Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

  Thank you to Ernie's mom, Veronica, for sharing these great pictures: "Buddy has brought so much love and joy to my life and my mom's and brothers. I love him so much and can't imagine my life without him. He truly is a part of the family! Everybody loves him and thinks he is so cute!"

Buddy, baby boy Heathcliff, baby boy Rayne, baby boy Sunshine, baby girl Buddy , Heathcliff , Rayne , and Sunshine are four of the rescued kittens ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  All four are sporty & acrobatic, playful and good with people and cats, 3 months of age and spayed/neutered.  Please kitten-proof your home for their safety.  Buddy was found on the streets, Heathcliff came from another shelter, and Rayne and Sunshine were born in a foster home caring for a pregnant cat.

Every quality day is precious. Buddy , 10, is a charming Rottweiler asking for a hospice foster home.    If you can help him, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for DJ. Buddy is friendly with kids and housetrained. He is picky about dogs, but becomes very devoted to the dogs he adores and showers them with licking and grooming to keep their faces clean. We rescued Buddy from another shelter that asked for our help. Veterinarians determined he has inoperable cancer in his chest. He is not suffering. Buddy can love and share his joy -- which may be for weeks, or months, perhaps longer -- while his quality of life remains. Please help find a hero for Buddy .

Buddy would love to be your most devoted, gentle companion.  He looks at you, his eyes full of love and admiration, and he softly talks with you throughout the day as he listens to your thoughts and feelings.  Buddy is a 16-pound sweetheart, 13 years of age, a neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. His form of diabetes is managed well with a special diet -- which will be supplied to his adopter in abundance -- instead of insulin shots.  Buddy needed us due to his previous owners' declining health.  Please help him find a hero for his twilight years.

Update: Buddy was adopted on January 13th! Buddy's previous owners loved him, but they became homeless and had to live out of a car.  They did not want to give him up, especially because of his older age (10 years), but they wanted him to have a chance for a better life. Buddy is a sweet, rustic, friendly trooper, still with lots of zip. He is a Yorkshire Terrier, neutered boy, and he debuts for adoption today. Buddy delights in loving people and engaging other dogs, and he is reportedly compatible with cats too.  Please plan on regular grooming care for him. There are deep, untold emotional rewards that come with adopting seniors.  Every day of life is precious and seniors have just as much unconditional love to share as puppies and youngsters.

Update: Buddy was adopted on September 7th! Buddy's floppy little round ears seem to fit his character. He really enjoys adoration, content to snuggle in your lap and soak up your undivided attention. Buddy is a snow white medium-hair, perhaps with a bit of Persian, with light green eyes. He is neutered and about 5 years of age. Buddy's previous owner passed away. It was the deceased's wish that Buddy and 4 other cats come to Nevada SPCA in the event of death or emergency. He needs regular brushing, at least once or twice weekly. Like all cats, Buddy needs to be safely and strictly indoors for his safety and protection. Please Nevada SPCA's free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms and ask for Buddy by name.

Update: Buddy was adopted on February 13th! Buddy is a very sweet, wiggly, cheerful youngster debuting for adoption today. His angelic smile makes your heart flip-flop. Buddy is a Heinz 57, unique as all mixed breeds are, with Shepherd and Retriever, and a handsome brown widow's peak on his forehead. He is neutered and just over 2 years of age. He loves everyone -- cats, dogs, children, and adults. Plus, he is housetrained too (with a doggie door). Buddy needed us when his previous owner moved out of the country.

Update: Buddy was adopted on January 16th! Buddy's zeal for life and good cheer is contagious. He can walk into a room and put a smile on every face. This fun-loving boy is a Yellow Labrador Retriever, neutered, just under 4 years of age. Because of a microchip ID that traced back to us (from his adoption in 2006), we were notified that Buddy had landed in a government shelter in California and had limited time. Attempts to contact his adopter failed, so we scrambled to find a volunteer who could save him and return him to Nevada SPCA. The close friend of one of our staff who lives in California stepped forward and retrieved Buddy . She then spent a few weeks with him as a foster parent to learn more about him. Buddy is now back at Nevada SPCA and ready for adoption today. His foster mom reports that he is housetrained, crate-trained, and fine with some dogs (though too energetic for others). She also reports that he may do best with some dog obedience training.

Update: Buddy was adopted on October 23rd! Buddy is a very fun-loving, handsome, and sometimes goofy boy with an outgoing personality. He is a white Boxer, neutered male, approximately 5-6 years of age. Besides being housetrained and crate-trained, Buddy is reportedly fine with most other dogs, including smaller dogs, and compatible with most cats. Boxer knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred. Buddy is deaf (or almost completely deaf). He knows two hand signals (for "sit" & "stay") and his new owner will need to work on additional, consistent signals to aid in communication with him. He is reportedly fine with older, mature children, but he lost his home because there was a child in the home who was not treating him kindly. Buddy debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Update: Buddy was adopted on June 25th! Buddy is a super cute youngster with a dynamic, jubilant personality. He is a Cairn Terrier mix, neutered male, approximately one year of age. Buddy is good with cats, dogs, and kind children. He is reportedly also housetrained and crate-trained. But despite all of his spectacular qualities, his owner's new boyfriend did not like him. Buddy needed us for rescue because he was kicked out of his family. This is a tragic scenario we see daily -- pet owners throwing away unconditional love in exchange for the hope & possibility of finding romantic love with a person who dislikes their companion animals. So the innocent animals repeatedly pay the price, as lifetime commitments vanish during their guardian's quest for romance. Relationship experts warn that the rejection of a person's family, including companion animals, bodes very poorly for a healthy, long-term relationship. Yet, this tragedy seems to continue as frequently as ever...
