Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

A man said Moonbeam showed up unexpectedly in his yard after the Fourth of July during the extreme Vegas heatwave.  Without an ID tag or a microchip ID, he tried other means, without success, to find her previous owner.  He eventually decided that she may have been purposefully abandoned, so he asked for our help to get her spayed and find her a loving, forever home.  Moonbeam is initially shy, but blessed with a jolly disposition and she is now very hopeful for her future.  She is a beautiful Bully mix, 2 years young, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Nevada SPCA is open for adoptions on Saturday, July 4th, with regular hours: 11am-5pm. We have almost 200 dogs for adoption, including Anne (pictured here), who is a very sweet and unique Boxer & Pug mix, spayed female. More than 200 cats are available for adoption in Nevada SPCA's free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms. Throughout July we have an adoption special on adult cats ($25 adoption fees with extra benefits). Please also visit Nevada SPCA's Rabbit & Guinea Pig Rescue Room to meet almost 70 bunnies (all spayed/neutered), and a half dozen guinea pigs, who are ready for adoption too. Other species available for adoption: hamsters, gerbils, pot belly pigs, birds, and a rooster. Please remember that we are also in urgent need of caring foster homes for newborn kittens. Visit the cat staff in the Cat Condos for more information on this incredibly important way to help support animal rescue.

Please remember to take common sense steps to keep your companion animals protected this holiday. Each year at this time, countless animals traumatized by the sounds, smells, and sights of fireworks are lost, injured, or killed as they try to escape what must seem like the end of the world to many of them. Foremost, please keep your animals securely indoors during the fireworks displays, ideally in a well-lit room with the blinds/curtains closed, along with TV or radio noise. If they become anxious from what they hear happening outside, please calm and soothe them (without drama) rather than scold or discipline them. It is astounding how many people still take animals to fireworks ceremonies. Please warn and strongly discourage your friends and family and others from doing this. It could even be grounds for abuse or neglect charges. Two final precautions: 1) Remember that fireworks displays and ceremonies often continue past the Fourth Of July, so extra vigilance and caution is neede...
