Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

At the time of rescue, Mindi was at another shelter and she had been hit by a car.  We took her to a veterinary hospital and her right hind leg was too badly broken to be saved.  But Mindi is adjusting well to life on three legs, living in the moment, now bouncy and peppy to be feeling better and having a fresh start for a better life and future.  Mindi is a 7-pound angel, a pretty Miniature Pinscher, 1 year young, spayed girl, good with other dogs, triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Special thanks to donors to Nevada SPCA's advanced medical care fund for making her rescue & rehabilitation possible.

Bjork is a precious baby girl debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is incredibly cute and affectionate, a small Toy & Terrier mix, about 9 months of age and now spayed.  Please puppy-proof your home for her safety and protection. Bjork is terrific with other dogs.  She is one of a group of puppies mysteriously found together on the streets, none with any sign whatsoever of responsible ownership (all are safe, rescued).  We suspect Bjork needs basic training, so an experienced home is best for her, ideally with at least one other dog for her to bond with as a big sister or big brother.

Golden Max is a sensitive, affectionate, and stunningly handsome puppy now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.   He is a Retriever & Shepherd mix, 8 months young, neutered, and reportedly housetrained and crate-trained.  Golden Max seems to have lost his previous home due to his broken heart. He was reportedly very attached to a small dog who passed away a few weeks ago. Gold en Max then became very depressed and moody mourning his companion.  We strongly prefer placing Golden Max in a home with at least one other dog. Golden Max is reportedly compatible with cats too.  We believe it is best to keep him away from young children until his emotional healing is complete.  Please help us find him a wonderful, loving, forever home.

Chunky Monkey is a big scoop of love and volunteers and staff adore his sugary-sweet personality.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for this very cute portrait to help him find a forever home.  Chunky Monkey is a blue, tan, & white Chihuahua & Jack Russell Terrier mix, about 3 years of age, neutered boy, available for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  He is great with other dogs and reportedly mostly housetrained.

Botticelli is a calm-natured boy with a gentle spirit.  He is a Shih-Tzu, about 10 years of age, neutered, and now available for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Botticelli is humble and just asks for kindness and he gets along well with other sweet dogs.  One of our volunteers found him abandoned in an industrial area of Las Vegas.  He is blind in his right eye and at the time of rescue he was very poor condition.  Botticelli is bouncing back and he is so grateful to be out of the cold and to have a full belly and blankets to rest on.  Please help us find him a hero for his twilight years.

Calvin & Dexter are jolly, attractive, well-behaved young brothers debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The boys are Scottish Terrier mixes, 2 years of age, neutered, housetrained, crate-trained, and compatible with dogs and mature kids. Calvin & Dexter , like the vast majority of rescued animals, did nothing wrong to become homeless.  In this case, their previous owner said she did not have time for them. Please help us find Calvin & Dexter a wonderful, responsible, loving, forever home.  They are strongly bonded and need to remain together.

Atlas is a sweet little ball of dynamite, all wiggly and excitable and full of joy.  He is a beaming Yorkshire Terrier, about 9 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued Atlas from another shelter because he needed dental care (which we provided for him).  He is good with other friendly dogs and needs regular professional grooming.

Buffalo Maggie Buffalo and Maggie are two more of the 28 Boxers rescued from a breeder and they debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org).  (Regional rescue organizations worked together to save all 28 Boxers, 4 of whom came to Nevada SPCA.)  Both are shy, loving, and gentle, and need more socialization.  Buffalo is a neutered boy, about 4 years of age.  Maggie is a spayed girl, 2 years young.  Boxer knowledge is preferred for their adoption.  Please ask for them by name when you visit.

At the time of rescue Reuben was found in the flood basin/wash. He was extremely matted and filthy, but probably just recently abandoned because he would not survive the coyotes there for long.  The physical improvements came easiest -- shaving him completely down and putting him on premium food -- but the emotional healing will take time and patience.  Reuben is gentle, and his spirit is reviving. We look forward to the day when Reuben will be light-hearted and very relaxed.  Reuben is a Toy Poodle, about 5 years of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Lani Que Poncho Three more of the 28 rescued Australian Shepherd mix puppies debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Lani is a girl and Poncho and Que are her brothers.  All three are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and socialized well thanks to loving foster care since their rescue.  We believe they will grow to medium size.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety. The puppies can be adopted separately. In December, Nevada SPCA rescued 28 puppies from one home.  All were placed in foster care for socialization and tender loving care.  They are becoming available for adoption as they get their spay/neuter surgeries. 

Flip is one of seven Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes we rescued from a backyard breeder.  The physical neglect pales in comparison to his emotional neglect and you can see the anxiety in his eyes.  Flip does not yet realize that he is safe, nor does he understand that his value now will be as a loving family member, not a money-making machine.  Flip is a gentle youngster, a chocolate & white Chihuahua with hazel eyes, 2 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Flip is great with other dogs and yearns for kindness and stability.

Crystal & Sugar are delightful young sisters, gorgeous Bichon Frises, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The girls have entertaining personalities and dance on their hind legs when especially excited.  They are about 3 years of age, spayed, crate-trained, and mostly housetrained.  Crystal & Sugar needed us when one of their previous owners died.  The girls are soul-mates and need to remain together forever.

Harry Zorro Abby Abby , Harry , and Zorro -- three more of the 28 Australian Shepherd mix puppies rescued in December -- are now debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. All three are adorable, loving, and playful, thanks to socialization in foster homes. Abby is a girl (spayed) and Harry and Zorro are boys (neutered). They are three months of age and expected to grow to large size. Please puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety.

Candy Kisses Sweetheart Sweet Chocolate Candy , Kisses , Sweet Chocolate , and Sweetheart are the four "Lovebug Baby Sisters" and they are debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The girls are approximately 4-5 months of age, Shepherd mixes, spayed, and expected to grow to large size.  All four are affectionate and playful.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety. The puppies can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting a pair for lifelong love and companionship.  At the time of rescue they had been abandoned in a park.

Xena Yo-Yo Xena and Yo-Yo are precious baby girls debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. They are Australian Shepherd puppies with stunning blue merle & tan & white coloring, about 3 months of age, and spayed.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety. Xena and Yo-Yo have been in loving foster care since their rescue last month (they are 2 of the 28 puppies rescued from one home). The girls can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting the pair together for lifelong sisterhood and companionship.

Erwin & Lincoln are fun-loving, radiant brothers debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The boys are very friendly Chocolate Labrador Retrievers, about 7-8 years of age, neutered, and as handsome as can be. They are strongly bonded and need to remain together forever. We rescued the pair from another shelter.

Dwane Victor Wayne Dwane , Victor , and Wayne are robust baby boys debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. These brothers are the first 3 of the 28 Australian Shepherd mix puppies we rescued in December.  They are now neutered and ready for loving, forever homes. The boys are about 3 months of age and we expect them to grow to medium size.  They are playful and friendly and have had some socialization, thanks to volunteers and a foster home.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety.

Abbott Costello Abbot and Costello are incredibly cute and playful Shar Pei puppies debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The brothers are now 5 months of age and neutered.  At the time of rescue they were surrendered with severe rashes and hair loss, but this turned out to be only food allergies, which is very common in dogs.  The boys are now on a special diet (fish) and their skin and coats are already recovering beautifully.  Please be sure to puppy-proof your home(s) for their safety and protection.  Shar Pei knowledge is preferred for their adoptions.

Dozy's eyes are captivating and this young girl has stolen our hearts. We cannot understand why her previous owner was making her live outdoors, day and night, rather than indoors as a cherished member of the family. Dozy is a beautiful Yorkshire Terrier mix, about 3 years young, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Dozy is loving and friendly and compatible with other dogs.  Please plan and budget for regular professional grooming for her.

Duncan is a luminous young boy with a sparkling personality and the brightest of smiles.  He is an Australian Shepherd mix with stunning coloring, 1 year of age, neutered, good with dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
