Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Paul has improved so dramatically he is no longer recognizable from the time of his rescue when he was depressed and obese. These pictures were taken this morning after he played with a dedicated volunteer and he was beaming. Thanks to the volunteers, staff, and his probiotic diet, Paul has trimmed up nicely (gradually, over the months) and has so much more energy and spirit. A light-hearted demeanor has replaced a serious, wary disposition. Paul is a Husky & Yellow Labrador Retriever mix, 8-9 years of age, neutered, good with some dogs (more so with each passing week), housetrained, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Sheila & Samantha are great with children of all ages. These young girls are also housetrained and compatible with other friendly dogs.    They are bonded for life, together forever, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Sheila is 3 years of age and spayed, a gorgeous Husky & Shepherd mix. Samantha is a medium-size Labrador Retriever mix, 1 year of age and spayed.    The girls needed us because of their previous owners' financial hardship.

O'Dell , a glowing and joyful junior puppy, debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is eager to love and find his place in the world. O'Dell is good with cats, dogs, and mature kids.    He is a cute blend of many breeds (likely including Chow Chow, Husky, and Shar Pei), 7 months of age and neutered.    O'Dell loves to chat (through moans and grunts, not barks) and he is particular about how he likes things and may tell you all about it.    He needed us due to his previous owner's allergy to him.

Deja is feeling lost at the moment, confused about why she lost her home and what happened to her previous family.  (Their financial hardship resulted in Deja needing us to find her a new home.) This endearing girl has so much to offer.  Her tender spirit is readily evident and she gives high-fives and low-fives when she is happy and wants your attention. Deja is also reportedly housetrained, crate-trained, and compatible with other friendly dogs and kind, older kids. She is a beautiful mix of Shepherd and Husky, spayed, about 4 years of age, and debuting for adoption today.  Please visit and ask for her by name.

Update: Desert Rose was adopted on October 23rd! Bigger dogs, like Desert Rose , eagerly await daily visitors, often with wagging tails and smiles. But the truth is that most people walk right past them and head for the areas where smaller dogs and Toy breeds are kenneled. Desert Rose has been with us for months, and while staff and volunteers adore her and take her frequently into the courtyard for exercise, we can only remember one visitor even asking to meet her. So we need to shine a spotlight on Desert Rose and encourage everyone to give her, and the many other big dogs here, a good second look.  This stunning portrait, courtesy of Pet'ographique , is a wonderful way to launch Desert Rose's campaign for new attention. Desert Rose is a gorgeous blond blend of Collie and Husky breeds.  She is spayed, housetrained, loving, and about 6 years of age.  Since she sometimes play-bites when in play, she needs an experienced home with no toddlers or young childre...

Update: Mojave was adopted on August 25th! Gorgeous inside and out, Mojave shines with love. She is very friendly and submissive, full of unconditional love, and ready to share her bright nature with you. Mojave is most likely a Smooth-Coated Collie & Husky mix. She is spayed and approximately 6 years of age. Mojave enjoys other sweet dogs and she is reportedly housetrained and compatible with kind kids. Please visit Nevada SPCA and ask for this sweetheart by name. Mojave is an endearing girl who brings a bit of heaven with her everywhere she goes.

Update: All of the Pound Cake Puppies were adopted on or before May 10th! Each a bundle of fun and affection, the six " Pound Cake Puppies " are exceptionally sweet. Four sisters ( Brenda, Chastity, Edwina, and Fancy ) and their two brothers ( Albert and Donavan ) debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. The Pound Cake Puppies were rescued when just a few weeks old, along with their mother, Butters. (Momma has already been adopted.) Her six babies have been in a very caring foster home, but they are now spayed/neutered and 3 months of age. The puppies love to give sloppy kisses and play in their water bowls. We do not know what breed their father is, but their mother is a medium-size, golden Husky and Shepherd mix. The Pound Cake Puppies can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting a pair for lifetime companionship and unconditional love.

Butters lost her home and family at the worst time, after giving birth to 6 puppies. Her babies remain in a foster home and all 6 are thriving. Butters is now spayed and debuting for adoption today. She is a medium-size girl with sad, expressive eyes, most likely a Shepherd and Husky mix (though smaller than both of those breeds). She is approximately 7 years of age. Butters adores women and teenagers, but is reportedly timid with some men. And while she has been housetrained in the past, she spent the past year living outdoors only on a ranch-style property, so please be patient with her on completing housetraining again. This smart girl is fine with some dogs (though she takes the alpha role) and she is apparently a good escape artist, so a very secure home and yard are necessary for her safety. Full of devotion, we believe Butters will bloom beautifully in a committed, loving home . Please visit and ask for her by name.

Update: Lilly was adopted on October 8th! You want to smile every time you look at Lilly's face. She radiates joy and innocence. Lilly is a gorgeous Siberian Husky with sky-blue eyes. She is spayed and approximately one year of age. Lilly is compatible with some other dogs. She lost her previous home due to "chewing" -- but this is a natural, necessary behavior, especially for young dogs. The key is giving good guidance to direct chewing to appropriate toys and treats. Siberian Husky knowledge and/or experience is required. Please also plan on regular brushing and good hygiene for her.

Update: Shiloh was adopted on September 14th! Shiloh is a gorgeous young girl who radiates joy. Her love for life is contagious and seeing her makes you want to smile. But she is loyal and protective to a fault. She needs an experienced owner who will help her learn that her "job" is to have fun and be a family companion, not to be a guard dog. We know Shiloh will thrive with basic dog obedience training. We have had her evaluated by a professional dog trainer who saw enormous potential in her, partially due to her intelligence and eagerness to please. Please only consider her if you are 100% committed to this training. It is extremely important that Shiloh re-orients her thinking on what role she is to have with her new owner and/or family. Shiloh is a medium-size Heinz 57, perhaps with Akita or Husky. She is a spayed female, approximately one year of age. Please help her realize her full loving potential.

Update: Glacier was adopted on May 28th! Glacier is an exceptionally cute and adorable Siberian Husky puppy. He is neutered and approximately 3-4 months of age. He lost his home due to something outside of his control, and probably temporary. Like many puppies, he "piddles" (releases small amounts of urine) when overly excited or nervous. This is involuntary, so it is absolutely critical not to punish or scold him for it. Veterinarians generally agree that full bladder control comes at approximately 6 months of age for most dogs. Glacier debuts in Adoptions today. An owner with Siberian Husky knowledge and/or experience is strongly preferred, along with a 100% commitment to dog obedience training.

Update: Big Blue was adopted on November 27th! Big Blue is like a teddy bear which has come to life. He's gentle, friendly, unassuming, and loyal. This huge, lovable boy is so well-behaved he will make a wonderful fit into most family situations. You can trust him around kind children, and he is housetrained, plus he is good with other dogs. Big Blue is most likely a Labrador Retriever and Siberian Husky mix. He has the most beautiful eyes, one warm and brown, the other cool and blue. He is a neutered male, approximately 8 years of age. We rescued him from another shelter. If you are seeking an affectionate, cheerful dog for your family, please trust us that it would be a giant mistake to overlook this exceptional boy! Please come visit with Big Blue in our courtyard today. Addendum: Big Blue was adopted, but returned due to being aggressive with cats.
