I am an aquatic boy and thrilled to be swimming.

Update: Phelps was adopted on May 14th!

Upon his rescue from a foreclosed home, we brought this handsome duck in to a protected patio with multiple swimming pools.

Raised with chickens and rabbits, he was not at all fearful of the pot belly pigs and other ducks. His focus was just getting in the water.

We will never forget his initial burst of euphoric joy -- splashing, dunking, cleaning, wading -- completely overwhelmed with fulfilling his nature and being in the pools.

We named this swimming aficionado Phelps, after the swimmer.

He is a very handsome and friendly duck. He even lets the staff members who bond with him and feed him to hold him in their arms for brief intervals. Playfully, he sometimes chases them to demand great attention.

Phelps needs a very safe home geared to the pleasures of a duck, with plenty of places to swim. He is so socialized with and dependent on people that he cannot be released into a wilderness-type environment. Instead, he needs a home where he will be pampered and protected.

Please only consider him if you are knowledgeable about ducks and have a home environment that will keep him safe from coyotes and other predators.

Phelps will certainly provide you with a lifetime of entertainment and fun in exchange for adding him to your family.

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.

Update 2: Jellybean was adopted on November 11th! Update: Licorice was adopted on November 9th! Licorice and Jellybean , brother and sister, are nicknamed " The Sweet Candy Puppies " due to their affectionate, adorable temperaments. They are most likely Retriever mixes and may grow to medium or large size. They are spayed/neutered, approximately 3 months of age, and they debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The Sweet Candy Puppies were rescued after being found abandoned on the streets. Jellybean was injured with a hairline fracture in her right rear leg. We had her leg treated and it had been bandaged and she was resting for nearly a month. She recovered beautifully. Licorice and Jellybean can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting them together for lifelong love and companionship. They are terrific together!
