Doodlebug's triumphant recovery!

Image
Doodlebug's remarkable triumph over malnutrition and extreme neglect! This precious baby girl debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Doodlebug lays her head on your shoulder when you carry her in your arms. She has an angelic temperament and she is a Heinz 57 with Bully, now 4 months of age and spayed. On July 22, the day of her rescue from another shelter (picture 2), Doodlebug could not walk.  Click here for a 14-second video of her on that day.  Her front legs were weak and curled inward to such an extent she could not balance on them. We took her to an advanced veterinary care specialty center and the veterinarians there determined that the problem was not birth defects, but instead malnutrition and unconscionable confinement. (They suspect her previous owners had her in some type of enclosure where she was unable to walk.) They outlined a therapy and food plan for Doodlebug and hoped she could make a full recovery. ...

Bentley

Bentley , a very gentle soul, is steadily recovering from starvation. He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his emaciated condition.    Bentley has been eating premium, nutritious food with us for several weeks now, gaining some weight and energy, and his progress needs to continue for many weeks more.    He has improved enough now though that he can debut for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Bentley is a Rottweiler, 5 years of age and neutered, and good with other large and friendly dogs. Rottweiler knowledge is needed for his adoption please.

Shakespeare

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.

What does it feel like to be loved?

Angel is a very petite, dainty young Papillon mix recovering from severe malnutrition.  She yearns for love and adoration and the feeling of being safe.  Angel is 1 year of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She was in very poor, underweight condition, with splotchy hair loss, at the time of rescue.  But Angel is now on premium, probiotic food and we have seen substantial improvements in her energy levels and appearance already.  Please help Angel find a hero who will adopt her and help her continue to reach her full loving potential.
