Seniors like me offer a world of unconditional love too.

Update: Shorty was adopted on June 28th!

We hear almost every day from wonderful people who have adopted senior animals, most expressing deep joy for their decisions to share their hearts and homes with those who others too often overlook based on age alone.

So please consider the emotional and loving rewards of adopting seniors and special needs animals. Our no-kill work is based on the premise that all healthy, friendly animals (or those we can make healthy and friendly by exhausting all reasonable options) can and will find forever homes.

We rescued Shorty, a senior Maltese, from another shelter. He is a neutered male, sports expressive eyes, and he is approximately 12 years of age.

Devoted and affectionate, Shorty enjoys "shadowing" those he bonds with and being with them as much as possible.

We discovered that he is bilingual -- he responds to basic commands and words in both English and Spanish.

Please plan on regular grooming care for Shorty and budget extra accordingly.

Shorty debuts for adoption today. Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for him by name.

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.

Anna Beanie Little Eric Michelle Nicholas Sisters Anna and Michelle , and their brothers Beanie , Little Eric , and Nicholas , are very affectionate babies who love giving you kisses. We rescued their pregnant mother, a Cocker Spaniel named Mary Poppins from a government-funded shelter.  She had reportedly been bred with a Scottish Terrier.  We placed Mary Poppins in a loving foster home and she gave birth to these five angels and raised them there. Mary Poppins is going to be adopted by her foster family.  Her puppies are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption. Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.
