Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Shella , a 5-pound sweetie with a doe-like appearance, is now healed and ready to join a loving, gentle, forever home.  She is an adorable Chihuahua, 2 years young and spayed, good with other dogs, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue Shella was at another shelter with a broken leg caused by unknown massive trauma. She recovered with us for months and x-rays indicated her healing was successful.  Please visit and ask for Shella by name.

Shella is awakening to the immensely bright possibilities of feeling loved and cherished. At the time of rescue though, like countless others who are regarded with dollar signs instead of affection, she was reportedly being used by a backyard breeder to make money off of her puppies. Shella is now spayed and debuting for adoption today.  We want to find her a forever home where she will never again have to doubt whether she is loved. She is a pretty Chihuahua mix, tri-color with mocha & tan & white, plus golden eyes, about 2 years young. Please be patient with Shella as she completes housetraining and adjusts to living primarily indoors.  We doubt she has ever walked on carpet before, or napped on a couch, or cuddled with a person in front of a TV set. In her portrait Shella is sporting a faux-fur lined jacket donated by a volunteer to help keep her warm in her kennel.
