Luigi

Image
Luigi , a thoughtful and gentle Italian Greyhound, pleads for peace-of-mind.  He is 3 years of age, neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Luigi was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity. He was reportedly the victim of neglect from a suspected breeder.  Please help Luigi build self-esteem and confidence. A big sister or brother dog could be wonderful for him adjustment too.

Donovan

Image
Donovan , a junior puppy who survived a dreadful and loveless home, now looks at everything new in the world with awe and wonder. His loving potential is enormous! Donovan is a Corgi mix, 9 months of age, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    An experienced owner can help him build confidence. Donovan was denied socialization and attention, so he is very worried about strangers and their intentions.    He has bonded well with the dogs here and may do best in a home with a big sister or brother dog.

Ramon

Ramon , tiny and adorable, gentle like a baby deer, yearns for someone to love. He is a Toy Xolo (Xoloitzcuintli, aka Mexican Hairless), 7 years of age, housetrained, good with dogs and older kids, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    Ramon was surrendered by his previous owners who cited their busy schedules as the reason.    He loves other gentle dogs and we strongly prefer adopting him to a home where he will have a sister or brother canine to bond with.

Paulina

Paulina , bashful and demure, is learning that she is worthy of love.  She is a junior puppy with tremendous loving potential and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. Paulina is a Mini Bully (only 22 pounds), spayed girl, drawn to soft-spoken people.  She appears to be compatible with other dogs and may do best in a home with a big sister or brother dog.  We rescued Paulina from another shelter that asked for our help due to her timidity.

Emperor

Image
Emperor was witnessed being pushed out of a moving car. He had soft tissue injuries, but fortunately did not have any broken bones. However, his heart was shattered and he was in horrendous physical condition and terrified of people. Weeks later, Emperor's wounds have healed. He is accepting kindness and slowly improving with trust. He sits perfectly still while you pet him and talk to him, perhaps worried that if he does the wrong thing he will cause anger and rage. We can only imagine what he endured. Emperor's emotional healing will take much longer and he needs a hero. He is a Chow Chow, 5 years of age, now neutered and ready for a special needs adoption at Nevada SPCA. He cannot walk on a leash -- we carry him from place to place -- but he stands and walks on his own when another large dog is around him for comfort. We believe Emperor will continue adjusting best in a home with a big sister or brother dog.

Valentino

Image
Valentino is a tender-hearted young boy with tremendous loving potential and he debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. One of his neighbors noticed he was always kept outdoors and never received affection or attention. When his owner moved out of the country, Valentino was left behind and abandoned, then brought to us for safety. Valentino is surprised to receive attention. So he's sometimes more comfortable having you just sit peacefully beside him, talking softly, avoiding direct eye contact. We believe he will thrive best with a big sister or brother dog for guidance. Valentino is 1 year of age, a Terrier & Toy mix (with black skin under one eye and pink skin under his other eye), and now neutered.    Please help find a hero for Valentino .

Jupiter

Image
Jupiter , a sensitive young boy with tremendous loving potential, debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a Yorkshire Terrier mix, 1 year of age and neutered.  Jupiter is very timid and may get nippy when fearful. We believe he will adjust best with the guidance of a big sister or brother dog. Once Jupiter understands you are kind, he accepts your love and returns affection.  We saved him from another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity.  Please help find Jupiter a very experienced, adult-only home where his progress with trust and socialization can continue.

Giorgio

Giorgio wants to know what he can do to make you happy with him. He is tender-hearted and confused about how he is supposed to fit in. Giorgio is a Yorkshire Terrier mix, petite (just 7 pounds), 4 years of age and neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.    He is great with other dogs and we believe he will adjust best in a home with a big sister or brother dog.    We rescued Giorgio from another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity.
