Why did they want to cut my ears off?

Update: Wee Willy has been adopted! Wee Willy is a 5-pound lovebug. He could hardly be any cuter, that's for sure.  But some fool out there tried to "crop" his ears, nicking off the top of his right ear and severely maiming his left ear. This home-style cropping of ears is gruesomely painful and tortuous.  The victims are usually the Bully breeds, in a sick effort to make them look mean, and it is absolute cruelty, using ice and scissors. Wee Willy though still believes in people.  He melts into your arms when you hold and comfort him. He is a Teacup Chihuahua, neutered boy, about 2 years young. Wee Willy gets along very well with other sweet dogs.

I say that age is only a number.

Update: Candy was adopted on December 28th! After we rescued this sweetheart from another shelter, we pondered her new name, trying to match it up with her personality. Her sugary-sweet nature made the name Candy the obvious choice. She is full of good spirit and affection, and she sometimes tries to sneak in kisses. She also wiggles her whole body when excited. Candy is a beautiful Boxer. She is a spayed female, approximately 9 years of age, though completely young at heart. Candy has lovely, natural ears. Thank goodness that fewer people are trying to crop dogs' ears, as well as fewer veterinarians willing to perform the unnecessary, often very painful cosmetic surgeries. Boxer knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred for her. She is ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Candy may be best as the only dog, but we have a large courtyard for meets-and-greets if you would like her to meet your resident dog, or children for that matter.
