Mishka

Image
Mishka's cutest behaviors include chasing after golf balls and curling up against your shoulder for naps.  She is a lovely young girl with a calm demeanor and she is ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Mishka is 2 years of age and spayed. She needed us because the cats in her previous home were attacking her.  We believe a gentle home environment is ideal for Mishka .

"The Boston Puppies" need a foster hero.

Image
"The Boston Puppies" -- Tracy and her brothers DeCarlo , Ga ry , and Tom -- need a foster parent please for approximately 5 weeks.    If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for DJ. The babies have been in two loving foster homes already since their rescue. They are affectionate and playful, and enjoy playing with cats. They are about 7 weeks of age. Their mother, Barbie , also rescued, is a Boston Terrier & Chihuahua mix. Their teeth are hurting her and she no longer wants to be around them. ( Barbie will be spayed soon and ready for adoption.) We are hoping for a foster home where all four can remain together for continuing socialization, or at least fostered in pairs of two so that each has a sibling companion at all times. Thank you.

Winston

Image
Winston is tiny (6 pounds), but he has firm and strong resolve to never let anyone hurt him ever again. He may put up a gruff and grumpy demeanor to hide his fear, but it's a pleading demand to spare him further pain. Winston accepts kindness from people he trusts. He wants to love and be accepted. He has enormous potential and will continue improving in a very experienced, adult-only home. Winston is a Chihuahua, 8 years of age, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He may adjust best in a home with a sister or brother dog.   We rescued him from another shelter.

Vader

Vader likes to play ball and be included in family activities.   He is wonderfully friendly and outgoing, a Labrador Retriever, 5 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Vader is housetrained and good with dogs and kids.  He became homeless due to no fault of his own (his previous owners' housing situation).

Cindy & Chevy

Cindy & Chevy , 12-year-old sweethearts, debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    They needed us when their previous owner moved away without them. Cindy is a cheerful, petite Cairn Terrier mix, spayed girl. Chevy is a pensive, bashful Brussels Griffon, neutered boy. Both are good with other dogs.    They adore each other and need to remain together forever. Please help find a hero for Cindy & Chevy .

Erika

Image
Erika's physical and emotional wounds are healing beautifully and she is now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.   She enjoys snuggling close to gentle people and feeling at peace. At the time of rescue earlier this year, Erika had open wounds on her back, shoulders, and neck. Veterinarians believed they were the result of an attack from a dog or coyote.    Erika is a Chi-Weenie mix (Chihuahua & Dachshund), 8 years of age, spayed girl, good with other small and non-threatening dogs.    Please help find Erika a quiet and loving home.

Bella Rose

Siberian Husky knowledge needed for her adoption.

Tina & May May

Please plan and budget for regular professional grooming.

Jules

Image
Jules was perilously emaciated from starvation at the time of rescue, skin and bones and just 4.1 pounds. He was at another shelter that asked for our emergency help.  Now, many weeks later and 7.6 pounds, Jules lifts his head up, kisses people, and he's ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Jules enjoys being held and expresses his gratitude for kindness by looking thoughtfully in your eyes with adoration.  He is a Chihuahua, 3 years of age, neutered, and great with other dogs.

Chandler

Image
Chandler hears "treats" and then you have his full attention!  Treats make him so happy that spreading them throughout the day in small portions will always give him something delicious to look forward to.  Chandler is a super cute and young Terrier & Toy mix (18 pounds), 3 years of age and neutered, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He was at another shelter that asked for our help because he is not leash-trained. Chandler needs patience and kind guidance because objects around his neck confuse him and make him anxious.

Brady

Image
Brady is so light-hearted and agile we keep forgetting that he's not a puppy and doesn't have four legs. He is terrific with cats, dogs, and kids, plus housetrained too. Brady is a Wirehaired Fox Terrier & Miniature Schnauzer mix, 5 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He adjusted to only one hind leg long ago (and we don't know what happened). Brady's previous owner was reportedly very ill and he was being neglected. We hope Brady never loses his puppy-like innocence.

Edward

Image
Edward is a handsome, bright-eyed young boy about to discover what a loving home feels like. Please help him find a hero. Edward and several more dogs were confiscated from a home where they were severely neglected. Their previous owner was convicted. The shelter housing them asked for a transfer to Nevada SPCA for socialization and special needs adoptions. All of the dogs were transferred to Nevada SPCA this week and Edward is the first of the group ready to be adopted. Most of Edward's life has been spent in a kennel while his previous owner awaited trial. He has never experienced a loving home, so he needs your kind guidance and patience. Edward is eager to please, and quite intelligent, so we believe he will continue to pick up more good behaviors quickly in an experienced home. Edward is a Dutch Shepherd mix, perhaps with Belgian Malinois, 1 year of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Loki

Image
Loki beams with hope and good cheer.    He believes in people with all of his heart and wants someone to love. Loki is young at heart at 12 years of age, a Papillon & Toy mix, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    He is good with dogs and housetrained (pads).    Loki needed us due to his previous owner's financial hardship.

Paladin

Image
Paladin's jovial and comical nature is beginning to emerge as he continues healing.    He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to extensive new and old wounds resulting from dog attacks. (What he specifically endured is unknown.) Paladin is a friendly Labrador Retriever mix, 2 years young, a neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    He needs a one-dog household (because even seeing another dog can agitate him and make him fearful).

Gertie

Image
Gertie , a bubbly young girl who likes covering your face and neck with kisses of gratitude, debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a small Chow Chow (believed to be at least 3/4 Chow Chow), 2 years of age and spayed, and good with other dogs.  Gertie was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her severe neglect and inward-folding eyelashes in her left eye. (We had entropion surgery provided for her at a local hospital and she has recovered very well.)  Please visit and ask for Gertie by name.

Perry

Image
Perry and her brother were just found in distress behind a grocery store, less than a day old, with their mother nowhere in sight. Here she is just minutes ago accepting care and nourishment from Lani, a staff member who is now her surrogate mother. We cannot say thank you enough to foster parents who are heroes for newborns like Perry (pictured here) and other fragile animals, and to all of you who support Nevada SPCA with donations of funds or animal rescue supplies.
