Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Lynnette , a 5-pound sweetheart, looks startled when you praise her. She is realizing that she is wonderful and just as worthy of love as everyone else. Lynnette is a golden-eyed Chihuahua, 2 years young and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .    She was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her timidity.

Many of you may remember Alexis in January when she was pregnant at the time of rescue. Alexis mothered her babies with utmost devotion. In her foster home, when she needed to use the bathroom, she would sprint outdoors and then dash back inside as quickly as she could to be with her puppies. Alexis is now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . She is a petite sweetheart, a Chihuahua, 3 years of age, and good with other dogs. (Her babies will remain in foster care for a short time longer awaiting spay/neuter surgeries.) Alexis, January 2017

Winzig , a tiny little "firecracker" with enormous loving potential, longs for a peaceful home with a stable lifestyle routine. Winzig likes being around other dogs. But he is not at all sure he wants anything more to do with humans. We don't know what Winzig has endured, but all indications suggest a dreadful and traumatic previous home environment. He is intolerant of anyone reaching for him until he has decided he trusts them.    Winzig needs a hero with extraordinary patience and understanding. He is a Chihuahua, 3 years young, crate-trained, and now neutered and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Edwin is very sweet and he is grateful for all kindness.  He is an earnest boy, a Chihuahua, 7 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.   Edwin is good with dogs and kids, plus housetrained too.  He is 1 of 36 rescued Chihuahuas (or Chihuahua mixes) awaiting loving forever homes.

Olympus is a broken-hearted boy who cannot comprehend why he became homeless. (His previous owners said there was "no more room" for him in their house.)    Olympus is slipping into depression and we are working to bond him with dogs (so he is not alone in his kennel) and showering him with as much attention and reassurance as we can. Olympus is a Chihuahua, 7 years of age and neutered, well-behaved, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    His name is inspired by the mountain shapes over both eyes. Olympus is housetrained and good with dogs and mature kids.

If we take the liberty of speaking for Wally : "I'm like a tiny reindeer, and 14 years of age, so all I want for Christmas is for you to accept my unconditional love in exchange for a forever home." Wally is a quiet-natured and kind boy who is housetrained and compatible with cats, dogs, and older kids.  He is ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please share Wally's new Pet'ographique portraits to help find him a hero.

We're so proud of Drago , a "beautiful little work in progress", a sweet youngster who is recovering from severe abuse and cruelty.  Thanks to dedicated volunteers and staff, Drago has decided that some people can be kind and worthy of his trust.  He is good with other friendly dogs, about 3 years of age, an especially attractive Chihuahua, neutered boy, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Great thanks to Pet'ographique for these three remarkable portraits showcasing Drago's improvement and loving spirit.

Hewey is a vibrant youngster who loves to shower your face with doggie kisses!  He's progressed very well since his rescue when was in acute pain from a severely broken right front leg that could not be saved (an injury consistent with extreme trauma, such as being hit by a vehicle or falling from a roof).  Hewey bounces around joyfully on three legs, happy to no longer be suffering.  He is a chocolate & cream Chihuahua, 1 year of age, neutered, good with dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
