Heathcliff

Heathcliff loves to nurture other big dogs. He envelops them with his arms in a giant hug and licks their faces and necks to soothe them. Other dogs mean the world to Heathcliff . His experiences with humans have included fear and violence. He was at another shelter this spring that asked for our help because he was so afraid of people. Now, four months later, thanks to the dedication of staff and volunteers, Heathcliff realizes people can be kind. He desperately wants to know that you are happy with him.    Heathcliff is a Rottweiler & Shepherd mix, 4 years of age and neutered, triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .

Sasha

Sasha , a petite mom, is now spayed and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue she still had milk and we offered her 6 rescued motherless newborns who needed a surrogate mom.  Sasha eagerly accepted and immediately gave each of them exceptional care.  (These babies are now in a loving foster home until they are old enough to be spayed/neutered).  If you look closely at the second picture, on the far right, you'll see that she also accepted a motherless baby bunny for surrogate parenting.  Sasha is 5 years of age with blue & cream coloring (dilute tortoiseshell) and she is terrific with adults cats too.

I want to comfort everyone around me.

Reina is a young girl, but she is very maternal and likes to mother other cats and comfort them.  She is beautiful in spirit and appearance, 2 years of age, now spayed and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Reina is very social and cries if she gets lonely, so we prefer adopting her to a home with another cat.   At the time of rescue Reina was found on the streets, and pregnant.  Veterinarians believed that due to extreme stress of abandonment, she miscarried four kittens. Special thanks to Pet'ographique for these terrific portraits to help her find an indoor-only, forever home.
