Brody, a young golden boy rescued from Red Rock Canyon.

Image
A kind man found Brody in Red Rock Canyon, presumably abandoned, with no sign of responsible ownership, and in grave danger from the coyotes there.  Brody was terrified, but the man was able to capture him.  Brody spent some time at his home before coming to us and Brody is reportedly housetrained, crate-trained, and compatible with cats, dogs, and kids.  Brody is a medium-size Heinz 57 with Beagle, sporting handsome gold coloring, and he is 2 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Do they ever wonder what happened to me?

Nitro is a pensive, intelligent youngster seeking insight and understanding about human nature.  Tied to a pole and abandoned, Nitro cannot comprehend how someone he loved could have disposed of him so ruthlessly and recklessly.  Nitro is an especially attractive Bully mix, 2 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  This devoted boy has enormous potential and we ask for your help in finding him a hero who will never fail him.

I never thought the person I loved would throw me away.

Dennis is a big, lovable Lynx Point Siamese debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is very personable and his ocean-blue eyes are commented by many as being so human-like.  Dennis is 3 years young and neutered.  At the time of rescue one of our staff found him in severe distress, trapped in a cage outdoors without food or water.  He was so traumatized by being dumped so mercilessly that it took him several days to calm down.  But Dennis is now responding beautifully to loving care, realizing he is safe and that his future will be one with love and respect and dignity.  Please ask for Dennis by name when you visit.

I was the cheapest "thing" at the yard sale.

At the time of rescue this sweetheart was on display at a yard sale, being disposed of as if he were a simple piece of property.  But while all the knick-knacks were at least 50 cents or a dollar, his sign just said "FREE".  Silverman is actually a treasure, an incredibly sweet and regal bunny with a world of love to share with you.  Silverman is a Chinchilla breed rabbit, about 2-3 years of age, now neutered and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Special thanks to Pet'ographique for this beautiful portrait to help Silverman find a loving, forever home.

Bobo Mannie Bobo and his brother Mannie are gentle baby boys debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The boys and their mother ( Buffy , also rescued) were found in someone's front yard and were presumed to have been abandoned there.  Bobo is a tiger tabby and Mannie is a spotted tabby with a shorter tail and clubbed hind foot. They are now 3 months of age, neutered, and ready for loving, indoor-only, forever homes.  Please ask for Bobo and Mannie specifically by name when you visit.

Can't I live indoors in safety and comfort?

Mena is a petite, captivating girl with soft blue eyes and she is now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  A gentle home is best for her, indoors-only, of course.  Mena's previous owner kept her outdoors and she was so neglected that besides all of the grime and dirt in her coat, two of her claws had grown so long they had circled and torn into her paws.  When they dumped her they brought her in a shabby box that she quickly escaped from, and then she hid under a dumpster, terrified.  Mena is a gorgeous Tortie Point Siamese, about 6 years of age, spayed, and best-suited for a calm lifestyle.

Nelly, a pregnant young girl, is one of many rescued cats needing foster homes today.

Image
Nelly is going to give birth any day now and she is one of the rescued felines we urgently need a foster home for as soon as possible please. Nelly needs a comfortable, peaceful place to birth and raise her babies, requiring a foster comm itment of at least three months. If you can help Nelly and her babies, please visit Nevada SPCA ( www.nevadaspca.org ) before 4pm and ask for Ashyadee. Nelly was surrendered Saturday by her previous owners who said they just no longer had room for her. She is a super sweet, gorgeous young girl, about 2 years of age, with a docile nature. Please help us find Nelly a hero. Separately, we also have 11 rescued kittens (from 3 litters) who need loving foster homes too.

How do I find a human who will not quit me?

Raven is a gorgeous, devoted girl with many tremendous qualities, despite having been failed repeatedly by past owners.  She loved them unconditionally, but they rejected her, and so it's no surprise that she now may have separation anxiety, fearful of abandonment forever when you leave her sight.  There are no instant fixes for separation anxiety, but with time and a stable routine, and possibly crate-training, great improvements can be made.  Raven is a German Shepherd with a majestic appearance, about 6 years of age, spayed, good with cats and dogs, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please help Raven find a hero.

I am bursting with hope! Please don't let me down.

At the time of rescue she was found in front of a business, tied to a post by a lamp cord, with a note saying "Take me to the shelter".

Do you know what it feels like to be forgotten?

As sweet as a rose!

Did they move to a state that forbids kitties?

Newborn kittens urgently need a foster parent, please!

Image
Update: These babies are now in a loving foster home receiving care. Urgent request for help!  These four kittens need a foster home today.  They are just four weeks of age and still need bottle-feeding.  If you can help, please visit Nevada SPCA before 4pm and ask for Janean.  These sweet babies were rescued from a cardboard box by an apartment complex dumpster, and believe it or not, the person who dumped them had written a sign on the box saying "God Bless".  Most fortunately, a compassionate person heard their cries before the trash truck arrived.

I belong indoors only, please.
