Orion

Image
Orion , a bright youngster recovering from starvation, is eager to conquer the world!  He is not much interested in following rules or learning good behaviors, so an experienced home is needed to help kindly guide his bursting energy and enthusiasm into good behaviors.  Orion is a Siberian Husky with stunning heterochromia in both eyes, 2 years of age and neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Orion was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his strong-willed personality and need to continue gaining weight.

Dori

Dori is a gentle young soul yearning for peace-of-mind. She is a German Shepherd & Belgian Shepherd mix, 2 years of age, a spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Dori is good with other dogs and very shy with new people.    She is recovering from starvation and she is blind in her left eye (birth defect or old injury).    We rescued Dori from another shelter.    Please help find a hero for Dori .

Catherine

We are so happy to see Catherine with lots of energy, fascinated by her environments, and restored to a healthy weight.  This baby girl was emaciated from starvation at the time of rescue, listless from lack of nourishment.  Catherine is a Lop mix bunny, now 7 months of age, spayed, and triumphantly ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA in our Lovebugs Room.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for celebrating her recovery with these incredibly cute portraits.

Von, on the road to recovery.

Image
Von is a gentle boy on the road to recovery from severe starvation and eating premium probiotic food.  He has gained two pounds since his rescue and can now debut for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Von may have 7 pounds to go to reach ideal weight.  He was found about a mile from the desert and we can only speculate whether he was starving at a private home or if he was trying to survive near the canyon mountains.  Von is a Shiba Inu & Shepherd mix, medium-size boy, neutered, about 7 years of age, and good with other dogs.  Please help us find Von a wonderful, loving forever home where he will never again experience desperate hunger or loneliness.

Brody

Brody is overflowing with joy, triumphant in recovery, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a handsome Boxer, 2 years of age and neutered.  At the time of rescue he was severely starved in the backyard of a loveless home, denied toys or attention.  In the weeks since then Brody has been regaining weight and energy with a very caring family, and he is now even housetrained too.  We don't yet know if Brody can be around other dogs, but he is thriving beautifully with attention and deserves to know what being a cherished member of a family feels like.

Galahad

Image
Five weeks ago Galahad was at another shelter that asked for our help so he could recover from starvation.  He was emaciated, a Great Pyrenees weighing only 77 pounds.  Galahad is now 86 pounds, his energy is recovering, and he is debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is shy, so a very gentle home is ideal.  Galahad gets along well with other dogs and he is neutered and about 6 years of age.  We want to find him a home where he can continue regaining weight and where he will never know desperate hunger again.

I look to you for kindness and safety.

Fergie is so grateful for a tender touch and kind words of comfort that she will cover your chin and cheeks with doggie kisses.  She is a lovable young girl, a Bully mix, 3 years of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Fergie was found last month in poor condition near one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas with no sign of responsible ownership.  She had missed many meals, so she may have been trying to survive on her own on the streets for some time.  Fergie is protective of food, but this behavior can diminish in time in an experienced home where she comes to understand that she will never again know starvation and desperate hunger.  Please help us find her a wonderful, responsible, loving forever home.

I am back in my prime, shining brightly!

Raven was at another shelter that asked for our help so she could recover from starvation. She is heartily eating premium food and treats and she has gained 5 pounds in the past 4 weeks.  Raven is still very slender, but her progress can now continue in a loving, forever home. She is a charming blend of Labrador Retriever & Border Collie, 2 years young, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Raven is blessed with a fun-loving temperament, a dazzling smile, and beautiful blue sunbursts in both eyes.

I belong in a loving home. Not on the streets fending for myself.

Calypso had been on the Vegas streets for an unknown amount of time and there's no telling how many meals he missed.  But at the time of rescue he was severely underweight.  Calypso is now on premium food and getting ample daily treats, and his weight and energy are coming back.  He is a friendly, intelligent, and devoted youngster triumphantly ready to debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We believe Calypso is a Reindeer Herder mix, about 1 year of age and now neutered.  Please help us find him a wonderfully loving, forever home where he never knows hunger or abandonment again.

I was fading away and thought all hope was lost.

Please help us find Casey a hero.  She was near death at the time of rescue. Her previous owners said she had stopped eating for 4 weeks and they could not afford to take her to a veterinarian.  We had her hospitalized and discovered Casey had diabetes. Now getting twice-daily shots of insulin, she is eating heartily and regaining her strength and will to live.  Casey is exceptionally gentle and she loves tender belly rubs. She is a petite medium-hair tabby, about 13 years of age, and ready for adoption (or long-term foster care) at Nevada SPCA.  Casey loves people and other cats. She asks for so little -- just kindness and dignity.

The dangers are behind me and I see beautiful days ahead!

Reno was at another shelter that asked for our help, in part because he had been found on the streets of Las Vegas and was severely underweight.  Reno is now eating premium food and bountiful treats, and the spark of life has come roaring back in his eyes!  He is chipper and cheery, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA, so ready to join a loving, forever home.  Reno is a Pointer mix, 2 years young and neutered. Squeaky toys are his favorite and immediately get his attention.
