Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Alicia is a vibrant young girl overflowing with hope and joy.  She is a beautiful Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog mix, 3 years of age and spayed, housetrained & crate-trained, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Alicia is fine with some dogs, but people are who she is most interested in.  We adopted Alicia earlier this year, but she was returned for no fault of her own (when her previous owner determined he needed a 'service dog' instead).  Alicia is very intelligent and an active lifestyle routine is ideal for her.

Gigi , a precious baby girl with a loving nature, debuts for adoption today at 1pm at Nevada SPCA. Gigi's six siblings were adopted earlier this week.  Gigi's mother, Janie , is also awaiting a loving, forever home. More information about Janie, who has been posted previously. Gigi is 3 months of age, spayed, and well-socialized thanks to a wonderful foster home.  We expect her to grow to medium-size, like her mother, an Australian Cattle Dog, whom she closely resembles.  (Her father is unknown.)  Please visit at 1pm today and ask for Gigi by name.

Alicia , a radiant young girl, needs someone to devote herself to. She is intelligent, devoted, and athletic. Alicia is a gorgeous blend of Border Collie & Australian Cattle Dog, 3 years of age and spayed, housetrained & crate-trained, good with other dogs, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    She is wary of strangers and needs time to warm to new people.    Alicia needed us due to her previous owner's disability and inability to handle her high energy level.

Honey , a jolly and angelic girl, tries to find joy in every person and activity (hugs, baths, walks, playtime with kids).  She is blessed with the brightest of souls.  Honey is a plump Australian Cattle Dog mix, 4 years of age and spayed, housetrained & crate-trained, great with dogs and children, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She needed us because of her previous owner's allergy.

Molly is bouncing back from heartbreak and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is an intelligent, outgoing, and friendly youngster, a medium-size Heinz 57 with Australian Cattle dog, 2 years of age and now spayed.  At the time of rescue Molly was in battered condition and in peril from complications with her pregnancy -- she was in labor but unable to birth her babies.  We rushed Molly to a veterinary hospital for emergency surgery.  The veterinarians were able to save her life, but her babies had deceased.  We want to find Molly a peaceful, stable home where she can live care-free, showered with love daily.

Smokey has certainly earned a second look, thanks to his remarkable behavior improvements as he has developed with the loving guidance of dedicated volunteers.  This morning he was beaming with the biggest smiles as he played "matador" with a volunteer -- running to her and then past her, and then circling around and doing it again and again.  Smokey is 1 year of age, a neutered boy, an Australian Cattle Dog mix, housetrained, and great with other dogs.  He becomes very attached to those he loves.  Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for Smokey by name.

We named Empress for her polite, regal manners -- which include crossing her paws elegantly while she rests -- and great intelligence.  She is a beautiful medium-size blend of many breeds, likely including Australian Cattle Dog and/or Kelpie.  Empress is about 4 years of age, great with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Her background is almost entirely unknown, except that she had been abandoned in a construction yard with so sign of responsible ownership.

We look forward to the day when Cindy holds her head high with confidence and peace-of-mind.  But she doesn't yet know she is safe, though we suspect she is beginning to understand we will never hurt her.  Cindy is an exceptionally shy and gentle Heeler mix (Australian Cattle Dog mix), about 4 years of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is terrific with other dogs, so a big brother or big sister dog would help her adjust.  At the time of rescue Cindy was found on the Vegas streets with no self-esteem and no sign whatsoever of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not spayed).  Please help us find Cindy a hero.

Chapman, photographed on October 16. Chapman is a bashful baby boy with a very gentle soul and he needs continuing socialization.  He is 1 of 16 puppies we rescued from the desert, born to two feral (undomesticated) moms -- Australian Cattle Dog mixes, believed to be sisters.  (Efforts continue to capture the mothers, who somehow continue to elude both humans and coyotes.) Thirteen of his siblings have been adopted.  The remaining two will debut for adoption in the days to come as they are spayed/neutered and prepared for adoption. These babies have only had human contact for a few weeks, so they are exceptionally shy and uneasy around people.  But thanks to volunteers and staff socializing them more each day, they are making slow and steady progress -- progress that needs to now continue in their forever homes. We believe the puppies will grow to medium size.  (Their father is unknown.) Chapman is about 5 months of age and n...

Margaret glows with love and kindness.  She is beautiful on the outside too -- her appearance is so stunning, turning heads as people are fascinated by her one-of-a-kind good looks.  Margaret is a blend of many breeds, including Australian Cattle Dog, about 3 years young, spayed, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  She is reportedly housetrained and good with kids.  She may be fine with dogs (but reportedly not around food).  We rescued Margaret from another shelter just in the nick of time.  Please ask for her specifically by name when you visit.

Bowie reportedly recently lost his hearing in full, causing him some anxiety.  Hand signals for communication, a stable lifestyle routine, and an understanding to not startle him are very important to help him continue to adjust.  Bowie is a stunningly attractive Australian Cattle Dog mix, about 5-6 years of age, neutered boy, now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Bowie is reportedly housetrained and loves his toys.  An experienced, adult-only home is needed for his continued progress.  Please help us find Bowie a hero.
