Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Smokey is blooming with new confidence and self-assurance, thanks to the dedication of volunteers and staff bonding with him.  These new portraits of Smokey are in celebration of his progress and to help him find a wonderful, forever home, and they are courtesy of Pet'ographique . Smokey is a young Shepherd mix, 1 year of age and neutered, housetrained, and good with other dogs.  He is still very shy with strangers, but warms as he realizes their kindness rather than intentions to hurt him.  Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for Smokey by name.

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 rescued Smokey in January from another shelter.  The victim of severe abuse and neglect, he had no self-esteem and wanted absolutely nothing to do with humans.  But we paired him with another dog for socialization and companionship, and thanks also to dedicated volunteers boosting his spirits, Smokey has made slow and steady progress.  Today, Smokey is still shy, but he realizes people can be kind, and he debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is a Heeler & Shepherd mix with a cute underbite and expressive eyes, 1 year young and neutered.  We strongly prefer adopting him to a home where he will have a big sister or brother dog to help him keep learning and adjusting and building confidence so that he can reach his full loving potential.

Midnight & Smokey , beautifully photographed by Pet'ographique .  These "Golden Girls" have the cheerful innocence of puppies and we are so eager for them to find a loving home where they can remain together forever.  Midnight & Smokey are soul-mates, girls of 11-12 years of age, spayed, rescued from another shelter.

Please help us find a hero for these angels.  At 11 and 12 years of age, Smokey & Midnight had been discarded at a government-funded shelter where they did not qualify for adoption.  We rescued them and brought them into the safety of Nevada SPCA.  Despite what they have endured, both girls maintain optimistic personalities, always ready to share their bright smiles.  And they love the world since they get to remain together, soul-mates to the end.  Smokey is a Dachshund mix and Midnight is a Labrador Retriever.  With hearts of pure gold, they will surprise you with all of the unconditional love they have to bless you with today.

Update: Smokey was adopted on January 30th! Smokey is a radiant youngster with a glowing personality. He is a Dachshund, neutered male, about 3 years young. Smokey needed us because his previous owners moved into a housing situation where dogs are not allowed. This is such a shame because there are apartments and houses in all price ranges throughout the valley which welcome pets and allow families to stay together. Smokey is compatible with other sweet dogs, and reportedly fine with cats and kind, mature children. Dachshund knowledge and/or experience is preferred for his adoption.
