Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Gracie , a young girl with a shining spirit, loves to look warmly in your eyes and bring out your smile.  She is a medium-size blend of breeds, including Australian Shepherd, 1 year of age and spayed, housetrained, good with dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Gracie was at another shelter that ran out of space.  She is reportedly compatible with older kids, but gets anxious and fearful of young children (for reasons in her past unknown).

Gracie Angel cannot see your smiles, so kind praise and reassuring touches mean the world to her. She is very trusting and slowly walks at your side, believing that you will keep her safe from bumping into a wall or table or other potential hazard. Gracie is a red-gold Labrador Retriever mix, perhaps with Bully, 11 years of age and spayed, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  She is housetrained & crate-trained (once she learns the home and routine) and compatible with dog and kids. Gracie needed us when her previous owners moved away without her. Please share Gracie's picture and help find her a hero.

Gracie's emotions are easy to read in her expressive face. Her eyes are filled with warmth when she knows she is the center of attention. Gracie is a Labrador Retriever mix, plump at 94 pounds, a spayed girl, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    She was at another shelter and needed our help.

Gracie, June 12, the day of her rescue.  Gracie , who nearly perished from starvation, has bloomed into a volunteer favorite (they call her "baby hippo") who delights in playing with kids, splashing in wading pools, and leaning onto the people who cuddle her.    Today, Gracie triumphantly debuts for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Gracie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 5 years of age, spayed, and housetrained.    She was captured at a construction site months ago in such emaciated and dehydrated condition that we rushed her to a veterinary hospital for IV fluids for two days. Her veterinarian said she would not have survived another day on her own. Gracie's physical and emotional recovery was helped by time spent in a loving foster home. Her foster dad says she adores people of all ages and can get along with some large dogs (if fed separa...

Update: Gracie was adopted on June 28th! This puppy has been the victim of repeated beatings. Unsure of people, and with very low self-esteem, the world does not seem like such a loving place. But Gracie wants to believe in people. We hope this feature helps attract a gentle, caring, tender person or couple to help her emerge from her shell. Gracie is a beautiful Pointer mix, spayed female, 9 months of age. We rescued her from another shelter. Gracie debuts for adoption today.

Gracie is a jubilant, beautiful girl who loves adults. She is a Boxer, spayed, 3-4 years of age. Gracie is reportedly house trained (with a doggie door) and crate-trained. She reportedly lost her home due to being incompatible with young children. We do not know the cause of her anxiety around children, and we have not witnessed it ourselves, but we respect this report and must err on the safe side and find her a home where she will not be around toddlers or young children. Gracie is fine with some dogs, but choosy who she likes. Boxer knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred for her adoption. You can ask for Gracie by name in the lobby at Nevada SPCA. She debuts for adoption today.

Update: Gracie was adopted on September 9th! Gracie is an angelic puppy with a vibrant personality. While she has a Retriever appearance, she also has a longer body, and at 5 months it is clear she is not growing to large size (but instead medium size). So, we are stumped on her breed make-up, but probably in a month or two it will become clearer. The wonderful thing though about mixed breeds is that each one is perfectly unique. Gracie is good with other dogs. She and her brother George (who will be available for adoption soon) were rescued when their owner threatened to abandon them in a yard. Gracie is now spayed and ready for adoption today.

Update: Gracie was adopted on December 23rd! In Gracie's eyes you can still see the trauma and devastation of her extremely cruel abandonment. One of our staff found her crammed inside a small box without food or water. Underneath her were her dead newborn kittens. Gracie is all but a baby herself, just a year of age. She is a petite, gorgeous medium-hair brown tabby. With good food and care, Gracie recovered physically from the ordeal, but emotionally she is still scarred. She has a very graceful manner and endearing spirit. Gracie is now spayed and ready for adoption. She needs and deserves a very committed, lifelong, gentle, and strictly indoor-only home.
