Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Kristoff feels naked today. For the first time in years his eyes are not blocked by matted tangles and the rest of his long and knotted coat is shaved away to give him a fresh start. We suspect Kristoff had not been brushed in more than 5 years in his previous home. Kristoff is a tender-hearted boy, a small Heinz 57 with Dachshund and Poodle, 8 years of age, neutered, good with dogs, houstrained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He needs to know what a loving, responsible home feels like.

Shiloh, July 28 Shiloh, August 3 Shiloh, August 3 Shiloh beams with hope and knows everything has, finally, changed.  He is a Labradoodle, 5 years of age, 35 pounds, neutered boy, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Shiloh arrived in one of the worst conditions we've seen so far this year. The filthy matting around his mouth and left eye interfered with his ability to eat and see. Shiloh's background is a mystery and at some point recently his previous owner died. He was apparently deprived of toys, so he created toys out of what he could find. He likes to shred pieces of paper into tiny pieces. Please continue him on premium, probiotic meals and budget sufficiently for regular grooming and a great variety of toys and blankets. Everything we are giving him at the shelter seems to him to be new and exciting. A fresh start.

Brandy , 4, is a gentle girl making a recovery from extreme neglect.  At the time of rescue she had apparently ingested a toxic substance and her life was in peril. We rushed her to emergency care and for the past 6 weeks Brandy has been healing and improving with loving care and premium food.  She is a Poodle, good with other sweet dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Bianca glows when you tell her she has a beautiful spirit.  Never brushed before, the victim of a loveless home, she is unrecognizable from her extremely matted condition at the time of rescue.  Bianca is not used to people paying attention to her, so she's bashful at first.  She is a Lhasa-Poo, 7 years of age and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Casper , 12, treasures the peaceful and tender moments in your arms. He is a Shih-Tzu, great with other sweet dogs, neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his extreme neglect. We had to have Casper shaved to remove all of the matted knotting. He he has few teeth left and requires very soft meals and treats. After what was certainly years of disregard, please help us find Casper a hero who will pamper him lovingly.

  This is the face of someone realizing that fortunes have, at long last, finally changed. This morning Sydney wore a worried look (see below) as we cut off numerous matted ropes of hair, some longer even than his tail. Nine years of age and he had never been brushed, never let indoors, and most likely, never loved. But as the minutes went by, he became less shocked and surprised that we were paying attention to him. He started kissing the person talking sweetly to him. And he stepped closer to the man trimming his coat, understanding he was getting help. Then suddenly his eyes and smile were filled with hope and we took his picture. Sydney is an Australian Shepherd who must finally know what a loving home feels like. He is neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. We rescued him from another shelter. He is good with other dogs, provided that all meals and treats are fed separately. Please help find someone wonderful ...

Lilac , 8, an extreme neglect survivor, desperately wants to know what being loved feels like. Lilac is a super sweet and humble Shih-Tzu, 8 years of age, spayed girl, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Due to malnutrition, she has hair loss on her face, ears, and most of her body. Please continue feeding her premium, nutritious meals and treats. Lilac is gaining energy, standing taller with her head up, and her spark for life is building.  With continued improvement with her skin and hair, we believe she will be almost unrecognizable in 6 months.  We cannot wait to see her progress, both physically and emotionally. We rescued this sweetheart from another shelter.

Gilbert likes to burrow under blankets to take his naps.  He is very sweet, gentle, and humble.  At the time of rescue he was found on a street corner with no sign of responsible ownership and suffering from an infection so severe his right eye could not be saved.  Gilbert is a tri-color Chihuahua, 8 years of age, neutered, good with other calm dogs, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  He is still adjusting to the loss of his eye and screams if someone reaches for him too quickly on his blind side.  Please help find him a very patient, quiet, nurturing home so that he will only know love and kindness from now on.

Shakespeare needs to know what a loving home feels like.  He is 11 years of age, feeling lost and unsure.  Shakespeare was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his extreme neglect, which included ear infections and patches of missing hair due to malnutrition.  Shakespeare has been recovering with us for one month, making steady improvement, and he is ready to debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is a Labrador Retriever mix, neutered, and good with other dogs.  Please help find him a wonderful, patient home.

Gisselle , a young Terry-Poo (Terrier & Miniature Poodle mix), was found abandoned and injured near a Vegas freeway.  Her hind leg was severely wounded and infected, but not from being hit by a car, but from neglect so extreme that the knots in her coat had grown inside her leg.  Now, after two months of treatment and successful recovery, Gisselle is now spayed and ready to find out what a loving home feels like.  She is understandably pensive and reserved, unsure if she can really rely on people, but yet she wants to trust and believe in kindness.  Gisselle is 3 years of age and picky about other dogs.  Please help find her someone who will patiently help her reach her full loving potential and never fail her.

Gordon's emotional progress is just as dramatic as his physical transformation.  He is an incredibly cute and cheerful Miniature Poodle, 2 years young, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting triumphantly for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  We have every reason to believe that Gordon had never been brushed before.  He repeatedly tried to nip at the groomer ( Hair of the Dog Spa , who were amazing with him!) because he didn't understand her intentions to help him.  Gordon was found on the streets.  Please share his picture to help find an experienced home where he will continue blooming and reaching his full loving potential.

Danny is understandably reveling in being the center of attention.  A Shih-Tzu mix junior puppy who suffered from unconscionable neglect, he was never brushed or allowed indoors.  Danny is now neutered, eating premium food, and enjoying volunteers & staff and the dogs he is meeting here.  He is 10 months of age, eager to know what a loving home feels like, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Special thanks to Hair of the Dog Spa for his grooming transformation.

June 7 July 19 This tiny, 4-pound angel was rescued last month after being found in deplorable condition on the streets, the victim of years of extreme neglect. We put Esperanza on a premium, probiotic diet, had her groomed, spayed, and had dental care provided for her. Esperanza is a Shih-Tzu, about 12 years of age and she is drawn to gentle people and dogs. Please help us find her a responsible home where she will finally understand what being cherished and adored feels like.

Velvet's nightmare is over and her future will be so full of love and adoration that it is beyond her comprehension.  Velvet was found in downtown Vegas in shockingly atrocious condition.  Besides extreme filth and matting and emaciation, her head was shaking in pain from a severe ear infection and her left eye was missing.  Now cleaned, groomed, medicated, eating premium food, and comforted by volunteers, she is recovering beautifully.  Velvet is a gentle Lhasa-Poo, 3 years of age, good with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please help find Velvet a hero who will ensure she never knows disregard or cruelty again.
