Bella Rose

Bella Rose's favorite things include sleeping at your side on the bed, playing with stuffed animal toys, and bonding with other dogs. Thanks to exceptional foster care, she no longer fears violence. Bella Rose is a puppy with a beautiful soul and captivating eyes, 5 months of age and spayed, a blend of Bully and Basenji and more. She is now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. At the time of rescue Bella Rose had a broken front leg. She was reportedly thrown down a flight of stairs by her previous owner (and authorities were alerted). Bella Rose becomes very devoted to those who are kind to her.

Kristoff

Image
Kristoff feels naked today. For the first time in years his eyes are not blocked by matted tangles and the rest of his long and knotted coat is shaved away to give him a fresh start. We suspect Kristoff had not been brushed in more than 5 years in his previous home. Kristoff is a tender-hearted boy, a small Heinz 57 with Dachshund and Poodle, 8 years of age, neutered, good with dogs, houstrained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He needs to know what a loving, responsible home feels like.

Babies just rescued on The Strip

Image
These three baby boys were just found in front of a hotel casino on the Las Vegas Strip. A visitor heard cries of distress and found them in the bushes. Gregory , Nathan , and Douglas are about five weeks of age. They need a loving foster home for approximately 2 months. If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA ( www.nevadaspca.org ) in person and ask for Lauren. 20 more rescued motherless kittens are also awaiting foster heroes today. Thank you.

Sapphire

Image
Sapphire's spirit is renewing and awakening. She is beginning to glow again and the spark for life is back in her eyes. Sapphire is a petite, beautiful tabby, 8 years of age and spayed, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. After surrendered by her previous owners (due to their personal hardship), she curled up in a ball and refused to eat and drink. We put Sapphire in the center foyer for the Cat Condos (a large space for her to explore and roam) and she began showing interest in the world again. She would love a peaceful home with tons of gentle cuddling.

Michelangelo

Image
Michelangelo is beginning to lift his head and hope. At the time of rescue he was at another shelter, hunching his shoulders and keeping his face near the ground, hoping no one would notice him. Quick movements scare him and there are additional signs that he was betrayed with violence in his previous home. Michangelo is 2 years young, a Terrier & Toy mix, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    He is good with other dogs. We believe he may continue to adjust best in a home with a big sister or brother dog.

Mr. Burns

Image
Mr. Burns , dearly loved (and was an emotional therapy dog for) his previous owner and became deeply depressed upon her death. " Mr. Burns " was what she called him and regularly took him to parks because he enjoyed people and dogs so much. He has pulled out of the depression and prances when he walks at your side. He is overjoyed to hear people praise him! Mr. Burns is a handsome Chow Chow, housetrained, good with cats & dogs & mature kids, 9 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. A social lifestyle is a must for this boy please (without long periods of ever being completely alone).

Easton and Weston

Image
Easton Weston Easton and Weston , brothers, are vibrant junior puppies with fun-loving personalities and they debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Easton and Weston are Australian Shepherd & Golden Retriever mixes, almost 7 months of age, good with other dogs, and now neutered. Their previous owners surrendered Easton because he was limping, but intended to sell or breed Weston . We convinced them to surrender both so we could get them neutered and ensure they do not further contribute to the animal overpopulation crisis in southern Nevada.    Easton's front left leg was broken months ago (from massive unknown trauma). Since they did not provide veterinary care for him, his leg bone healed incorrectly. (He walks on all four legs, but about 25% of the time chooses not to put weight on the leg.) Veterinarians say he is not in pain from his leg and recommended against surgery. Both boys are active and sporty. They can be adopted

The boys are now 3 months of age, neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. The kittens were saved from unconscionable horror by a man who heard their cries at an apartment complex.

Egon is fascinated by kitten play-tunnels, Peter is the most adventurous, and Lewis is the calmest and happiest to enjoy relaxation time.

Lexus

Lexus reveals deep heartbreak in his eyes. He does not yet realize he is safe. Lexus is a young Dachshund mix, 2 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org). He bonds well with other dogs and we believe he will heal emotionally best in a home with another dog. Lexus was at another shelter that asked for our help. He was trembling in the corner. He is quite afraid of human hands and feels most at ease when he cannot see our hands. This young boy has tremendous loving potential. Please help find him a hero. Soon he will have a completely new and unexpected perception of people.

Tabitha

Image
Tabitha , a baby girl making an inspiring recovery. She is 1 of 30 rescued kittens debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA! Tabitha was found laying injured in a road. We rushed her to a veterinarian who determined her scrape marks, severe bruising, and other injuries were consistent with being thrown (or falling) from a moving vehicle. Miraculously, all of Tabitha's x-rays indicated none of her bones were broken. We were instructed to give her many weeks of cage rest and therapy. Tabitha can now walk again (with a limp) and she crawls into laps for snuggling. She enjoys being around cats too. She is a snow-white shorthair kitten, now 3 months of age and spayed, ready for an indoor-only, loving forever home.

Everything fascinates her, except for getting her picture taken.    Esther is a lynx point Siamese kitten, 4 months of age, now spayed and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    Please consider some kitten tunnels and a cat tree for endless hours of amusement. Esther was found roaming the streets without her mother. She apparently was not socialized with other cats, so please be very patient with her adjustment time if you have a resident cat at home already.

Newton

Image
Newton , 11, a very social boy, is ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. After his surrender this morning, we became very concerned with his emotional state. Newton wouldn't lift his head and couldn't stop crying. Our cat staff took him to the Cat Condos adoption area and he instantly perked up and he hasn't stopped smiling since! Newton is greeting everyone who walks in and following them around and helping them choose cats to meet and consider adopting. Newton is a Basset Hound, neutered, good with dogs and kids. We want to find him a home where, ideally, he is rarely alone and has the companionship of people, cats, and/or dogs.

Image

She is a Terri-Poo (Terrier & Toy Poodle mix), 7 months of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.     Sky is very grateful for all kindness and she gets along well with other friendly dogs.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety.
