Basset Hounds like me need regular ear and eye cleaning.

Update: Duke was adopted on October 16th!

Duke is an exceptionally friendly youngster who needed us when his owners' home went into foreclosure.

He is a handsome Basset Hound, neutered, and 2 years of age.

Duke debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is reportedly housetrained, good with cats & dogs, and fine with kind children of all ages.

Duke's only reported fault is that he must be left alone when he is eating (though we have no reports of biting, nipping or growling).

Food aggression is not uncommon, particularly with dogs who have experienced extreme hunger or starvation earlier in their lives. Consulting a professional dog trainer or behaviorist should be helpful in tending to this behavior.

Duke needs weekly ear and eye cleaning, so Basset Hound knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred for his adoption.

Twinkie is the tiniest of dogs -- only 3 pounds! -- but he has enormous unconditional love to share with you.  He is a super cute, super sweet Yorkshire Terrier, neutered boy, 10 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Another shelter asked us to rescue Twinkie because of his dental needs.  We had his teeth cleaned and he is now ready for a forever home.  An experienced home is required for his safety due to his exceptionally small size.

Bailey is a gentle Cocker Spaniel who was at another shelter with a severely damaged eye.  We rescued him, had his eye removed at a veterinary hospital, and then placed him in a loving foster home so he could heal in peace and begin his adjustment to life with one eye in a home environment.  Bailey is about 8 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He enjoys other dogs and adores people who snuggle with him.  Please help us find Bailey a forever home where he will be cherished and showered with affection.
