Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Melinda , 12, a gentle soul, is adjusting to life with one eye.    (We rescued her from another shelter and her right eye was maimed beyond repair.) Melinda is a darling Shih-Tzu and she is very grateful for all kindness.    She likes other sweet dogs and she is spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.   Please help find a hero for Melinda .

Donald , an endearing youngster recovering from severe neglect, wants to know what a loving home feels like. He is a friendly Shih-Tzu, 1 year of age, now neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Donald gets along well with other dogs.    Most of his coat had to be shaved away (as we suspect he was never brushed before in his previous home). Please keep him on premium meals and treats for good nutrition and skin and coat health.

Tommy is beginning to shine as he realizes that days of neglect and cruelty are over.  He is a young Shih-Tzu, 2 years of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Tommy was found in poor, matted condition on the streets with no sign of responsible ownership.  He is fussy about leashes and worries about strangers. Tommy needs a gentle, stable home where his progress with trust can continue.

Casper , 12, treasures the peaceful and tender moments in your arms. He is a Shih-Tzu, great with other sweet dogs, neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his extreme neglect. We had to have Casper shaved to remove all of the matted knotting. He he has few teeth left and requires very soft meals and treats. After what was certainly years of disregard, please help us find Casper a hero who will pamper him lovingly.

Amanda is still frowning a bit, but sparkle is coming to her eyes, her posture is improving, and she is lifting her head with more assurance.    She has begun to bloom and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Amanda is a Shih-Tzu found in very poor, matted condition on the streets with no sign of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, not spayed).    She is now eating premium food, had vaccinations and a microchip ID implanted, been spayed, and been shaved to the skin head-to-toe for a fresh new start. Amanda is 4 years of age, good with other dogs, ready to finally know what a loving home feels like.    Please help us find her someone wonderful.

Romeo didn't understand why we had to take his picture this morning. He instead wanted us to put him back down so he could get more petting.  Romeo is a bright-eyed, lovable Shih-Tzu, a well-behaved boy debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Romeo is good with cats, dogs, and kids. He is 8 years of age, neutered, and housetrained and crate-trained.  He needed us due to his previous owner's eviction and financial hardship.

Lilac , 8, an extreme neglect survivor, desperately wants to know what being loved feels like. Lilac is a super sweet and humble Shih-Tzu, 8 years of age, spayed girl, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Due to malnutrition, she has hair loss on her face, ears, and most of her body. Please continue feeding her premium, nutritious meals and treats. Lilac is gaining energy, standing taller with her head up, and her spark for life is building.  With continued improvement with her skin and hair, we believe she will be almost unrecognizable in 6 months.  We cannot wait to see her progress, both physically and emotionally. We rescued this sweetheart from another shelter.

A gentle, humble soul asking for nothing but kindness.  Matthew is a Shih-Tzu, 12 years of age, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Matthew was the victim of heartbreaking neglect.  He was at another shelter that asked for our help.  He is partially blind in both eyes, so please take thorough safety precautions for him throughout your home and yard.  We had dental care provided for him and 11 of his teeth had to be extracted.  Special thanks to Hair of the Dog Spa for his grooming transformation. Please help find someone wonderful to adopt Matthew .

Omar , after years of severe neglect, gets a fresh start at 13 years of age!  He is a gentle Shih-Tzu, neutered and good with other sweet dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Omar was at another shelter that asked for our help.  Special thanks to Hair of the Dog spa for shaving away years of filth & knots to give Omar a clean, tidy grooming that reveals his eyes.

At the time we rescued Lady from another shelter, her previous owner had neglected her so severely she could not see through the tangles and filth in front of her eyes.  Hair of the Dog spa groomed her and revealed her expressive eyes.  Lady's "after" picture is so powerful because you can see her full of hope.  Lady is a Poodle & Shih-Tzu mix, 9 years of age, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Kona is a gentle Shih-Tzu and he's adjusting to being blind. He debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA and we ask for your help in finding him a hero. Kona's past is mostly unknown.  He was surrendered to a veterinary hospital in extremely poor condition from unconscionable neglect. Besides matting and other problems, both of his eyes ruptured and could not be saved. Kona is about 6 years of age and neutered.  Other dogs help him feel at ease and move around, so we strongly prefer adopting him to a home where he will have a sister or brother canine for support and guidance.
