Camaro is a sporty young boy building confidence and self-esteem.  He is a Queensland Heeler, 3 years of age and neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We don't know what Camaro has endured.

Janie needs you to love hugs & kisses!    Her heart overflows with joy and gratitude for the people who are kind to her. Janie is now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. You may remember from previous posts that we rescued Janie from another shelter in November. Janie gave birth days later, then raised and socialized her seven babies in wonderful foster care. Janie is an Australian Cattle Dog, 1 year of age. She may need to be the only dog in the home, but this is not confirmed. (Her previous intolerance of other dogs may have been related to her pregnancy.) Janie's puppies are being spayed/neutered and prepared for adoption this week.

Zip , 18, overflows with kindness and loves the reassuring touch of volunteers and staff. He is mostly deaf, but otherwise in good condition for his age. (He turns 19 in June.)

He is an especially handsome Australian Cattle Dog, 2 years of age, neutered, housetrained, and reportedly fine with cats and older kids.  Ryder likes most dogs, but his previous owner said he is afraid of dogs with Bully-like appearances because a Bully breed dog once "bit his leg off".  Ryder does not have a front left leg, but he is still very agile moves around extremely well on three legs.  Please ask for Ryder by name when you visit.

Be Mine Cupid Smile Heart Love Heart Valentina Valentino Forever Yours About a month ago a man was in the desert and came upon these seven puppies hiding in a bush.  Their mother, who he described looked like a "dingo", was nearby, but semi-feral, and he could not catch her.  But he knew the puppies would have no chance surviving coyotes much longer, so he collected all of them and brought them to Nevada SPCA. Now 4 months of age, and spayed/neutered, these loving babies are now ready for adoption into forever homes.  We nicknamed them " The Sweetheart Puppies " and they are three girls ( Forever Yours , Love Heart , and Valentina ) and four boys ( Be Mind , Cupid , Smile Heart , and Valentino ). They can be adopted individually, but please consider adopting a pair for lifelong companionship. We believe the puppies will grow to medium size, like their mom (who is likely a blend of many breeds).  Our best guess is they are Aust...

Update: Zeke was adopted on February 2nd! Zeke is an intelligent, noble boy with striking good looks. He is an Australian Cattle Dog, neutered, about 7 years of age, debuting today for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Zeke is well-behaved and knows several basic training commands.  He is reportedly housetrained too.  He is fine with most dogs, especially female dogs, but reportedly can get jealous of other dogs when he seeks attention for himself. He is smart and needs exercise for his brain as well as his body.   Please include him in daily activities, take him for walks, and engage him in playtime. We rescued Zeke from a government shelter that asked for our help because of being so full.  He was reportedly surrendered there when his owner moved and could not find housing that would include him.  (Please note though that many apartments and rental houses are now accepting medium size dogs like Zeke , and larger, because of the economic crisis).

Sadie is very good with other dogs and reportedly fine with cats and great with kind children.  She is also reportedly housetrained. She needed us due to her previous owners' home foreclosure.

She is very affectionate and generally well-behaved, being housetrained and crate-trained, and compatible with other dogs her size and smaller, plus cats too. Mira needed us because she is anxious around young children.  Due to abuse when she was younger, she can reportedly also get anxious around brooms, belts, and strange men in hats.

Her previous owner said that she prefers being in her crate indoors when home alone.

Update: Peter was adopted on December 31st! Peter tries so hard to please and he yearns to fit in and belong, but self-doubt has created an emotional wall that he needs to hurdle.  This is not uncommon with dogs who were denied proper socialization as puppies. Peter is a youngster, 2 years of age, a good-looking Australian Cattle Dog mix, neutered, and very sweet.  He debuts for adoption today. In a foster home he has learned housetraining, crate-training, and compatibility with cats and dogs and mature kids.  He has even had some basic dog obedience training. A gentle, patient home with help Peter feel secure so that his personality can continue to develop.
