Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Angelica , transformed emotionally and physically, is a longtime resident ready to love someone dearly forever.    While her physical improvement has been gradual (weight loss on premium food), her emotional improvement appeared to be overnight. Before, she was terrified of her caretakers. Now, suddenly, she cannot get enough hugging and cuddling! Angelica is a snow-white Chihuahua with cream color splotches on her back. She is 7 years of age, spayed, housetrained, good with dogs, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.    Angelica needed us when her previous owners moved away without her and she had a very difficult time handling the trauma of the abandonment.

Angelica's special needs in no way diminish the love she is offering to the hero who adopts her.  She is a Toy Fox Terrier, 1 year of age, compatible with other small dogs.  Whether the result of birth defect or early life trauma, Angelica's neurological system is unique and she is partially blind and unable to walk in a straight line.  She calms when you cradle her and enjoys playing with toys that make crunchy sounds when she chews on them.  Angelica can walk in circular motions and quickly learns new rooms and adjusts to them well.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for showcasing Angelica so beautifully in these portraits.  Please ask for DJ when you visit Nevada SPCA for special assistance with Angelica .
