Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Update: Peaches was adopted on June 20th! Peaches is a petite, darling little girl whose best days are now ahead of her. She was rescued from a stranger's front yard giving birth. We gave her the care she needed and both puppies survived. (Her puppies are in foster care now until they are old enough for spay/neuter in preparation for adoption.) Her previous owner was eventually located, but failed to reclaim her. Which is for the best, for many reasons. Her rough life has resulted in a sometimes cranky attitude she has developed for self-protection. Our experience is that her short temper will diminish as she gains self-esteem and a sense of security in an experienced, adult-only home. Peaches is a Shih-Tzu, spayed female, two years young. She debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Please plan on great patience with her, as well as regular grooming care, so budget extra accordingly. Let's be sure that Peaches only sees the best side of human nature from now on.

Update: Hugh was adopted on June 8th! Hugh is a gentle spirit with a mellow nature. This sweetheart debuts in Adoptions today. He is a Shih-Tzu, neutered male, approximately 6-8 years of age. Hugh spent his first day with us getting groomed and we removed many foxtails which were painfully embedded in his coat and skin. We rescued him from another shelter, so we do not know how long he had been in this severely neglected condition. Hugh still believes in people though. He loves to cuddle. Please adopt and pamper this boy so that he never knows hardship or fear again.

Update: Rocket was adopted on June 6th! Rocket is, indeed, a blast! He is fun, silly, and full of himself. You can see the anxiety in his eyes though. Even though just a young adult, he has been in and out of homes and shelters, and understandably, he is nervous to trust his love to a person again. So he needs a steady, stable home where he will never have to worry that those he depends on will abandon him. Rocket is most likely a Shih-Tzu and Lhasa Apso mix, neutered male, approximately just a year of age. He is choosy about which other dogs he likes. Be sure to budget extra for regular grooming care. He is ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Update: Chocolata was adopted on May 23rd! Chocolata is a gentle spirit who needs a quieter, mellower lifestyle. We rescued her from another shelter where she did not qualify for adoption due to her heart murmur. But this condition is only mild (mid-grade) and medication is not required at this time. Please consult your veterinarian for guidance and plan on a calmer home environment for her. Chocolata is a Shih-Tzu, spayed female, approximately three years young. She is good with other dogs. We shaved her down due to her being in filthy condition after rescue, but we expect her coat to grow back beautifully with continued good nutrition and grooming. She is ready for adoption to a loving, caring forever home beginning today.
