Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Update: Gumby was adopted on September 7th! Gumby adores people. He especially enjoys shoulder rides or perching on your arm to be near you. He is a handsome baby rooster we rescued from another shelter. He enjoys greeting visitors, from the big window onto the pot belly pig patio, as they head down to the dog kennels. Like all domesticated animals, Gumby needs a loving, committed home where he can live out his life in safety. Chickens and roosters are prey to so many animals, so it especially important that you have a very secure home for him. Also, he is very people-oriented and he needs an owner who will spend quality time with him everyday.

Update: Phelps was adopted on May 14th! Upon his rescue from a foreclosed home, we brought this handsome duck in to a protected patio with multiple swimming pools. Raised with chickens and rabbits, he was not at all fearful of the pot belly pigs and other ducks. His focus was just getting in the water. We will never forget his initial burst of euphoric joy -- splashing, dunking, cleaning, wading -- completely overwhelmed with fulfilling his nature and being in the pools. We named this swimming aficionado Phelps , after the swimmer. He is a very handsome and friendly duck. He even lets the staff members who bond with him and feed him to hold him in their arms for brief intervals. Playfully, he sometimes chases them to demand great attention. Phelps needs a very safe home geared to the pleasures of a duck, with plenty of places to swim. He is so socialized with and dependent on people that he cannot be released into a wilderness-type environment. Instead, he needs a home where he w...

Update: Lil' Squirt was adopted on June 29th! Lil' Squirt has grown to become a very large, valiant, handsome rooster. He is currently on the Pig Patio, bonding with two pot belly pigs, and awaiting his forever home. He longs to be with chickens in a caring home environment, safe from coyotes, hawks, and other dangers. Many months ago a family was hiking in the desert and was shocked to see a baby chick run up to the children. He danced around their feet -- urgently needing their help -- and succeeded in getting them to pick him up and rescue him. The family brought him to Nevada SPCA for safety and named him Lil' Squirt. They had no idea how he ever landed in the desert or managed to survive there as a baby. Their best guess was that a large number of chicks were abandoned in the desert and he was the lone survivor. During his stay with us, more than two dozen chickens have been adopted, but roosters like Lil' Squirt have a much more difficult time finding good hom...
