Rocky

Image
Rocky , 10, a gentle soul, wants to know who he can love. He is a Miniature Schnauzer with teddy bear-like good looks, a neutered boy, housetrained & crate-trained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . Rocky bonds well with other dogs and likes to lick their faces. He needed us due to his previous owner's hardship.

Pearl

Image
Pearl , 12, so precious and loving, is recovering well from severe neglect and ready for her fresh start.  She is a Miniature Schnauzer with enormous love and gratitude to share.  Pearl is great with other dogs, housetrained & crate-trained, fine with older kids, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  She needed us when her previous owners moved away without her.  Pearl was in very poor condition at the time of rescue. Since then we put her on a premium probiotic food plan, groomed her, and had her back wound repaired (and growth removed).  Please give this sweetheart senior your consideration.

Poppy

Image
Even groomed, Poppy's hair had fun in the great winds today sweeping through Las Vegas. He didn't mind a bit because being held and praised is his top comfort.  Poppy is a gentle "Schnoodle" (Miniature Schnauzer & Poodle mix), 7 years of age and neutered, housetrained & crate-trained, good with dogs and older kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Poppy needed us due to his previous owners' financial hardship.

Paris

Image
Paris shines when he feels safe.    He is a very attractive American Eskimo Dog, 3 years young, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. We rescued Paris from another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity.    He fears that strangers are going to try and hurt him. Trust takes time, especially with men.    Paris enjoys walking close beside the people he bonds with.

Clyde

Image
Clyde , 14, beams with hope and revels in all of the care and attention he's getting.  An American Eskimo Dog mix, suspected of being severely neglected for many years, he was confused why we were doting on him and brushing him.  Clyde has now had dental care and grooming and he's ready to finally know what a loving home feels like. He is good with other dogs, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Buffy

Image
Buffy , bubbly and irresistible, is a vibrant baby girl with a playful spirit.    She is a Miniature Schnauzer & Toy mix, 6 months of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Buffy is housetrained, crate-trained, and good with dogs and mature kids.    Her previous owner surrendered her and cited "no room" for her as the reason.    Please visit and ask for Buffy by name.

Flipper

Image
Flipper , 10, an intelligent and joyful boy, eagerly awaits someone to love with all of his heart. He is a Lhasa Apso, housetrained, good with kids and dogs, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    We rescued Flipper from another shelter that asked for our help (for a dental cleaning, which we provided for him).    Flipper needs daily eye-drops.    Please help find him a wonderful home.

Monroe

Image
Monroe , 2, at the time of rescued from another shelter, was so painfully matted that he didn't want to be touched. Further, his vision was completely obstructed by knotted tangles crusted over his face. We shaved Monroe and discovered the warmest, wisest eyes! He is a 12-pound blend of Poodle, Terrier, and Toy breeds, neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Now that the knots are gone he is less afraid of being touched. Monroe is shy and likes being with soft-spoken, gentle people.

Zeke

Image
Zeke , 4, becomes a bit more puppy-like and jovial each day, which is beautiful to witness as he reaches his loving potential. At the time of rescue his underbelly was so painfully matted he yelped if your hands got close to the knots. Now, the mats are gone, but he remembers how much it used to hurt and prefers not having his stomach touched. Zeke is a chipper boy, a blend of many attractive breeds (likely Akita, Aussie, Shepherd, more), 4 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.   He accepts some dogs, but he is very picky about which dogs he likes and so a one-dog household may be ideal for Zeke .

Galadriel

Image
Galadriel , 9, in the midst of a life-changing transformation, continues to make admirable improvement with trust. The victim of very severe neglect and abuse, she is now unrecognizable from the matted and filthy condition she was in at the time of rescue from the streets. She is now groomed, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, teeth cleaned, microchipped, eating premium food, and bonding with other rescued dogs. Galadriel is a Poodle & Shih-Tzu mix debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org). She is photographed in a blanket because she is not used to being picked up and she felt more secure wrapped in a covering. Galadriel's physical improvements are going well, but her emotional healing will take much longer. Please help find someone wonderful for her.

Trevor

Image
Trevor wants to you know that you approve of him. He looks at you closely, with such longing, and feels better when he hears you say all is well and he's safe.  Trevor is an endearing Cocker Spaniel, 9 years of age and neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued him from another shelter that asked for our help with his ear infections and dental needs. Trevor is healed and feeling better, and ready to bless someone with unconditional love.

Before & After -- Virtue

Image
Virtue, now healing. Virtue, day of rescue. Virtue is now shaved down, eating premium food, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. Emotionally though, her healing will take much, much longer.    In addition to the extreme neglect, Virtue reportedly witnessed horrors that have traumatized her and resulted in a deep fear of people. Virtue is a Maltese & Toy Poodle mix, 8 years of age, and debuting for a hero adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    She is compatible with cats and dogs (and we believe she is likely to adjust best in a home with a big sister or brother dog).    When very fearful, she is nippy, so an experienced, adult-only home is essential for her continued progress.

Tara

Image
Tara yearns for kindness. She is becoming more hopeful every day, overcoming challenges from her past, and she's ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Tara is a large Tibetan Terrier mix (42 pounds), 5 years of age, spayed, and housetrained.    She gets along well with other dogs, if fed meals and treats when she is separated from them.    Tara was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her timidity.    She is recovering from severe abuse and neglect. Very experienced, adult-only home needed to help her continue improving and reaching her full loving potential.

Bobby -- Before & After

Image
Bobby , a young Toy Poodle mix, has been holding his head up since his grooming at Hair of the Dog spa , underlining the emotional impact that cleaning and tender care provides.  We soon hope to see Bobby smiling, with sparks of hope in his eyes.  He is a very gentle boy, 3 years of age, good with dogs, and now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue Bobby was found with no sign of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not neutered).

Velvet's beautiful recovery.

Image
Velvet's nightmare is over and her future will be so full of love and adoration that it is beyond her comprehension.  Velvet was found in downtown Vegas in shockingly atrocious condition.  Besides extreme filth and matting and emaciation, her head was shaking in pain from a severe ear infection and her left eye was missing.  Now cleaned, groomed, medicated, eating premium food, and comforted by volunteers, she is recovering beautifully.  Velvet is a gentle Lhasa-Poo, 3 years of age, good with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please help find Velvet a hero who will ensure she never knows disregard or cruelty again.

What does a loving home feel like? Will all my worries go away?

Image
Tony wants to know what a loving home feels like.  Just as his picture was being taken we were telling him how happy he is going to be and that he has to keep up his spirits.  Tony is a thoughtful young Pomeranian & Shiba Inu mix, 2 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tony likes other gentle dogs.  At the time of rescue he was at another shelter with small leg wounds consistent with bites from another animal.  Tony is healing well and now ready for a wonderful, forever home.

Felicia, a Toy Poodle recovering well from a terrible trauma.

Image
At the time of rescue Felicia had been inside her home with her deceased owner for several days.  She was in poor condition from trauma and hunger and confusion.  You can still see pain and anxiety in her eyes, but Felicia is improving and stabilizing, now groomed and eating premium food and being reassured by volunteers and staff.  Felicia is a tender-hearted Toy Poodle, just under 10 pounds, about 7 years of age, a spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She will do best in a gentle home environment and she is compatible with other sweet dogs.

Empress, a rescued Collie recovering from starvation.

Image
Empress is an exceptionally gentle girl debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is a Collie with majestic beauty, approximately 6 years of age and spayed, and compatible with most dogs. At the time of rescue earlier this summer Empress was emaciated from starvation.  Her previous owner said he and Empress were living on the streets out of a shopping cart and he couldn't feed her. Empress has since been steadily regaining weight and energy, plus we had her teeth cleaned. Please help us find her a very loving, stable, forever home.

Will my broken heart mend?

Image
Magellan is a thoughtful young boy and he must wonder why life has been harsh and unjust to someone so kind.  At the time of rescue he was at another shelter and suffering from an ear infection.  Magellan is now well and we hope he soon realizes that he is safe and can expect a bright, loving future.  He is a good-looking Tibetan Terrier mix, 2 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Magellan enjoys other dogs and needs regular professional grooming.  A gentle, stable home is ideal for this bashful boy.

I will never take kindness, love, or a nourishing meal for granted.

Pompadour is a baby boy on the rebound, a sweetheart puppy who is beginning to understand that better days are ahead. He was found on the streets of Las Vegas in poor condition with no sign of responsible ownership. But Pompadour is now neutered, up-to-date on shots, microchipped, and eating premium probiotic food. He is a Cairn Terrier & Miniature Schnauzer mix puppy with a cute blue sunburst in his right eye, about 6 months of age, good with other dogs, and ready for for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety and plan on regular professional grooming.
