Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Bailey Christian Nathan Bailey , Christian , and Nathan -- baby boys saved earlier this summer from unconscionable horror -- are now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    The brothers are exceptionally attractive and sweet Balinese mixes, 7 months of age and neutered, and good with other felines.  Please kitten-proof your home for their safety. **Warning: Graphic background details below. All three babies survived. Nonetheless, the facts below may be too disturbing for some readers. At the time of rescue, a married couple and their two young children witnessed a man in motion to behead Christian with a hammer over the edge of an apartment complex dumpster. They stopped him and forcefully confiscated the three kittens from him and rushed them to Nevada SPCA for safety. (The criminal was reported to the police, other authorities, and the apartment manager.) The wife and husband were still visibly shaken by the evil they had...

Wonderful news to share! Gabriel was adopted moments ago by his foster parents, making him the first of the 35 rescued Blond Angels to find a forever home. Gabriel had never been in a loving home before, so he cried the first night until his foster dad, Curtis, slept on the floor beside him.    His new mom, Jennifer, is wonderful too and she says Gabriel enjoys sitting on his sister's (Tia) back on the couch while he looks out the window and surveys the neighborhood (as pictured here). More details on the 35 Blond Angels .

Thank you very much to Ellen, an exceptionally dedicated foster parent for rescued newborns, for creating an online fundraiser specifically designed to prepare our foster program for the many hundreds of pregnant animals and rescued newborns expected this spring!

Merry Christmas Eve from all of us at Nevada SPCA and best wishes to you and all of your loved ones! We cannot thank you enough for all you do to help rescue & rehabilitate animals in need, particularly those with advanced challenges. Coeur D'Or ("Golden Heart"), pictured here, was just rescued this morning, along with 17 others from another shelter -- innocent lives being saved because so many of you share our belief that every soul is precious and support Nevada SPCA's lifesaving work through adoptions, donations, fostering, volunteering, and/or sharing posts on social media.

Petey's hero and new dad, Mike, says Petey adapted to his new home and canine siblings quickly.  He follows Mike around the house and especially notices when he goes to the kitchen.  Mike says Petey's energy levels are great for his age and he enjoys daily walks.  We rescued Petey from another shelter last month and couldn't be happier for him!

Tears of joy with this update! At long last, Dazzler & Derby have been adopted!! They both had huge, beaming smiles this afternoon as they were being adopted to an incredible couple. We already have an update that the two are loving their new large home and yard. Deepest thanks to Orelle and our other volunteers who share our never-give-up attitude. They have worked hundreds of hours to succe ssfully socialize these two. (Orelle spent an hour per day with Dazzler & Derby this past winter and spring before returning to England for the summer.)  At the time we rescued Dazzler & Derby from another shelter, they were nearly feral (undomesticated), severely neglected and terrified of people.  Special thanks also to Pet'ographique for this remarkable portrait.

A family evacuating their mountainside home on July 5 due to the fires near Mt. Charleston spotted this young girl racing down the hill too.  Their car was full of people and belongings, but they scooped her up and squeezed her in.  Since then volunteers and staff have been trying to find a previous owner, to no avail.  She had no sign of responsible ownership (no ID tag, no microchip ID, etc.). Further, she was unspayed and it was clear she had been bred for puppies.  We named her Ellie and had her spayed.  Ellie is a tuxedo Bully mix with an affectionate nature and a delightful prance to her walk.  She is 1 year young and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

At the time of rescue, Mindi was at another shelter and she had been hit by a car.  We took her to a veterinary hospital and her right hind leg was too badly broken to be saved.  But Mindi is adjusting well to life on three legs, living in the moment, now bouncy and peppy to be feeling better and having a fresh start for a better life and future.  Mindi is a 7-pound angel, a pretty Miniature Pinscher, 1 year young, spayed girl, good with other dogs, triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Special thanks to donors to Nevada SPCA's advanced medical care fund for making her rescue & rehabilitation possible.

We urgently need loving foster homes today for 8 very young rescued puppies.  Please visit Nevada SPCA in person before 4pm and ask for Lara if you can help.  Sherry , pictured here, is one of four Chihuahua puppies about 1 month of age rescued from a person who was getting rid of them in front of a grocery store.  The puppies were panting in the sun and getting dehydrated.  In addition, we have three rescued Border Collie mix puppies and a Bully mix puppy who also need foster homes.  Please help us reach people today so we can find heroes for these babies.

Tiki's loving potential is enormous!  She is smart and eager to please, and this golden young girl craves attention and kind guidance.  Tiki is a lovely Australian Shepherd & Border Collie mix, 1 year of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Tiki needs a hero because she is quite bashful and needs more socialization.  Once she understands how she fits into this world, her personality will soar and shine.

Dynasty is at most peace lying back in your arms, cuddling, soaking up reassurance and goodwill.  The victim of long-term neglect, his starvation for attention is understandable.  Dynasty is adjusting to life with one eye (as his left eye could not be saved).  He is a gentle Chihuahua, young at heart at about 9-10 years of age, neutered, great with dogs and people.  Please help us find Dynasty a hero.

Update: Willie was adopted on February 22nd! Willie would love a home with a wading pool in the backyard, and maybe the chance to make some summer trips to the lake. His love for water is too cute.  We often find him relaxing with his paws in his water bowl.  Or if he is in an especially playful mood he will just carry the water bowl around in his mouth to get our attention. Willie is a distinguished Labrador Retriever mix, neutered boy, about 6 years of age. He needs a hero.   He has such enthusiasm for life, but visitors seem to overlook him and the months have rolled by.  Perhaps it is because he is still recovering from abuse and can be anxious around young kids.  Or because he needs a high-calorie food and plenty of treats. But staff and volunteers are enthralled with Willie and find him especially endearing and devoted.  Please come meet him and give him consideration. Special thanks to the good people at Pet'ographique for this beauti...

Update: Lila was adopted on October 23rd! Gentle people with tender touches and soft voices are the guardian angels for baby animals and special needs animals who have a fragile hold on life. These foster parents do not seek the limelight or financial reward.  They are volunteers who generously share their love, time, and talents to help innocent life in desperate need find hope. Lila is alive today thanks to a foster mom.  She had been abandoned by her previous owner and was battling multiple infections that put her life at risk. Lila valiantly made a full recovery.  She is now spayed and debuting for adoption. She is a humble, sensitive girl who will do best home in a calm home environment. Lila is an orange tabby with a vivid "M" marking on her forehead and bright, round eyes.  She has a medium-hair coat and will need weekly brushing.

Update: Dust Bunny was adopted on October 21st! Many of the homeless, motherless newborn kittens we rescued during the past few months have Dust Bunny to thank for their survival. Most arrived terrified and screaming for mothers they no longer had.  But once we fed them with eye-droppers to fill their starving bellies, we gave them to Dust Bunny , and the screaming stopped.  She pulled them close to her, licking them to both clean and comfort them, giving the babies the all-important nurturing they needed to survive.  And she stayed with them, socializing them as if they were her own. Previously, Dust Bunny was rescued herself.  One of our staff found her and her newborn kittens stuffed in a box by a dumpster.  Our staff recognized that her maternal care was exceptional, and when her own babies were old enough and needed to be separated from her (to be spayed/neutered and adopted), we asked Dust Bunny to help with a litter of motherless newborn kittens...
