Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Newman is a confident, curious young boy who adores attention. He is a Netherlands Dwarf & Himalayan mix rabbit, mostly white with some beautiful lavender coloring, neutered and approximately 10 months of age. Newman was reportedly sold at a swap meet to a person who purchased him on impulse without researching bunnies or their care. Part of a racket to make a quick buck, rabbits and ducklings and turtles and other animals exchanged at swap meets are in grave danger of meeting violent ends, perhaps becoming food for snakes, or worse. Newman is a sentient being with a life of his own. He has survived this ordeal and must never again face such reckless treatment. Please only consider him (and any other domesticated animal) if you are willing and able to make a lifetime commitment to him joining your family.

Update: Summer was adopted on July 8th! Summer is a very attractive French Lop mix bunny with an affectionate nature. We rescued her from a family who confided to us that they thought of her as more of a toy than a living being, and they found her care to be work they had not planned on. Like Aphrodite, who was featured previously on this site, Summer was purchased before Easter at a swap meet. Besides gentle touching, she shows great enthusiasm for her daily veggie salads, picking through for romaine lettuce and parsley in particular. She is spayed and ready for adoption today in Nevada SPCA's Rabbit & Guinea Pig Rescue Room. She is approximately 18 months of age. If you are new to caring for bunnies, please visit Brandi and Molina at Nevada SPCA for beginning information packs on caring for rabbits.

Update: Aphrodite was adopted on October 31st! Aphrodite is an outgoing youngster who is fortunate to still be alive. This gentle girl was being sold at a swap meet, just before Easter, to whoever, and for whatever purpose imaginable. Many end up as dinner for humans, or snakes, or encounter an even worse fate. Please alert animal control officials if you find a person selling animals at swap meets. Besides dogs and rabbits, we most often get reports of ducklings, other birds, and turtles in horrendous condition being sold for a quick buck. Oftentimes, officers can inspect the scenes and take action for the animals, plus put pressure on swap meet owners and managers to change policies and keep animals out of the markets. Aphrodite is an English Spot and Lop mix with expressive eyes. She is now spayed and micro-chipped, and ready for adoption. She is approximately 10 months of age.
