Honeydew, a young Saluki or Greyhound mix and social butterfly.

Image
Honeydew is an adventurous, enchanting young girl with unique beauty and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a large, very slender girl, a Saluki or Greyhound mix, 1 year of age and now spayed.  Honeydew is reportedly housetrained, good with dogs, and so social that only people and dogs interest her (not toys).  She lost her previous home reportedly due to separation anxiety.  We have not witnessed separation here, but her previous owners said she panicked whenever she was left alone.  Our experience is that separation anxiety can diminish with time and patience in a very stable, experienced home environment, usually with crate-training and/or companionship with another animal.

Happy days are coming my way!

Charger has tremendous radiance and seems to have complete clarity that his future is going to be very bright.  At the time of rescue this neglected boy was found at one of the busiest and most dangerous intersections in Las Vegas.  Fortunately, a kind person scooped him off of the street and saved him from being smashed by vehicles.  Charger is a very attractive Lhasa Apso mix, about 4 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is good with other dogs and needs regular professional grooming.

I just can't stop crying.

As you can see, Hugs has a broken heart.  He cannot comprehend why he is homeless after giving 9 years of unconditional love.  His world no longer makes sense.  Volunteers are working to restore joy in his spirit, but his progress will really improve once he is in a stable, loving home environment.  Hugs is a handsome Corgi mix, neutered boy, housetrained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is used to going walking and rollerblading with older kids and he is fine with most dogs.  Please help us find Hugs an amazing new home where his soul will soon be revived.

Please hold me and tell me I am going to be fine.

Poochie feels secure in your arms, grateful for the comfort, and he's likely to sneak you with a doggie kiss every now and then.  He is a cuddly young Terrier mix, 1 year of age, neutered boy, now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Poochie is good with other dogs and he is drawn to gentle people.  Another shelter asked for our help because he was very shy, but Poochie is now building and confidence and self-esteem, thanks to volunteers working with him, and he's making good progress daily. 

I could hear them laughing inside, but they wouldn't let me in the house.

Trixie Rose is an exceptionally affectionate, captivating little lady debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a cream & white Chihuahua, spayed, about 5 years of age, good with dogs and mature kids.  Trixie Rose is very social and enjoys being close to you.  Unconscionably, her previous owners admitted to making her live outdoors only, day and night, which is completely unacceptable.  Please patiently help her adjust to living mainly indoors, knowing she is a cherished and valued member of your family.

Do you like the new me? Will you consider adopting me, please?

We find Rocco to be a remarkably endearing boy.  He is thoughtful and humble, and just so relieved to be cared for and treated respectfully.  He was so severely neglected that another shelter asked for our help.  We rescued Rocco , and underneath all of the tangled and dirty hair, once cleaned up and shaved, was the super sweetie you see now.  Rocco debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a Toy & Terrier mix, under 2 years young, neutered boy, and he is great with other dogs.  We want to find him a terrific, stable home where he is showered with adoration.

Can I give you my unconditional love and expect safety and kindness in exchange?

Nana is a quiet-natured young sweetheart with a gentle spirit and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a beautiful Terrier & Toy mix, spayed girl, 3 years of age, good with other dogs and reportedly housetrained.  Nana was at another shelter and needed our help because she has only two toes on her front left paw (a birth defect).  She uses this leg to help her walk, but she likes to only walk short distances.  A relaxed lifestyle without a large stairway is ideal for Nana .  Please help us find this angel a hero.

Why wasn't I wanted?

Lizzy is a vibrant young 8-pound girl, breathtakingly adorable, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a Shih-Tzu & Yorkshire Terrier mix, 1 year of age, spayed, and good with other sweet dogs.  Lizzy needs regular professional grooming, so please budget accordingly.  Lizzy's past is mostly unknown.  She was at another shelter and had infections in both ears.  We rescued her and had her ears treated.  She is now ready for a wonderful new home and we never want her to worry about becoming homeless or rejected again.

My bruises healed, but my heart still aches.

Patrick's soul is wounded from abuse.  He flinches if you reach near his head.  He has learned, so cruelly, that hands can hit.  But Patrick is also learning from volunteers and staff that hands can soothe and comfort.  Patrick is now ready for a loving, forever home where his progress can continue, and he will keep emerging from his shell as he builds self-esteem and trust.  Patrick is a handsome, tuxedo Bully mix, 5 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued this sweetheart from another shelter.  Please help find Patrick a hero.

She whispered in my ear: "The world is a better place with you in it."

Lilly, on the adoption patio with Lara We wish these pictures could do Lilly justice.  She has hypnotic eyes and the most interesting blue merle & white coloring.  But more important than her appearance is how agreeable and fun-loving she is, so happy to accompany us and play ball and share her bright spirit.  Lilly is an American Bulldog & Bully mix, 3 years young, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued Lilly from another shelter to treat her ear infection (she is now healed).  Special thanks to a group of animal rescuers who offered to pay her rescue fee.  Please help us find Lilly the best of homes so she is never homeless, hungry, or lonely again.

I need someone to believe in me.

Gia's previous owner admitted to neglecting her and not making enough time for her.  So Gia does not have much self-esteem  and she is confused by what people want from her.  But her loving potential is enormous and she will bloom beautifully in a stable, experienced home.  Gia is a medium-size Shar Pei mix, 2 years young, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is reportedly housetrained and fine with mature, older kids.  Please help Gia find a hero who will help her become a well-adjusted, well-balanced dog with confidence.

You're looking at my soul. Please help me.

Many of our volunteers and staff have welled up with tears just seeing the torment in Lucy's eyes.  You know that she trusted and unconditionally loved the people who hurt her, and then dumped her, so the world does not make sense and she understandably feels lost.  We're grateful she is giving humans one more chance.  Lucy so badly wants to believe in people again.  Some progress is being made and she is flinching less when we reach for her.  Lucy is remarkably gentle, despite all she has endured.  She is a small Bully mix, about 4 years of age, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued her from another shelter.  Lucy has come so far and we cannot let her down.  Please help Lucy find someone who will love her forever and shield her from evil.

I am saved! My bright spirit continues to shine.

Lollipop is like an enormous Teddy Bear with a jolly, shining personality and admirable kindness.  She makes those around her feel calm and at ease, which is a tremendous compliment for anyone.  Lollipop is a very plump, 110-pound Retriever mix, spayed girl, 7 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is on a weight reduction plan and this needs to safely and gradually continue in her forever home.  We rescued Lollipop from another shelter just in the nick of time, with only minutes to spare, and she can now continue bringing much-needed joy and devotion into this crazy, chaotic world.  Please help us find Lollipop a lifelong hero.

Open your heart to me and I will reward you with devotion.

Polly was at another shelter, homeless, with very few teeth left, at 14 years of age.  She is an 8-pound angel, capable of tremendous unconditional love, and we are grateful we were able to bring her into the safety of Nevada SPCA.  Polly debuts for adoption today.  She is a Toy Poodle, spayed, good with other dogs, and she needs regular grooming care.  Let's find her the best home where she feels at peace and knows she is loved and appreciated.

I am offering to be your devoted, lifelong companion.

Rocket Man is fun-loving and spunky and he has an adventurous spirit.  He is a handsome Jack Russell Terrier, about 8 years of age, neutered boy, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Rocket Man loves going for walks and he is a volunteer favorite here at the shelter.  He gets along fine with most dogs.  He is on a special diet for food allergies.  Please ask for Rocket Man specifically by name when you visit. 

All of a sudden I was dodging cars to stay alive.

Lucinda is a tender-hearted pup debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  With gentle reassurance, building self-esteem in a stable and compassionate home, she will bloom beautifully.  The world seems like a pretty scary place to Lucinda .  She was rescued near a very busy Las Vegas intersection.  Lucinda is a dainty, pretty Chihuahua, 10 months of age, now spayed, and good with other calm and sweet dogs.  Please help us find her a forever home where she can reach her full loving potential.

I'm cute without even trying!

Petunia is a comical baby girl debuting for adoption today at 1pm at Nevada SPCA.  We love her light-hearted spirit and hope she never loses her innocence.  Petunia is an adorable blend of many breeds, perhaps including Chinese Crested Powder Puff, almost 4 months of age, spayed, and good with other dogs.  She likes to play ball and needs regular professional grooming.  Please be sure to puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety.  Petunia needed us due to her previous owner's financial hardship.

What was hidden under the dirty ball of fur?

Like so many other rescued dogs, Pistol was a big ball of knots and tangles at the time of rescue, filthy from long-term neglect.  Hidden under all of the mess was an angel.  Pistol has irresistible charm, whether looking at you with his big brown eyes, or when he's standing on his hind legs and dancing for attention.  He is a Toy Poodle mix (9 pounds), about 5 years of age, good with other dogs, neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued Pistol from another shelter to treat the sores on his back paws.

Oso, a rescued Akita debuting for adoption.

Image
No longer in pain, it has been wonderful to watch Oso's playful and friendly spirit emerge.  He loves to stand or sit leaning into you for reassurance and bonding.  Oso is a handsome Akita, about 5 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue his right eye was severely bulging and in danger of bursting, causing him great distress.  Akita knowledge is strongly preferred for his adoption.  Please help us find a hero for Oso .

Candi, a young rescued Golden Doodle yearning for kindness.

Image
If self-esteem hinged on beauty, then gorgeous Candi would have a world of confidence. But Candi's previous owners reportedly abandoned their foreclosed home, left her in the backyard, in a state of neglect.  She holds her head low feeling worthless. Neighbors stepped forward to save her. We had Candi professional groomed, as well as spayed and micro-chipped.  She is a Golden Doodle (Golden Retriever & Standard Poodle mix), spayed girl, 3 years young, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The neighbors who helped Candi said she is housetrained and good with mature kids. She is very shy, but she will bloom in a stable, loving home environment where she knows she is cherished and valued as a member of the family.
