Rejection hurts so much.

Update: Lourdes was adopted on July 31st! They absurdly regarded Lourdes , who only weighs 7 or 8 pounds, as 'heavy baggage'. When her previous owners evacuated the foreclosed home, she watched the family load up clothes, appliances, furniture, artwork, books, curtains, beauty and grooming supplies, and even cheap knick-knacks. Yet no room was made for Lourdes . The tiny, sweet girl was tossed in the backyard, and they drove away, recklessly leaving her fate to chance. Just like that, her family was gone for good and she was on her own. Someone with a heart stepped up and brought her to safety at Nevada SPCA. Lourdes is a Lynx Point Siamese & Manx mix (she has no tail) with ocean-blue eyes, and she is approximately 18 months young. She is now spayed and ready for adoption in the free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms at Nevada SPCA. Lourdes never wants to feel lost or abandoned again.

Pretty Boy seeks affection. He will hop-dash to you for petting, as well as for his daily greens. He is a very handsome bunny, an Angora, approximately one year of age.

He needed rescue because his previous owner was unwilling or unable to provide the regular grooming that he needs. Angoras require brushing and care for their beautiful fur, particularly on their underside which can become painfully matted. The tangles and knots have been removed and Pretty Boy again has shining good looks. But it is his personality and love for life that especially make this youngster appealing and lovable.

Left behind but I did nothing wrong.

Update: Hoku was adopted on July 11th! The most harmful myth is that rescue and shelter animals are somehow "defective" or "trouble-prone" or "second-hand" animals. The truth is the vast majority of rescue and shelter animals lose their homes due to no fault of their own. They do not deserve to be homeless or rejected. Hoku illustrates this point perfectly. She loves children of all ages. She is good with other dogs and she is housetrained. Her temperament is gentle and sweet, plus she is loyal and devoted to those she loves. Hoku is a Shar Pei, spayed female, approximately 7-8 years of age. She thoroughly enjoys walks and going to parks. By all accounts, she is a terrific girl with an angelic soul. So why did she lose her home? The answer simply is she did not do anything to cause her to lose her home. When her previous owner decided to move away, she was not welcome to remain a member of the family. This is why animal rescue depends not just on ...
