Leona is so adorable and gentle that everyone wants to hold and hug her.  She is reportedly a blend of Brussels Griffon & Xolo (Xoloitzcuintli), 7 years of age and spayed, housetrained, good with other sweet dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Leona is mostly hairless and needs skin care as part of her daily routine.  She needed us when her previous owner became very ill and could no longer care for her.

He was reportedly the victim of neglect from a suspected breeder.  Please help Luigi build self-esteem and confidence. A big sister or brother dog could be wonderful for him adjustment too.

Buggy

Image
Buggy's broken heart is mending and he's beginning to become hopeful again. (His previous owner went into hospice.)  Buggy is a Longhair Dachshund mix with a very sweet and humble disposition.  He is neutered, good with dogs and mature kids, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Tuffy

Image
Tuffy has the presence and confidence of a gentle little lion. He loves people and cats. Tuffy finds great pleasures in life's simple tasks, such as picking out a place to get brushed, take a nap, or perch and survey others in a room. He is an exceptionally handsome and good-natured cream tabby medium-hair with golden eyes, 8 years of age and neutered, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA. Tuffy was rescued from the streets.

Joey

Image
Joey , 9, a noble and poised boy, is wonderfully gentle and so grateful for kindness. Shortly after his rescue (he had been at another shelter and run out of time or space), he greeted volunteers and staff in our courtyard, smiling and running into each person's arms with gratitude.    Joey's body and face resemble a Yellow Labrador Retriever in almost every way, but his distinct ears give him a look all his own. He is neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.   We believe he has the temperament to be great with mature kids.

Bunny

Image
Bunny , 12, takes treats so gently and politely that her mouth never touches your fingers. She is an angelic German Shepherd, housetrained, good with dogs and mature kids, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Bunny likes a relaxed lifestyle with lots of napping. But when the doorbell rings, she springs into action to greet her visitors. She needed us when her previous owners left her behind with friends who decided they could not keep her.

Connor

Image
Connor will win your heart if you let him show you how gentle, devoted, and intelligent he is.  He is housetrained & crate-trained and compatible with cats and dogs.  Connor is a Queensland Heeler with copper eye patches, 8 years of age and neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  He became homeless due to the personal problems his previous owner was having.  Please visit and ask for him by name.

Hamlet

Image
Hamlet , a bashful hedgehog, needs someone gentle he can count on and bond with.  He is approximately 2 years of age and ready for adoption in the Lovebugs Room at Nevada SPCA.  Hamlet needed us when his previous owners moved away without him.

Mary needs a foster hero.

Image
Mary , rescued after fleeing a burning abandoned house, needs a foster home please for approximately 6 weeks. She is very traumatized, but gentle, and about 7 weeks of age. If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Lauren. So far, one of her sisters, Elizabeth , has been caught too and she is safe with us (and we'd love her to join Mary in the same foster home). Neighbors are hoping their mother and siblings survived the fire too and they are working to find them.

Baby bunnies needing nurturing foster homes.

Image
Perry , just 4 weeks of age, is one of a dozen baby bunnies we rescued yesterday from another shelter that asked for our help.    They need gentle, nurturing foster homes please for about 2 months (for socialization and until they are old enough to be spayed/neutered). If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Brandy. The babies love exploring their habitats and chewing timothy hay. We gave them a big, fresh green salad shortly after their arrival yesterday afternoon and they were bouncing in joy and trying all of the different flavors and textures.

Nemo

Image
Nemo yearns to be with someone gentle and reassuring.    While he runs extremely fast when playing, many of his favorite moments are lounging on the couch or bed peacefully at your side. Nemo is a handsome Italian Greyhound, 8 years of age, crate-trained, good with other gentle dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    His previous owners surrendered him due to their busy work schedules. A calm home environment is ideal for Nemo.

Maximo

Image
Maximo , young at heart at 10 years of age, is a gentle and hopeful boy, full of cheer.  He is a Yorkshire Terrier mix, housetrained, good with dogs, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Maximo needed us when his previous owner moved away without him.  Please visit and ask for hi m by name.

Sheena

Image
Sheena is an adorable baby girl desperate for peace-of-mind.    She was found this spring, abandoned in a park, terrified, and she tried to refuse care. We placed Sheena in a loving foster home and she has made some progress with confidence and self-esteem, though she remains timid.    A very gentle home and owner is needed to help her continue improving and reaching her full potential. Sheena is a Chihuahua puppy, 3 months of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    We believe she will adjust best in a home with a big sister or brother dog for guidance.

Candi

Image
Candi is a charming girl with the brightest of smiles. She is a Chihuahua, 4 years of age and spayed, great with other dogs, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Candi was at another shelter that asked for our help. She had reportedly witnessed domestic violence in her previous home. Candi fears men and can get anxious if someone is loud or yelling.    She is accepting the male staff and volunteers who speak to her gently and reassuringly.    A peaceful home environment is ideal for Candi .

Ishmael

Image
Ishmael , the 2nd of the 33 rescued dogs to become ready for adoption, is learning to embrace kindness. Like his brother, Sweet Pete, who was adopted a few days ago, Ishmael is exceptionally gentle and humble. The 33 were saved from deplorable squalor and their previous owner was convicted of animal cruelty. Original post about what they endured . Ishmael is 4 years of age and neutered, a medium-size blend of many breeds (including Whippet, Beagle, Dalmatian, Bully, and more). We are not yet sure whether he is compatible with other dogs due to the horrors and dog fighting he witnessed. Ishmael is emotionally improving so well. He needs to continue gaining weight though and physically improving with good nutrition and exercise. Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for Ishmael by name. His siblings and cousins will be ready for adoption too in the weeks to come based on their emotional and physical healing and spay/neuter surgerie...

I would love to be your lifelong sweetheart.

Muffin is a young girl with a gentle soul and a flamboyant appearance.  She is a Shih-Tzu & Lhasa Apso mix, 2 years of age, spayed, and now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued her from another shelter to treat her mid-grade heart murmur -- she is on daily medication for life and needs a leisurely lifestyle.  Muffin sits in our laps and kisses our chins and cheeks in gratitude.  Muffin enjoys other friendly dogs too and she needs regular professional grooming.  Please ask for her by name today when you visit (new Sunday adoption hours are from 10am-1pm).
