Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Update: Ziggy was adopted on July 23rd! Like countless other companion animals, Ziggy was dumped at a government shelter due to no fault of his own. We rescued him from there and he debuts at Nevada SPCA for adoption today. Ziggy is both affectionate and aloof, depending on his particular mood. But Ziggy is always brilliantly attractive, a Longhair Dachshund with a winning smile. He is neutered and about 4 years of age. Dachshund knowledge and/or experience is preferred for his adoption. Ziggy enjoys other friendly dogs and needs regular brushing and grooming.

Update: Ziggy was adopted on August 4th! What in the world was duct tape doing on Ziggy's backlegs? God only knows what this sensitive little boy has endured. At the time of Ziggy's rescue, among his knots and tangles were strips of thick tape and he was very head-shy - so worried we would hit him. But we only have love for this sweetheart, and he quickly understood this and began trusting us. With time and patience in an experienced, quieter home with a stable routine, Ziggy will continue blooming beautifully. Ziggy is a Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel & Poodle mix), neutered male, approximately 3 years young. He is good with other dogs and needs regular grooming care. Ziggy is one of two dozen rescued dogs debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Adopt this innocent boy and ensure he never experiences the darker side of human nature again.

All of this happened to Ziggy in less than two weeks! This is how ridiculous and reckless it often is for innocent animals who are handed away like property without a lifetime commitment. They are in real danger every time they lose their homes. Besides falling into the hands of people who may want them just for breeding or temporary companionship, worse fates are not uncommon. Criminals troll postings in anonymous publications and on anonymous web sites for animals who are then victimized in countless ways (sold to laboratories, used to train other animals to fight and kill, and so on). We rescued Ziggy, so there will be no more playing musical chairs with his life. And in a gentle, stable home, he will develop trust that ...
