimes known as "Cuy", a type of guinea pig reportedly bred for human consumption in Peru), about 2 years of age.  We rescued him from another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity and enormous size.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for his portrait.

Lollipop

Image
Lollipop sits politely at your side and chirps pleas for you to gently rub her head and ears.  She is a super sweet young girl, a black & white shorthair, 2 years of age and spayed, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Lollipop enjoys other friendly cats.  She was captured by a kind person who witnessed her nearly get run over by a car. We traced Lollipop's microchip, but her previous owner failed to respond and reclaim her.  She deserves a responsible home where she will always be safely indoors and treasured as a valued member of the family.

Arnold

Arnold , a Pomeranian mix puppy, watches people carefully and listens to every word, trying to understand better where he is and where he is going.    He is 6 months of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety.   Arnold likes being held and complimented. He is also enjoys bonding with dogs.    He was found in peril in the street near a busy Vegas intersection with no sign of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not neutered).

Lexi

Image

Bessy, Henrietta, Jenny, Pearl, and Polly

Image
Bessy Henrietta Jenny Pearl Polly These 5 darling girls -- Bessy , Henrietta , Jenny , Pearl , and Polly -- are friendly guinea pigs ready for adoption in the Lovebugs Room at Nevada SPCA.  They range in age from 8 months to 2 years. Almost nothing is known about their past except that they were abandoned in a 'night drop' at another shelter, which in turn asked for our help.  The girls squeal in delight for their daily fresh salads and Timothy hay.   Guinea pigs are very social animals and they need to be adopted in pairs, a trio, or altogether (so that each goes home with at least one lifelong companion/sister).  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for their portraits.

Chopin

Image
Chopin , a pensive and sensitive youngster, longs for peace-of-mind and awaits adoption at Nevada SPCA. We rescued him from another shelter and his background is otherwise unknown, except that he has endured trauma that has resulted in him fearing strangers and quick hand movements.  Chopin is an especially attractive Chihuahua, 1 year of age and neutered, good with other dogs.  He can reach his full loving potential in a gentle home with a stable lifestyle routine.

Balto & Danny

Image
Balto & Danny are so bonded they cry and scream if separated even for a few seconds. Together, they smile, and Danny kisses and grooms Balto , and enjoys walking underneath him. Both are friendly young boys. Balto is an Irish Wolfhound (115 pounds), 1 year of age and neutered. Danny is an Aussie Cattle Dog & German Shepherd mix, 2 years of age and neutered. The boys debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA and, needless to say, they need to remain toget her forever. Balto & Danny were found on the streets by a kind woman. Balto was matted and his ribs were sticking out from emaciation. We traced Danny's microchip, but the previous owner declined. These boys deserve better. Please help find them an amazing home, stable and responsible, where they will be dearly loved and always together.
