Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Twinkie is the tiniest of dogs -- only 3 pounds! -- but he has enormous unconditional love to share with you.  He is a super cute, super sweet Yorkshire Terrier, neutered boy, 10 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Another shelter asked us to rescue Twinkie because of his dental needs.  We had his teeth cleaned and he is now ready for a forever home.  An experienced home is required for his safety due to his exceptionally small size.

Update: Lila was adopted on February 1st! Lila is a gorgeous little angel who we rescued from another shelter that ran out of space for her. She is shy, but warming to us a bit more each day, and today she debuts for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Lila is a Toy & Terrier mix with cute wing-like ears that feather dramatically with her blond coat.  She is spayed and approximately 6 years of age.  We had a dental cleaning done for her upon rescue. She enjoys other dogs.  We believe she will do best in quieter home.  She is on the verge of a big breakthrough with trust and feeling secure. Please visit and ask to meet Lila by name. Note: Lila is available for adoption.  She was adopted, but returned for being so energetic.  Her previous mom said she is housetrained and adores cats.

Update: Tommy was adopted on November 1st! Tommy's charm emanates from his easy-going nature and innocent spirit. He is a handsome Shih-Tzu, neutered male, about 4 years of age, debuting for adoption today. Tommy is great with other sweet dogs and needs regular professional grooming care. We rescued him and 5 other Shih-Tzus from another shelter.  They had been taken there when their previous owner passed away, and unfortunately, all 6 needed dental work and grooming.  We have provided this care for them -- Tommy had a dental cleaning and 8 extractions -- and they are becoming available as their adoption preparation is completed. A quick note on dental decay.  This varies with each dog, of course, but we usually do not see this much tooth decay on young dogs unless they are eating a bulk of tablescraps instead of their dog food.  This is our speculation for these six, but we have no way of knowing what their lifestyle was previously like.  So, please...

Update: Nanna was adopted on August 30th! One of the most endearing things about little Nanna is how humble and unassuming she is, and grateful for your gentle touch. She is a petite Maltese mix with Teddy Bear eyes, spayed female, approximately 8 years of age. We rescued Nanna from another shelter and had her teeth cleaned. She debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Nanna is compatible with other sweet dogs and she needs regular grooming care. We believe she will do best in a quieter home because of her sensitive nature.
