We expect you will fall head-over-heels for Baker too. He is a well-behaved, adventurous youngster, an excellent cuddler, and he loves earning your attention. Baker is a petite Beagle, neutered male, one year young, debuting for adoption today. Besides being good with dogs, he is reportedly housetrained and compatible with cats and kind children of all ages. His previous owners surrendered him because they believed he needed more companionship.  They said he adores chew toys, spins in circles when especially excited ("spinnies"), loves being chased and playing in water, and gets car sick easily. Beagle knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred for his adoption.

I love children.

Update: Dakota was adopted on August 19th! Dakota's kindness is readily evident just by looking in her soulful eyes. She is a well behaved, gorgeous girl with an angelic nature. Dakota is a Yellow Labrador Retriever, spayed, almost 6 years of age, debuting for adoption today. Besides other medium and large dogs, she is reportedly compatible with cats. Her previous owner said she likes to try and pick up small dogs with her mouth, but not hurt them, nevertheless it frightens them. She also reportedly travels well and enjoys playing ball. Dakota needed us when her previous owner down-sized from a house to an apartment.

My mom, sisters, and brothers are available for adoption too.

Update: Simone was adopted on July 2nd! Simone is a gorgeous youngster with an outgoing, spirited personality. She is nearly 7 months of age, so just at or past the period of being a "kit" -- baby bunny. Simone is an American mix with grey-blue eyes and a light grey & tan coat. She is spayed and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is a social little girl. Please consider one of her immediate family members -- her mom, 3 brothers, and 2 sisters -- for lifelong companionship. All or spayed/neutered and have sweet dispositions too. We rescued Simone's mom from another shelter. She was pregnant at the time, and soon afterwards gave birth to Simone and her siblings. They have been with us at the headquarters and in foster care until old enough to be spayed/neutered. Simone is one of 75 bunnies available for adoption at Nevada SPCA. If you are new to rabbit care-taking, our staff and volunteers can assist you with information and tips to help you decide ...
