Red Rock

Image
Red Rock's smiling dimples and positive glow overshadow the scarring across his body. He shines with hope. Nutritious food has resulted in a gleam in his coat. Red Rock is unrecognizable from his rescue earlier this year (abandonment at a veterinary hospital, suffering from extreme neglect).    He enjoys people and wants to share his unconditional love.    Red Rock is 3 years of age and neutered, a unique blend of Shar-Pei and other breeds, fine with some dogs, awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.    Special thanks to Pet'ographique for capturing his spirit in this portrait.

Alex & Patches

Image
The magical bonds of soul-mates may know no bounds with size, age, or temperament. These two boys are different in almost every way, but Alex is only happy when he's at the side of his much smaller companion. The boys are housetrained, neutered, and compatible with cats and dogs.    Alex is 2 years young, a handsome tuxedo-clad blend of Retriever & Shepherd, shy and intelligent.    Patches is outgoing and confident, 7 years of age, a plump Jack Russell Terrier mix. The boys debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    They needed us when their previous owners moved away without them.    Please help find them a wonderful home where they remain together forever.

We've never known what being loved feels like.

Crystal Norma Stephen Crystal , Norma , and Stephen are three of six dogs confiscated from the abandoned home of a suspected backyard breeder.    These three debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA and the remaining three will be ready too in the days to come. All six were the victims of unconscionable neglect. They are equally surprised and afraid to receive attention and loving care.  They need heroes who will be patient with them and committed to helping them reach their full loving potentials in stable and compassionate homes. Crystal is a Toy & Terrier mix, spayed girl, 3 years young. Norma is a Toy Poodle, spayed girl, 7 years of age.  Norma is mostly blind, so please take very thorough safety precautions for her in your home and yard.

Randy can use his hind right leg, but usually does not.    Please help find him a stable, responsible home where he is treasured and loved dearly.

Dougie, 17, needs a foster hero, please.

Image
Dougie , 17, just rescued and needs a foster home. Please help spread the word for a hero. Our experience is that dogs of his age being surrendered are at risk of severe depression, especially during the first 48 hours. We are very eager to get him in a calm, comfortable home environment. Dougie is housetrained and good with other dogs. He is good with children too, but his previous owners said they did not want the kids to see him die.  (Dougie is not ailing or suffering.)  He is an Italian Greyhound mix, neutered boy, and he likes being held and reassured. If you can help Dougie , please visit Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org) in person and ask for Dwane. Thank you!
