Is everything going to turn out okay for me?

Rosie doesn't understand about money and financial hardship, so losing her previous home has confused her and turned her world upside down.  Rosie is a humble, gentle older girl with a very kind spirit and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a Lhasa Apso mix, now shaved to get rid of all of the mats and knots in her neglected coat, 11 years of age and spayed.  Rosie is good with other dogs and reportedly housetrained.  She asks only for love and dignity for her twilight years.  Please help us find Rosie a hero.

A saint who needs a hero.

What better compliment than saying someone makes others feel welcome and at ease?  This is why Zeus is such a magnificent boy, a very convivial and gracious senior.  Zeus is a Rottweiler mix, at least 10 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is exceptional with other dogs and even very shy, insecure dogs can feel renewed and at peace in his presence.  But Zeus needs a hero, because his hips are weak, so walks need to be brief and leisurely, and his bedding very soft and comfy.  Please help us find him a loving home where he can spend his final months or years with dignity and grace, maintaining his bright spirit, which we believe is a blessing to everyone he meets.

They say it looks like I'm wearing a blond mask.

Melody is an elegant girl rescued from the streets, where her chances of survival were so slim because she does not have any teeth left to protect herself.  She is a tortoiseshell with a singular appearance, a blonde facial blaze on an otherwise mostly charcoal head and body.  Melody is estimated to be about 10 years of age.  She is spayed, great with other cats, and she favors toys that dangle down for her to bat at.  Melody really enjoys chatting softly, always greeting you with her pretty voice when you walk into her room.  Please visit the free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms at Nevada SPCA and ask for Melody by name.

I just can't stop crying.

As you can see, Hugs has a broken heart.  He cannot comprehend why he is homeless after giving 9 years of unconditional love.  His world no longer makes sense.  Volunteers are working to restore joy in his spirit, but his progress will really improve once he is in a stable, loving home environment.  Hugs is a handsome Corgi mix, neutered boy, housetrained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is used to going walking and rollerblading with older kids and he is fine with most dogs.  Please help us find Hugs an amazing new home where his soul will soon be revived.

Is it wrong to want to feel pretty?

What was this tiny, 4-pound angel, at 14 years of age, doing all alone near one of the busiest boulevards in all of Las Vegas with no sign of responsible ownership?  We named her Buffy and she is a chocolate Chihuahua, spayed girl, good with other calm dogs.  Buffy loves being pampered!  When you fuss on her and give her tender care she feels reassured that she is safe. 

I may be 10 years old, but I have the innocence of a baby.

Lucy likes to greet new people by gently licking their hand and then sharing her luminous smile.  She is a Rottweiler, 10 years of age, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is 73 pounds of unconditional love!  Much of her past is unknown.  Lucy was surrendered to another shelter when her previous owners moved away.  Will you please help us find Lucy the best of homes so that she never faces rejection again?

Open your heart to me and I will reward you with devotion.

Polly was at another shelter, homeless, with very few teeth left, at 14 years of age.  She is an 8-pound angel, capable of tremendous unconditional love, and we are grateful we were able to bring her into the safety of Nevada SPCA.  Polly debuts for adoption today.  She is a Toy Poodle, spayed, good with other dogs, and she needs regular grooming care.  Let's find her the best home where she feels at peace and knows she is loved and appreciated.

I don't feel naked. I feel reinvigorated.

Baxter is a gentle giant, an 18-pound lovebug compatible with kids and dogs, and he's great with other cats.  We love his easy-going temperament.  Baxter is an orange tabby, reportedly 12 years of age, neutered boy, previously declawed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  His previous owners surrendered him right before they moved and he was in terrible, matted condition.  As you can see, we had to have him shaved to the skin for a fresh start.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for capturing his incredibly sweet spirit in this portrait to help him find a responsible, stable, loving, forever home.

I thought I was their baby too.

Milo is very docile and gentle.  He is so confused by why he lost his home when his previous owners had a baby.  He thought he was their baby too.  Volunteers and staff are showering him with attention, which he craves, telling him that he'll soon be in a wonderful new home.  Milo is a good-looking Cocker Spaniel, 10 years of age, neutered boy, good with other dogs, housetrained, crate-trained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

I'll always be your baby if you love me.

Bobby is proof that a baby can be any age and that sweetness is timeless.  He may be 13 years of age and only have 2 teeth left, but we think he's perfect.  Bobby is a gentle Pomeranian, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We rescued Bobby from another shelter.  He had been taken there when his previous owner died.  Please help share Bobby's pictures and help him find a hero.

I am not trash.

Mr. Foster is a polite, refined, and mature gentleman who would love to become your household butler.  He is a tuxedo-clad shorthair, 10 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Mr. Foster gets along well with other cats and asks humbly for so little, just love and peace and comfort and fresh food & water.  He was almost the victim of unconscionable tragedy.  A volunteer found him crying in a crate at the foot of a large dumpster.  Please help us find Mr. Foster the loving home he deserves, assuring him that he can avoid human evil from hereafter.

Can you see my goodness?

Shadow is a cheerful and exceptionally good-natured senior full of optimism and joy.  He enjoys children, dogs, and cats, plus he is housetrained and crate-trained too.  Shadow loves toys that look like turtles.  He is a medium-size Shepherd & Retriever mix, 12 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Along with his eternal gratitude, there are rich emotional rewards that can come with adopting senior animals, who have just as much unconditional devotion to share with you as a puppy.

Does anyone want me?

Colleen is a very kind, gentle soul with a peaceful spirit and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a Longhair Dachshund mix, about 11 years of age, spayed girl, and she gets along very well with other sweet dogs.  Colleen's past is mostly unknown.  Her previous owner passed away and she was taken to a government-funded shelter.  The surviving family did not reclaim her.  Nevada SPCA was asked to take her and find her a calm, loving home environment for her twilight years.  Please help Colleen by sharing her picture. 

Do you have any kindness for me?

Tanka is an easy-going older boy who loves to gently chat with you and express his love for his wet food.  He is a noble Lynx Point Siamese, about 12 years of age, neutered, good with other cats, and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tanka is blind in his left eye (birth defect) and at the time of rescue he was found unexpectedly in someone's garage, looking for warmth and shelter.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for this handsome portrait to help Tanka find a loving, forever home.

Do I dare believe that I am about to finally find love and adoration?

Fluffy was found running scared near one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas. It was clear he had been neglected for years and his teeth were rotten.  Fluffy is now shaved and his teeth have been pulled.  Some sparks of hope are coming into his eyes and he is gaining weight steadily with soft food and treats.  Fluffy is a very gentle Toy Poodle, about 10 years of age, neutered boy, debuting triumphantly for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is on daily medication for a heart murmur and needs a calm lifestyle routine.  Please help him find a hero.

Will you restore my faith in humans?

Botticelli is a calm-natured boy with a gentle spirit.  He is a Shih-Tzu, about 10 years of age, neutered, and now available for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Botticelli is humble and just asks for kindness and he gets along well with other sweet dogs.  One of our volunteers found him abandoned in an industrial area of Las Vegas.  He is blind in his right eye and at the time of rescue he was very poor condition.  Botticelli is bouncing back and he is so grateful to be out of the cold and to have a full belly and blankets to rest on.  Please help us find him a hero for his twilight years.

Where do I go now?
