I am one of 6 Shih-Tzus who became homeless when our owner died.

Update: Tommy was adopted on November 1st!

Tommy's charm emanates from his easy-going nature and innocent spirit.

He is a handsome Shih-Tzu, neutered male, about 4 years of age, debuting for adoption today.

Tommy is great with other sweet dogs and needs regular professional grooming care.

We rescued him and 5 other Shih-Tzus from another shelter.  They had been taken there when their previous owner passed away, and unfortunately, all 6 needed dental work and grooming.  We have provided this care for them -- Tommy had a dental cleaning and 8 extractions -- and they are becoming available as their adoption preparation is completed.

A quick note on dental decay.  This varies with each dog, of course, but we usually do not see this much tooth decay on young dogs unless they are eating a bulk of tablescraps instead of their dog food.  This is our speculation for these six, but we have no way of knowing what their lifestyle was previously like.  So, please consult with your veterinarian about soft food and treats, plus steps you can take for dental maintenance.

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.

Eliza & Hamilton Taylor If you can foster, please visit Nevada SPCA in person before 5pm and ask for Lauren. Many are eating on their own, while others are just beginning to learn to eat on their own. Taylor , a Maine Coon mix, 10 weeks of age, was found crying alone under a home. Eliza and Hamilton , lilac point shorthairs, 5 weeks of age, were found in a backyard and their mother had vanished. Thank you very much to those of you who share these very important posts to find foster heroes!
