Tinkerbell


Tinkerbell has made breathtaking progress in 30 days, thanks in large part to the triathlon coach, Cyndee, who volunteers and focuses on dogs needing socialization. Tinkerbell, a young, gorgeous medium-size (36 pounds) Shepherd mix is now ready for a special needs adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Tinkerbell is 1 of 7 dogs confiscated from a breeder in horrific conditions. The 7 remained with authorities for more than 18 months while their previous owner awaited trial. Upon her conviction for animal cruelty, the 7 dogs were released to Nevada SPCA for rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption.

Of the 7, Tinkerbell was in the most dire emotional state. (The other 6 are already available for adoption.) On a leash, she was waltzing sideways, too panicked to walk forward. We immediately took her to the courtyard to run and jump, but she instead crawled into a corner and froze there, afraid of all the open space.

Cyndee and our staff gently gained Tinkerbell's trust. She began emerging from her kennel to go for walks and runs with Cyndee. A big breakthrough was getting her to relax and smile so big.

Tinkerbell each day is realizing that a whole new life and way of thinking is happening.

Tinkerbell is compatible with other medium and large-size dogs. She may continue adjusting best in a home with a big sister or brother dog. Please share her picture and help find Tinkerbell a lifelong hero.

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!
