Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

44 motherless kittens rescued so far today! Thank you very much to all who are stepping forward to foster and to all who are sharing these pleas for foster heroes. If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Lauren. Pictured here are Bitsy , Billy , Becky , and Bobby -- two sisters and two brothers -- who need a foster home for approximately 4 weeks. They are part of a large group we rescued from another shelter that ran out of space.

Ava Becky Chris Deanna At the time of rescue during the extreme Vegas heatwave earlier this month, these four angels were in heat distress and they had been abandoned by their previous owners who moved away without them. All were immediately cooled and monitored carefully, and fortunately, all made full recoveries. The puppies are now spayed/neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Chris is a boy and his three sisters are Ava , Becky , and Deanna .  They are Heinz 57s, adorable blends of many breeds, (perhaps Dachshund, Beagle, but it's really too soon to make a good guess), expected to grow at most to medium size. They are affectionate and playful and terrific together.  Please consider adopting a pair for lifelong companionship. Also, please be sure to puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety.

Update: Becky was adopted on November 11th! Based on the animals being harmed and abandoned, the foreclosure crisis seems to be worsening. Becky is yet another innocent angel who was trapped inside a foreclosed home for weeks on end without food or care or human contact.  She would have perished if not rescued by a neighbor, who then brought her to us. Besides the physical toll, the emotional trauma of abandonment is just as real.  Becky is settling down and regaining her self-esteem, but her eyes reveal great anxiety and confusion. She is a gorgeous young Shih-Tzu with a gentle spirit.  We had her spayed, micro-chipped, and vaccinated.  She is just a year of age and debuting for adoption today. Becky likes other dogs and she needs regular professional grooming care. Please come meet this precious girl and reassure her that you will love her and keep her safe, forever.
