Gabriel: "I'm a baby, named for an angel, ready to share unconditional love."

Image
We named Gabriel after an angel.  We see perfect innocence and kindness in his spirit. He is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix baby boy, 3 months of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org). At the time of rescue Gabriel was at another shelter.  Both ears were enlarged, swollen from severe head-shaking (hematoma/othematoma), likely due to ear infections or insects in his ear.  Gabriel's ear canals are now clean and veterinarians operated on his ears to fix the swelling.  The scarring is permanent, but will diminish somewhat in time and as his hair on his ears grows back. Gabriel adores people and dogs.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety.

Koko, a graceful senior Chi-Weenie, before & after pictures.

Koko, on her debut adoption day, July 20 Koko, at the time of rescue Koko is a graceful, older girl with a very kind spirit and she is now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. She is a Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua & Dachshund mix), about 13 years of age and spayed.  Koko enjoys other sweet dogs and she adores gentle people. At the time of rescue she was found abandoned outside of a veterinary clinic with an enormous abdominal tumor. We had Koko's tumor and a small growth removed and she has healed well.  Please help find Koko a hero who will cherish her, and let her live with dignity and love during her twilight years.

I was wounded and suffering, but I never gave up hope.

Corey is a chipper, wiggly, hopeful boy who often has the gusto of a puppy.  He is a handsome Lhasa Apso with mostly blue-silver coloring, about 5 years of age, neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue, several weeks ago, Corey was at another shelter with an open lower back wound infested with maggots.  Corey is now healing beautifully and he is ready to begin his new life.  Please help us find him a wonderful, loving, forever home.

I still have faith because more people are kind than cruel.

Moses is a wise, noble, heavenly senior who still believes in the goodness of people even after being abandoned in the desert.  He was found and transported to another shelter, which in turn requested Nevada SPCA's help because he had ear and eye infections and a severely matted and neglected coat.  Moses is now well, groomed, and feeling chipper, eager to start his new life.  He is a Cocker Spaniel, about 10 years of age, neutered, and good with other dogs.  Please help us find Moses a loving, forever home where he never again experiences ultimate rejection or cruelty.

I have seen and survived hardship no baby should have to endure.

Gus Gus is just a puppy, 7 months of age, but his eyes and demeanor suggest the wisdom and insight of a senior dog.  This may be because this baby boy triumphantly survived an often fatal disease.  Gus Gus was suffering from parvo at the time of rescue.  We rushed him into a veterinary hospital for emergency care.  He eventually made a full and complete recovery!  Gus Gus is a uniquely attractive Beagle & Dachshund mix, neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for his safety.  Special thanks to the generous, compassionate donors who enabled us to provide him with the advanced medical care necessary to save his life.

Bud, a young Chocolate Labrador triumphantly debuting for adoption today!

Bud loves to play fetch, chomp at water coming out of hoses, and snuggle in his favorite blankets.  He is a very good-looking Chocolate Labrador Retriever, 2 years young, neutered boy, debuting triumphantly for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Bud was near death at the time of rescue, emaciated, suffering from ear and lung infections.  The heroic efforts of his foster mom, a veterinary technician, during the past three months enabled him to make a full recovery.  She said he is now housetrained, learning good behaviors (including not eating human food off counters), and needs a very secure home and yard for his safety.
