Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Maxine likes resting her paws on people and asking for their praise and kindness.  She worries that strangers don't like her and fears being picked up. We don't know what she has endured.  Maxine is a Spaniel & Toy mix with a shining smile, 3 years young and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  She was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her trembling. We placed Maxine with a confident kennel-mate and she quickly felt at ease.

Maxine is a luminous, vibrant young girl with an easy smile and tremendous enthusiasm for adventure.    She is a German Shepherd & Siberian Husky mix with sky-blue eyes, 1 year of age, good with large dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA . Maxine was found and captured in the parking lot of a large department store. She had no sign whatsoever of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not spayed).    Maxine deserves a stable, responsible, experienced home where she will always be safe and where her play-biting will be corrected.

Update: Maxine has been adopted! Maxine is an angelic, cuddly young girl debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Maxine and her four newborns (just days old) were dumped at a police station in January. We placed Maxine and her babies in a loving foster home so she could raise and nurture them in peace and comfort. Maxine is now spayed and ready for a forever home.  Her babies remain in foster care but will soon be ready for adoption too. Maxine is a beautiful, petite Toy & Terrier mix, 1 year of age, housetrained, crate-trained, and compatible with cats and dogs. She loves to snuggle and play fetch.

Update: Maxine was adopted on July 12th! Innocent little Maxine is a humble, sweet, gentle girl. But she was ravaged by the dog breeding industry, exploited by greed and denied the proper care and socialization she needed and deserved. We rescued her from a puppy mill. And for many months now we have been providing medical care to her so that this special day could arrive -- the day she debuts for adoption. Maxine is a Shih-Tzu, 4 years of age. She is now spayed and awaiting the discovery of what true love and commitment from a human will mean to her life. Maxine likes other friendly dogs and she needs regular professional grooming care. Never in a loving home before, she requires your great patience and good guidance to complete housetraining and adjust to living predominantly indoors as a cherished member of the family. Maxine has come a very long way medically. We had her mammary tumors removed and treated her chronic ear infections. But she still needs daily medication and ...
