Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Scooby is a bright-eyed youngster with tremendous potential.    He is an exceptionally attractive Catahoula Leopard Dog with chocolate merle coloration and blue sunbursts in his left eye, 2 years of age, neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Scooby is protective of women and worries about men he doesn't know getting close to the women he is bonding with. We don't know what he endured or witnessed.    What we did learn was that he had been living in a garage, day and night, for 3 months when his previous owner abandoned him with a friend and then never reclaimed him. Scooby needs an experienced home where he can learn that men can be kind and nurturing too. He will learn that his role is to love, not to protect.

We cannot say enough about Scooby's magnetic charm!  He is a 120-pound lovebug, an exceptionally friendly Bloodhound mix, 6 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Scooby was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his entropion (inward-slanting eyelids).  His veterinarian determined that because of his naturally drooping eyelids, there is little contact between his eyes and eyelashes and he's showing no signs of discomfort.  Scooby is stronger than he realizes and pulls the person walking him if not reminded to be at a pace together.  Bloodhound knowledge is strongly preferred for his adoption and we don't yet know whether he is compatible with other dogs.

Scooby is so forlorn and depressed that he hangs his head.  (He was surrendered due to his previous owners' divorce.)  But when you sit beside him and talk sweetly, his spirits begin to revive and he smiles warmly.  Scooby is an exceptionally handsome Chocolate Doberman Pinscher, about 8 years of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is reportedly housetrained and good with dogs and older kids.  Please help us find a loving, forever home for Scooby .

We call this handsome boy a "greeter" -- he enjoys being right at the door to welcome you when you walk into his playroom.  Scooby is a grey tuxedo medium-hair, neutered, about 6 years of age, with jewel-green eyes.  He adores people and tolerates respectful cats.  Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for Scooby by name.  Stunning portraits courtesy of Pet'ographique .

Update: Scooby was adopted on October 3rd! Like most rescued animals at shelters and with rescue groups, Scooby did nothing wrong and did not deserve to lose his home. He needed rescue because his owner reported being too allergic to keep him. Scooby is a very handsome Pomeranian & Dachshund mix. He is neutered and approximately 4 years of age. Scooby enjoys the company of other dogs. He needs regular grooming/brushing care, so please plan accordingly. He is reportedly crate-trained, but he may need your patience and guidance (and a stable routine) in order to fully complete housetraining. He is also reportedly fine with mature, kind children. Scooby's emotional challenge is gaining self-esteem. He is quite shy with new people and new situations. However, he is warm and gentle when relaxed and confident, so we believe it is just a matter of time before he learns to enjoy new experiences. Please visit and ask for Scooby . He debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
