Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Betty Grable Jean Harlow Lana & Lavender These four young girls are some of the gerbils available for adoption in Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room. Betty Grable is very friendly and enjoys fastidiously customizing her living areas.  She has a "tree stump" toy house that she loves hiding in and peeking out of. Jean Harlow delights in running in her wheel and hiding tasty pumpkin seed snacks. Lana & Lavender are strongly bonded girls who need to stay together.  Both are petite and like to snuggle together.

Baron Magumi Ace of Hearts Cookie In the spirit of tremendous appreciation to all of you who support animal rescue and adoption, this is our biggest-ever adoption special. Through Friday at 5pm, the adoption fees on all ADULT animals at Nevada SPCA are discounted as follows: 75% off rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs 50% off cats 25% off dogs [The discounts on adoption fees for adult animals are taken off these standard adoption fees: $35 for single rabbits and $50 for a bonded pair of bunnies, $5 for hamsters and gerbils, $10 for guinea pigs, $40 for cats, and dogs range from $75 to $150.  All rabbits, cats, and dogs are spayed/neutered.] Despite the economic crisis, your help with spreading the word about animals awaiting adoptions has resulted in a record-setting year for Nevada SPCA's adoptions.  Thank you!  Forwarding the animals' pictures and stories to your friends, family, and co-workers is making a lifesaving difference for thousands of hom...

We are celebrating our rescue work for rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, and other small animals in the brand new "Lovebugs" adoption room in Nevada SPCA's lobby. Besides hundreds of cats and dogs at our headquarters, we have more than 90 rescued rabbits, 50 gerbils and hamsters, and more than a dozen other species of domesticated animals who had been in dire need. Even if you are not ready to adopt, please visit and we will give you beginner information packs on rabbit and/or guinea pig care and talk with you about making a lifetime commitment to the animals joining your family.

Churchill is one of 14 teddy bear (or "Angora") hamsters available for adoption at Nevada SPCA. He is a plump, curious, and friendly little sweetheart, full of amusement. Many dozens of gerbils and hamsters have already been surrendered this summer, with most bringing them in telling us they just don't have the time for them or the novelty of having a "pet" has worn off. This is heart-breaking and why we emphasize so strongly that adoption is a lifetime commitment to a companion animal joining your family. Prior to adoption, please read about hamsters and their care, focusing particularly on how you can provide a safe, comfortable, and interesting living environment for them. Our staff can also help, so please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for information and guidance on care and adoption.

The relatively short lives of gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, and many other small companion animals help remind us of the value of each day. Adorable little Shakespeare would love to go home with a compassionate person and begin enjoying a new life. He is an adult gerbil, friendly and outgoing. Shakespeare was surrendered to us by a family who told us they just "got tired" of taking care of him. Creatures great and small deserve better than that, as most people today recognize that companion animals are indeed family members worthy of lifetime commitments. Please visit and ask for Shakespeare by name. He is one of more than 2 dozen rescued gerbils for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Stefan is adorable from nose to tail, outgoing and very curious, always anxious to explore. He is a cute gerbil, adult male, about 2 years young. Like most gerbils in good homes, Stefan may live to 5-6 years of age, so please only consider him if you are fully committed to making him a member of your family for his entire lifetime. Gerbils are social animals and they require quality time with you daily . Please consult with your staff if you would like to consider adopting him with a brother for lifetime companionship. Stefan is one of about 40 rescued hamsters and gerbils at Nevada SPCA who await loving homes.

Nevada SPCA is open for adoptions on Saturday, July 4th, with regular hours: 11am-5pm. We have almost 200 dogs for adoption, including Anne (pictured here), who is a very sweet and unique Boxer & Pug mix, spayed female. More than 200 cats are available for adoption in Nevada SPCA's free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms. Throughout July we have an adoption special on adult cats ($25 adoption fees with extra benefits). Please also visit Nevada SPCA's Rabbit & Guinea Pig Rescue Room to meet almost 70 bunnies (all spayed/neutered), and a half dozen guinea pigs, who are ready for adoption too. Other species available for adoption: hamsters, gerbils, pot belly pigs, birds, and a rooster. Please remember that we are also in urgent need of caring foster homes for newborn kittens. Visit the cat staff in the Cat Condos for more information on this incredibly important way to help support animal rescue.
