Angel needs a hero.

Image
Angel , 10, asks for a very patient and understanding hero. She is partially blind, reportedly doing better in the daylight and able to go for nice walks, but nearly fully blind at night without bright light. Her hearing is also impaired to some degree. Angel is a petite Yorkshire Terrier, a spayed girl, fine with other dogs and older kids, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. We adopted her earlier this year. She was returned for barking when she got disoriented at night. We believe there are many reasonable and helpful steps that can be taken to help Angel adjust and feel secure. Please share her picture with someone who will be very committed to helping her achieve peace-of-mind during those moments when her sight is mostly gone. Thank you.

Gallagher

Gallagher likes to share his joy. He is a radiant, chocolate & white Corgi mix, 4 years of age, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Gallagher was at another shelter that asked for our help. He has very thin hair, particularly on his neck and back, believed to be the result of malnutrition and food allergies.    Gallagher has already begun some improvement on a premium, probiotic special diet, though there are patches on his body that may not fully re-grow his coat. Please share his picture and help find him someone wonderful and to ensure he never knows hunger, neglect, or malnutrition again.

Louden

Image
33 of the 35 Blond Angels were rescued in April. Two avoided capture and officers feared they would be preyed upon by coyotes on the vacated property and they kept attempting to save them at every opportunity. On May 3 the officers captured McCaine (posted last week) and on May 5 they finally captured Louden (pictured here). Louden is the only non-blond of the 35 Blond Angels. He has mostly charcoal coloration and gold eyes, and he's 3 years of age, now neutered and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Louden is still exceptionally timid, but lets his caretakers handle him without fear of being nipped. This morning he jumped on one of his caretakers' laps for hugs. Everything is new for Louden and the others. They have never known a loving home before and need your tremendous patience as they develop emotionally and adjust to your lifestyle. (Many of the Blond Angels have already been adopted and their new owners report their eagerne

Donovan is a Corgi mix, 9 months of age, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    An experienced owner can help him build confidence.

Kodiak

Casper

Image
Casper , 12, treasures the peaceful and tender moments in your arms. He is a Shih-Tzu, great with other sweet dogs, neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his extreme neglect. We had to have Casper shaved to remove all of the matted knotting.

Amber

Image
Amber is now healed and very eager to love. She is exceptionally friendly and we believe she has the temperament to be terrific with children. Amber , 3, was rescued in January near a busy road with a very deep tissue cut to her left shoulder (cause unknown) and she was bleeding profusely. We rushed her to an animal hospital for emergency care. In the months since she has healed well. Even her scar (visible in picture 3) is now minimal in comparison. Amber is a large Bully mix, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

20 rescued motherless kittens need foster heroes today!

Image
Eliza & Hamilton Taylor If you can foster, please visit Nevada SPCA in person before 5pm and ask for Lauren. Many are eating on their own, while others are just beginning to learn to eat on their own. Taylor , a Maine Coon mix, 10 weeks of age, was found crying alone under a home. Eliza and Hamilton , lilac point shorthairs, 5 weeks of age, were found in a backyard and their mother had vanished. Thank you very much to those of you who share these very important posts to find foster heroes!

Pippen

Image
Pippin , a 7-pound and 8-month baby boy, has triumphantly recovered from severe injuries.    He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his broken bones and soft tissue injuries, the result of an unknown massive trauma (such as being hit by a car). Now healed, Pippin enjoys running and jumping, meeting dogs to play with and people to bond with, and chewing on toys.    He is a super cute Chihuahua, neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety.  

Madison

Image
The calming power of a whisper led to this big, relaxed smile on Madison this morning. Scarred by severe cruelty, Madison fears people want to hurt her. She freezes in place and hopes nobody notices her. But she lets us touch her and sit beside her. When we whispered reassurances that she's safe and never to be hurt again, Madison dropped her guard and her eyes sparkled. Madison is 1 year young and full of tremendous loving potential. She is a beautiful blend of breeds, including Retriever, and now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Please help find her a wonderful, peaceful forever home where she can continue blooming.

Jax

Image
If you laugh and tell Jax he's so much fun, he beams with the biggest grin! He is a wonderfully friendly youngster debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Jax is a Xolo mix (Xoloitzcuintli, or Mexican hairless dog, and much of his body is hairless), 1 year of age and neutered, and good with other dogs. We rescued Jax from another shelter that asked for our help because he occasionally favors his hind right leg. We had an x-ray done that revealed a previous fracture that appears to have healed on its own without proper treatment. (So rather than re-breaking the leg to try and fix it, considering he is not in pain, his veterinarian recommends we disclose the old injury and note that will sometimes favor the leg.)
