Charleston

Image
Charleston , 3, a sunny boy, is adjusting well to life on three legs and walks politely with a waltz/prance.    He is an especially handsome Caroline Dog mix, 3 years of age and neutered, housetrained, good with dogs and older kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Charleston is afraid of loud voices. Speak to him gently and he beams.    At the time of rescue he was in acute distress. He had been struck by a vehicle, badly breaking his left front leg. His previous owners could not afford veterinary care and he had chewed off a portion of his leg.    Charleston is now fully healed from his amputation surgery and ready to bless someone wonderful with his lifelong unconditional devotion.

Mermaid

We rescued Mermaid earlier this autumn from another shelter.  Her left hind leg was severely broken in multiple places and veterinarians could not save it.  But Mermaid is adjusting well to life on three legs, thanks to healing and tender care in a foster home following her amputation surgery.  Mermaid is an affectionate, bashful junior puppy, 9 months of age and spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please share her pictures to help find her a wonderful, lifelong home where she will be treasured.
