Maui

Maui loves jumping in wading pools and splashing about.  He is a remarkably cute youngster, a blend of Tibetan Terrier and Toy, 1 year of age, good with other friendly dogs, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Maui needed us due to his previous owner's hardship. Please visit and ask for him by name.

Dolly & Dudley

Image
Dudley & Dolly , devoted siblings, like to live indoors & outdoors, swim in wading pools, and enjoy their meals and treats in separate bowls.  They are exceptionally friendly youngsters and bonded for life.  Their previous owner reportedly acquired them around Easter when they were babies. Both are completely dependent on people for survival.  Please share their post to help them find a social home where they will get lots of quality time daily.  They are large, American Pekin ducks, bred by some for eating, so their lifetime safety and well-being is of utmost concern when finding them a forever home.

Lilly's beautiful face radiates fulfilled joy, bringing happy tears to the volunteers and staff here who recall her January 14 rescue. You may remember Lilly and her 9 puppies being rescued from a man threatening to shoot them.    Now three months later, all 9 of Lilly's babies survived, thrived in foster care, were spayed/neutered and then adopted. Lilly is now spayed and it's her turn for a loving forever home too. She triumphantly debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Lilly loves leaping in pools to splash about or soak her feet. Please get her a wading pool for endless hours of pleasure and fun. She is 6 years of age, a medium-size Shar Pei & Shepherd mix. Something else wonderful to share! After Lilly's 9 babies were weaned and eventually separated from her at the proper time, she was not alone. We reunited Lilly with her adult daughter, Charlotte. (Charlotte was rescued January 15, pregnant, from the sa...

Gracie, June 12, the day of her rescue.  Gracie , who nearly perished from starvation, has bloomed into a volunteer favorite (they call her "baby hippo") who delights in playing with kids, splashing in wading pools, and leaning onto the people who cuddle her.    Today, Gracie triumphantly debuts for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Gracie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 5 years of age, spayed, and housetrained.    She was captured at a construction site months ago in such emaciated and dehydrated condition that we rushed her to a veterinary hospital for IV fluids for two days. Her veterinarian said she would not have survived another day on her own. Gracie's physical and emotional recovery was helped by time spent in a loving foster home. Her foster dad says she adores people of all ages and can get along with some large dogs (if fed separa...
