I am a baby with a nurturing, motherly personality.

Mahealani ("heavenly moonlight") is a Chihuahua mix puppy and social butterfly who loves people, cats, and dogs.  She is about 8 months of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Mahealani's front right leg was broken so severely it could not be saved, but she has adjusted well to life on three legs.  She recovered from her amputation surgery in a foster home and helped her foster family greet and welcome rescued newborn motherless kittens who also needed wonderful foster care.  She is reportedly pad-trained and housetrained.  Please ask for Mahealani specifically by name when you visit.

They said I have been kissed by 1,000 butterflies!

Butterfly Kisses is named for her most gentle of temperaments and her need for a fresh new start in life.  She is a lovely Golden & Yellow Labrador Retriever mix, spayed girl, about 5 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Butterfly Kisses was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her severe neglect.  She was filthy, with signs of improper nutrition, and the only thing certain known about her past was that she was confiscated by police from her previous household.  Please help us find a hero for Butterfly Kisses , someone who will show her what it feels like to be cherished and comfortable and pampered in a loving, forever home.

Will you let me kiss your chin?

Muffin is a dainty, tender-hearted baby girl debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a petite Chihuahua & Terrier mix, about 7 months of age, spayed, and good with other sweet dogs.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. Muffin likes to gently plant doggie kisses on your chin.  She is reportedly fine with mature, older kids and we feel she is best suited for a gentle home environment.  Muffin needed us when her previous owner moved into a relative's home where there were bigger dogs with prey drives toward small animals.

I am bursting with hope! Please don't let me down.

Delilah is a beautiful youngster and she is enthusiastic to begin her new life with love and kindness.  She is medium-size Bully mix with rich grey & white coloring, 1 year of age, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Delilah adores people, but may need to be the only dog in the home.  Please give her kind guidance and basic training. At the time of rescue she was found in front of a business, tied to a post by a lamp cord, with a note saying "Take me to the shelter".

Balloons, a baby boy who triumphed over a life-threatening disease.

Balloons is a comical baby boy with a colorful, uplifting personality and he triumphantly debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a cute Bully mix with panda bear coloring, about 6 months of age and now neutere d.  Please give Balloons your kind guidance and direction, as well as basic training.  At the time of rescue, Balloons was in peril with the parvo virus. We rushed him into a veterinary hospital for extensive treatment and he made a full and complete recovery!  Special thanks to all of you who donate to Nevada SPCA's advanced medical care fund and made his treatment & rehab possible!

If you support animal rescue & adoption, then my smile is for you.

Jason is a radiant pup with a fantastic smile and he's debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We believe he is a mix of American Eskimo & Cocker Spaniel.  Jason is 10 months of age, neutered boy, and great with other dogs.  Jason was found by a busy road with no responsible sign of ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, and not neutered). Further, he shows signs of abuse and gets very wary of some women.  But with others he is jolly and light-hearted and as happy as can be.  Please help us find Jason a kind, loving, forever home where he understands he is never in any danger.

Bud, a young Chocolate Labrador triumphantly debuting for adoption today!

Image
Bud loves to play fetch, chomp at water coming out of hoses, and snuggle in his favorite blankets.  He is a very good-looking Chocolate Labrador Retriever, 2 years young, neutered boy, debuting triumphantly for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Bud was near death at the time of rescue, emaciated, suffering from ear and lung infections.  The heroic efforts of his foster mom, a veterinary technician, during the past three months enabled him to make a full recovery.  She said he is now housetrained, learning good behaviors (including not eating human food off counters), and needs a very secure home and yard for his safety.

Will you please help me continue realizing my full loving potential?

Image
This gorgeous little lady was just skin & bones a few months ago when she was rescued from an extremely busy parkway in Las Vegas.  She was emaciated from starvation.  We named her Molly and placed her in a loving foster home for nurturing care and recovery.  Molly has made spectacular improvement during the months and she is now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a Longhair Chihuahua & Dachshund mix, about 5 years of age, and great with other dogs.  Molly craves affection and delights in sitting in your lap peacefully.  Her foster mom, Barb, has done wonders for Molly , and now she needs your help in finding someone amazing who will give her a forever home where she never misses a meal again.

Please hold me and tell me I am going to be fine.

Poochie feels secure in your arms, grateful for the comfort, and he's likely to sneak you with a doggie kiss every now and then.  He is a cuddly young Terrier mix, 1 year of age, neutered boy, now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Poochie is good with other dogs and he is drawn to gentle people.  Another shelter asked for our help because he was very shy, but Poochie is now building and confidence and self-esteem, thanks to volunteers working with him, and he's making good progress daily. 

Promise to tickle my tummy every day!

Image
Mary's foster mom says she sleeps on her back like a human infant and delights in getting slow tummy tickles.  Mary is an adorable baby girl debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a chocolate & white Bully mix puppy with hazel eyes, 3 months of age and now spayed.  According to her foster mom, Mary loves kids and dogs and adults, but she can't be around cats.  At the time of rescue earlier this year Mary was a newborn without a mother and we placed her in a foster home until now for nurturing care and socialization.  Please be sure to ask for Mary by name when you visit.

Do you like the new me? Will you consider adopting me, please?

We find Rocco to be a remarkably endearing boy.  He is thoughtful and humble, and just so relieved to be cared for and treated respectfully.  He was so severely neglected that another shelter asked for our help.  We rescued Rocco , and underneath all of the tangled and dirty hair, once cleaned up and shaved, was the super sweetie you see now.  Rocco debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a Toy & Terrier mix, under 2 years young, neutered boy, and he is great with other dogs.  We want to find him a terrific, stable home where he is showered with adoration.

I was already lost and alone, and then I got attacked.

Image
At the time of rescue this angelic, 9-pound girl had been on the streets and taken to another shelter.  She had one large head wound and a few smaller wounds consistent with an attack from a large dog.  We rescued her, provided her medical care, and named her Cutie .  She is now healed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Cutie is a delightful Toy Poodle mix, about 4 years of age, spayed, and great with other sweet dogs.  Please plan and budget extra for regular professional grooming to keep her feeling and looking her best.

Please don't throw me away again.

Image
This gentle baby girl showed up one morning in someone's backyard, apparently tossed over the wall.  We named her Bindi and she is now 10 months of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Bindi has pleading eyes and she just wants to feel safe and secure.  She is terrific with other dogs and enjoys playing ball.  We believe Bindi is a Chihuahua & Terrier mix and she will remain very small.

Does anyone want my unconditional love?

Image
Durbin is a loyal, well-behaved girl who needed us when her previous owner passed away.  She loves going for walks, playing catch, and sitting pleasantly at your side.  Durbin is a plump, medium-size Shepherd mix, about 8 years of age, spayed, housetrained, and compatible with cats, dogs, and mature kids.  She debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please help us find Durbin a wonderful new loving, forever home.

Gretchen, a Boxer puppy for adoption who loves to listen to you.

Image
Gretchen is a beautiful pup, smart and engaging and kind, debuting for adoption triumphantly today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a Boxer, about 10 months of age and spayed.  Gretchen likes to you talk to her and explain things.  She is a good listener and wants to understand you.  We rescued Gretchen from another shelter to treat her for mange.  She responded amazingly well to treatment, her hair is growing back, and she has been cleared by her veterinarian for adoption. Boxer knowledge is preferred for her adoption.

Promise to shield me from evil, hunger, and despair.

Lindsey's wise eyes also reveal great warmth.  Her face is still gaunt from starvation/emaciation, but she is steadily regaining weight and spirit now that she is eating premium, probiotic food.  Lindsey's history is mostly unknown.  She was a stray on the streets captured by an animal control officer who took her to a government-funded shelter.  That shelter asked for Nevada SPCA's help because she was so severely underweight.  Lindsey is a medium-size Retriever mix, about 4 years of age, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  We want this sweetheart to never know hunger or loneliness again.

Asia, a delightful Yorkshire Terrier puppy for adoption.

Image
Asia is a delightful Yorkshire Terrier puppy debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She is about 11 months of age, a spayed girl, and good with other sweet dogs.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. Please plan and budget for regular professional grooming. We rescued Asia from another shelter because she was timid there and diagnosed with a low-grade heart murmur.  Regarding the latter, medications are not needed at this time, just an easy-going lifestyle, but have your veterinarian monitor her heart murmur in the years to come for any changes and guidance.

Tutu, a pearl, a treasure.

Image
Tutu is a tiny, pretty young girl who dreams of being adored and cherished.  She is cream, black & white Chihuahua, 2 years of age, spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tutu needs to know what a loving home feels like.  Here is what the kind woman who rescued Tutu told us: "I found her running in the street and then found her owner.  He said she's a stupid dog and I should have let her get run over."  Tutu is a wonderful treasure and her gentle spirit will provide enormous love to the person, couple, or family fortunate to adopt her and add her to their family.

I have so much sunshine to share with you.

Hudson glows with kindness and good cheer.  He is a good-looking Yellow Labrador Retriever, 2 years young, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Hudson was hit by a car and then taken to another shelter, which in turn asked Nevada SPCA for help.  He had road rash wounds and a very sore hip, but he surprisingly did not have broken bones.  Hudson is now healed and bounds around playfully as if the incident never occurred.  We love Hudson's resilience and innocence and want to find him a home where he will always remain light-hearted and happy.

Derek, a young Weimaraner who witnessed domestic violence.

Image
Derek is a young, loyal Weimaraner with a majestic appearance and he debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is 1 year of age, a neutered boy, and reportedly housetrained and crate-trained, and compatible with cats & dogs & mature kids.  Derek needs a hero though.  His soul is scarred from witnessing the horrors of domestic violence and he is fearful of men who he does not know or trust.  The look of worry in his eyes is heartbreaking.  But a light-hearted, playful side of Derek will emerge once he is in a stable, gentle home where people treat each other, and him, with dignity and respect and kindness.  Please help us find Derek that forever home where his faith in humans will be restored.
