Slylock Fox

Image
Slylock Fox is a young sweetheart, a junior puppy, weighing only 6 pounds.   He is a blond Chihuahua, 10 months of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  A family found him abandoned in their backyard with no sign of responsible ownership.  We love his fox-like appearance and polite mannerisms.  Please take thorough safety precautions for Slylock Fox throughout your home and yard due to his diminutive size.

Charlotte's sons are ready for adoption.

Image
Ferris Hoyt Ian Kyle Lance   Charlotte's sons -- Ferris , Hoyt , Ian , Kyle , and Lance -- debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Wonderfully socialized and raised in a foster home since birth, the boys are very loving and give puppy kisses. They are 3 months of age and neutered. Their mother, Charlotte, is a medium-size blend of many breeds, including Shar Pei. Their father is unknown. (We know the identity of their grandmother, Lilly, who was also rescued in January and adopted last week, a Shar Pei mix.) Charlotte was pregnant at the time of rescue. Her previous owner was threatening to shoot her (and Lilly and Lilly's newborns, all of who survived).    Charlotte was immediately placed in a very caring foster home and gave birth about a week later. Here are pictures of Charlotte and much more detail. [Charlotte will soon be spayed and ready for adoption too.]

Plea for foster heroes!

Image
Amorette ("little love") and her two siblings need a nurturing foster home please. They are just days old, found abandoned and motherless in a cardboard box in the courtyard of an apartment complex. They need bottle-feeding for a few weeks, then several more weeks of loving foster care, for a total foster commitment of approximately 12 weeks. If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Lauren. Please consider sharing this post to help find foster heroes. Motherless newborns are being rescued daily and need emergency tender care. Thank you.

Hadiya

Image
Hadiya ("gift"), 13, is a regal, wise girl needing a very peaceful home.  She is a Savannah, spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Hadiya likes gentle cuddling, but prefers not being picked up.  Other cats agitate her and she would like a home where she could have her own room or be in a one-cat household.  We rescued Hadiya from another shelter that asked for our help after she was confiscated from an animal center last week.

Juliette

Image
Juliette feels unworthy of love and doesn't yet know she is safe. She is beginning to lift her head when we talk sweetly to her. At the time of her rescue from another shelter she was holding her head down hoping no one would notice her. Juliette is a docile Cocker Spaniel, 5 years of age and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Please praise her every day and help her understand that she is a treasure and worthy of immense, lifelong love.

Jennifer

Image
Jennifer , a peppy baby girl, loves snuggling as much as playing, and could not possibly be any cuter or sweeter.  She is a Toy & Terrier mix puppy, 4 months of age, good with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. Jennifer was found near The Strip with no sign of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not spayed).  She is ready for a stable home where she will be dearly cherished and kept safe.

Bradford & Lyndon

Image
Bradford Lyndon Bradford & Lyndon get endless hours of pleasure with hammocks, toy tunnels, and mini mazes.  They are intelligent young boys, bonded for life, about 10 months of age. Bradford is an Agouti rat and Lyndon is a blond Dumbo rat.  The boys are ready for adoption in the Lovebugs Room at Nevada SPCA.  They are 2 of the 20 rats we rescued from another shelter that asked for our help after they were seized from an animal center last week.  Please help us find them a home where they will continue to be safe and respected.

Trudy

Image
Trudy cannot hear you reassure her, so your actions, touch, and body language are critical in helping her feel secure.  She is a Malti-Poo, 6 years of age and spayed, good with other calm dogs, deaf, and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Trudy gets anxious about her face being touched unexpectedly or if she thinks a child is going to try and pick her up. A very gentle and peaceful home environment with a steady routine is ideal for her.

Ryker

Image
Ryker is a sensitive young boy who becomes very devoted to the people he bonds with.    He is a stunning Great Dane, 2 years of age, housetrained, good with older kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Ryker has two special needs at the moment. First, he doesn't seem to know that he is 100 pounds and intimidating. When he sees someone with a treat he becomes very boisterous. Second, he is wary of strangers and doesn't instantly accept new people. Ryker likes trust to be earned.    So he needs a very experienced owner please with Great Dane knowledge please. Ryker needed us when his previous owners moved overseas.

Michelle

Image
Michelle , dainty and adorable, loves snuggling and being the center of attention.  She is a blue & cream (dilute tortoiseshell) shorthair, 2 years of age, now spayed and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Michelle and her babies were rescued after their previous owner moved away without them. ( Michelle's babies are doing well in foster care and they will be ready for adoption in the days and weeks to come.)

Chen

Image
Chen lyrically says "pretty bird" as her most common call sound.  She is a Mikado pheasant and she is exceptional with birds and other animals. But Chen prefers people to keep their distance and not try to pick her up.  We want to find her an experienced home where she will be safe and respected and around birds and other animals for companionship.  She is ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued Chen from another shelter that asked for our help after she was seized from an animal center last week.

Hansel needs a foster hero.

Image
Hansel is 1 of the 33 Blond Angels rescued last week from a severely neglectful home (and whose previous owners have been convicted of animal cruelty). Hansel and the others are extremely timid and need foster heroes to help socialize them before they are spayed/neutered and then ready for adoption. Hansel flinches when first touched. Being petted is a new experience and he doesn't understand why people want to touch him. He is 1 year of age, and like the other Blond Angels, a mix of White Shepherd and Yellow Labrador Retriever. Very experienced foster parents are needed please. If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Dwane. Thank you. More details about fostering the Blond Angels .

Please help us find them a hero.

Fellini and Fiji

Image
Fellini enjoys being held and carried. Once he feels familiar with you, he likes to sit on your shoulder. Fellini is a young green iguana, 1 year of age, approximately 2 feet long. We rescued him yesterday from another shelter that asked for our help after he had been seized from an animal center earlier in the week.    Fellini is in fair condition and will continue improving with nutritious meals and other proper care. An experienced and knowledgeable owner for him is needed.    Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for Fellini by name. Fiji , a baby iguana, also debuts for adoption today.  She (it's too early to determine gender with certainty) is very shy and needs a gentle touch and patience.   Fiji was rescued from the same place and in the same manner as Fellini.
