Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Chance now sits close for petting and gives doggie kisses.  He has come so far in his recovery from cruelty thanks to the dedication of volunteers and staff proving to him that people can be kind.  Chance is a Retriever mix with golden eyes, 6 years of age and neutered, housetrained, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please ask for Chance by name when you visit and give him plenty of time to warm to you.

Thank you very much to Ellen, an exceptionally dedicated foster parent for rescued newborns, for creating an online fundraiser specifically designed to prepare our foster program for the many hundreds of pregnant animals and rescued newborns expected this spring!

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're so proud of Hugo and happy to see him holding his head up with confidence as he visits Pet'ographique for brand new portraits to help celebrate his progress overcoming fear and abuse.  We cannot applaud enough the dedicated volunteers who are working with rescued animals like Hugo to prove to them that humans can be kind and worthy of trust.  Hugo looks like a tiny, short-legged deer.  He is a Chihuahua, almost 4 years of age, neutered, good with other dogs, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Claudia is now a radiant girl, a junior puppy, enjoying people and other dogs.  She is unrecognizable today from the time of her rescue a few months ago when she was cowering and growling, head to the ground, found abused and abandoned on the mean streets.  Special thanks to volunteers dedicating their time and patience for Claudia and the others who must be shown that humans are capable of compassion.  Claudia is an golden Heinz 57, just 29 pounds, most likely a blend of Italian Greyhound or Whippet.  She is 11 months of age, spayed, and triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Joyce and her daughter, Leslie, are happy to share the news about Shelby's tremendous progress in his forever home!  You may remember Shelby , a longtime and very beloved resident at Nevada SPCA, working to overcome lingering memories of abuse.  The first two pictures are of Shelby at Nevada SPCA.  His sister is Ginger, a Chow Chow, and they love going for car rides and plead for stops at fast food windows.  Shelby's daily morning routine includes long trail walks and swimming in the river.  Shelby's joy is a testament to the can-do attitude of his new family and the countless hours of dedication from volunteers helping him believe in people again.
