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.

Tiny Tim, an incredibly lovable Olde English Bulldogge debuting for adoption.

Tiny Tim is 95 pounds of incredibly lovable sweetness, an Olde English Bulldogge debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tiny Tim is exceptionally friendly, about 5 years of age and now neutered. He needed us due to his previous owners' financial hardship. Tiny Tim is reportedly housetrained, crate-trained, good with children, and compatible with other dogs (except perhaps around food, though we have not witnessed any food aggression). We discovered that Tiny Tim is deaf, so the consistent use of hand signals and other body language is very important for communication with him.

Gabriel, a rescued Pomeranian -- an angel who needs a hero.

Gabriel is a little angel who only asks for kindness and compassion.  He is a cream-white Pomeranian, about 8 years of age, a neutered boy, good with other sweet dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue Gabriel was at another shelter that asked for our help because he needed dental care.  He had been surrendered there because his previous family had "no time for him".  Besides providing Gabriel with the dental care he needed, we discovered he is deaf.  (His previous family had reportedly complained that he "runs away".)  Gabriel needs and deserves a hero.  Please help us find him someone who will cherish him and never fail him again.

Fancy, a young and exuberant blue-eyed American Bulldog debuting for adoption.

Fancy is a vibrant, enthusiastic girl who is elated every time she sees you!  We hope she never loses her immense joy for life.  Fancy is a blue-eyed American Bulldog, 1 year young, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She cannot hear you, so consistent use of hand signals is important for communication with her.  Dog training will help her channel her abundant energy into good behaviors.  We rescued Fancy from another shelter.  Please help us find Fancy a hero.

I need your help and patience adjusting to my new reality, please.

Bowie reportedly recently lost his hearing in full, causing him some anxiety.  Hand signals for communication, a stable lifestyle routine, and an understanding to not startle him are very important to help him continue to adjust.  Bowie is a stunningly attractive Australian Cattle Dog mix, about 5-6 years of age, neutered boy, now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Bowie is reportedly housetrained and loves his toys.  An experienced, adult-only home is needed for his continued progress.  Please help us find Bowie a hero.

I just need to be understood.

Dozer is terrific with people and he loves big, enveloping hugs.  He is a handsome white Boxer, about 5 years of age, neutered, housetrained, good with mature kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Dozer has three special challenges and we ask for your help in finding this loving sweetheart a hero.  First, he is deaf and the consistent use of hand signals with him is needed.  (He already knows several signals.)  Second, he cannot be around any other dogs.  Third, he reportedly has at least mild separation anxiety (but does better, according to his previous owner, when he is wearing a Thundershirt).

Your body language is very important to me.

Rocky is a very kind young boy who likes to cuddle and be close to you.  He enjoys playing fetch and he is reportedly housetrained.  Rocky is reportedly a Bully & Retriever mix, medium-size, 1 year of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Like many other blue-eyed dogs with white coats, he is deaf.  Please use consistent hand signals with Rocky and take extra precautions puppy-proofing your home for his safety.  Rocky needed us because of his previous owner's home foreclosure.

I cannot hear your words, but I can easily read your body language.

Update: Lily was adopted on January 21st! Tiny, yet theatrical, Lily is as adorable as they come, completely precious. She is most likely a Shih-Tzu and Chihuahua mix, spayed female, about 3 months of age. We expect her to remain small in size. Lily was surrendered to us because she is deaf. Please only consider her if you are fully committed to her for her entire life and you are willing and able to learn and use consistent hand signals to communicate with her. Also, Lily will need you to take extra careful precautions puppy-proofing your home and yard for her safety and protection. Lily debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Let's learn lots of new hand signals together.

Update: Buddy was adopted on October 23rd! Buddy is a very fun-loving, handsome, and sometimes goofy boy with an outgoing personality. He is a white Boxer, neutered male, approximately 5-6 years of age. Besides being housetrained and crate-trained, Buddy is reportedly fine with most other dogs, including smaller dogs, and compatible with most cats. Boxer knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred. Buddy is deaf (or almost completely deaf). He knows two hand signals (for "sit" & "stay") and his new owner will need to work on additional, consistent signals to aid in communication with him. He is reportedly fine with older, mature children, but he lost his home because there was a child in the home who was not treating him kindly. Buddy debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
