Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

  Thank you to his mom, Sue, for sharing his progress and pictures: "I get your Facebook updates and while I was at work. I saw a dog who was thrown away in the trash in a plastic bag. He was named Devin. I work at Republic Services and left work to go get him. He is renamed Houdini for surviving being thrown out in the trash. He's a very good-natured boy and gets along well with our other 2 dogs. So thank you for giving animals who are literally thrown away a chance."

***Caution*** for sensitive readers. Devin is alive, thriving, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. But some may not want to read further. We believe it is important to tell the animals' stories so that potential adopters know as much as reasonably possible about their backgrounds. A woman found Devin in a dumpster, tied up in a trashbag, alive because he was able to poke his nose out for oxygen.     Devin does not fear gentle people, but he distrusts strangers and likes to have plenty of time to warm to them. Devin has the appearance of a little deer. He is a Chihuahua mix, 4 years of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and ready for a home where he will be treasured and always safe.
