Buster

Buster , 11, can no longer hear your voice well, so your body language and hand signals help him understand you. (Formal sign language is not needed, but please be consistent with the signals you develop with him.)  Buster is an attractive Beagle and he is housetrained and compatible with cats & dogs & kids.  He is now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA .  Buster was surrendered by his previous owner due to financial hardship.

Pete , 13 and deaf, is so spry and young-at-heart that you can see he still feels like a puppy on the inside.  He is a Cocker Spaniel, housetrained and crate-trained, good with dogs and kids, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Consistent hand signals, like thumbs up, are important for communication with him.  Pete needed us when his previous owners moved into an apartment that does not allow pets.  Please share Pete's post to help find him a hero.

Joanie -- this morning & on the day of her rescue.

You may recall Joanie from earlier this year, a deaf young mother and her 5 newborns found abandoned in a vacated house.  Joanie , a small Border Collie and Cocker Spaniel mix, 2 years of age, is now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Her babies are doing beautifully and will remain in a loving foster home until they are ready for their spay/neuter surgeries.  Joanie is exceptionally kind and humble.  Please use consistent hand signals and other body language to communicate with her, as well as take thorough safety precautions for her throughout your home and yard.  Please share this angel's pictures to help her find a forever home.

Hold me, comfort me, please love me.

Beethoven , named for his lyrical personality, was out on the Vegas streets alone, neglected, mostly deaf, and with numerous dental problems.  He is a Maltese mix, about 10 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Beethoven is a very gentle soul and he gets along well with other dogs.  He is now cleaned up and eating premium food, and his 7 problem teeth have been extracted.  Please use consistent hand signals to help with communication and take extra safety precautions for him in your home and yard.
