Rebel

Image
Rebel cannot walk long distances, so he is overjoyed to climb in his red wagon to join you, especially if you take him to a wading pool for soaking or under a tree for a picnic with lots of snacks. Rebel is a rescued Beagle for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    He is 6 years of age, neutered, and fine with other dogs (if fed separately). He has neurological damage (birth defect or old injury) and walks with small steps (and he'll wobble and fall if you ask him to walk too far).    We admire Rebel's glowing and positive spirit. He cherishes the quality time with volunteers, including Donna, who said she will contribute this red canvas wagon to the person who adopts Rebel and gives him a forever home.

Rebel

Image
Rebel is a kind, easy-going Beagle asks for a hero. He walks with small steps and sometimes gets wobbly. He was diagnosed with neurological damage (old injury or birth defects), but he is not in pain. Special precautions needed stairs, pools, and other potential hazards. Rebel is 6 years of age, neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. He can be around other dogs, but only if fed meals and treats separately. Please help find someone wonderful for Rebel .  We rescued him from another shelter and his background is otherwise unknown.

Zoey

Zoey purrs her heart out joyfully when you sit or lay on the floor next to her for cuddling.  She is an exceptionally affectionate girl with blue & cream coloration (dilute tortoiseshell), 9 years of age, spayed, good with other cats, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Zoey prefers crawling to walking, due to neurological damage (from an unknown massive trauma), and gets scared if you lift her off the ground.  Having beds and spots for her low to the floor are ideal for her comfort.  Please help find a hero for Zoey .

Benny

  Update 2: Benny has been adopted! Update 1: New information came to light since his original post indicating that Benny is 20 years of age, not 15. Benny , 20, is happiest in your arms, burying his face in your neck and purring contentedly. He also loves other cats. Benny's previous owner died. He has some minor neurological damage (from an old trauma that we have no details about) and cannot jump, but he walks and eats and cuddles regularly. Benny is ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Special thanks to Pet'ographique for his endearing portraits to help find him a hero.

Angelica

Angelica's special needs in no way diminish the love she is offering to the hero who adopts her.  She is a Toy Fox Terrier, 1 year of age, compatible with other small dogs.  Whether the result of birth defect or early life trauma, Angelica's neurological system is unique and she is partially blind and unable to walk in a straight line.  She calms when you cradle her and enjoys playing with toys that make crunchy sounds when she chews on them.  Angelica can walk in circular motions and quickly learns new rooms and adjusts to them well.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for showcasing Angelica so beautifully in these portraits.  Please ask for DJ when you visit Nevada SPCA for special assistance with Angelica .

Uno needs a hero.

Image
Uno enjoys sitting upright like a meerkat.  When you tell him it's time for treats he throws his front arms above his head in an enthusiastic hallelujah! and his whole body wiggles with joy.  Uno is a young Chihuahua, 1 year of age and neutered, good with other dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Uno was at another shelter that asked for our help.  He had sustained massive trauma (from unknown source), resulting in partial blindness and neurological damage.  Uno cannot walk in a straight line, but instead shuffles and walks in a crawling manner to get where he wants to go.  He is not suffering and he has many years of unconditional love to share with the person who becomes his lifelong hero.

Ringo needs a hero.

Image
  Ringo is an angelic baby boy, 5 months of age, now neutered and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. At the time of rescue Ringo was about 8 weeks of age and a person found him on freeway, wounded and in shock, believed to have just been thrown out of a moving vehicle. Ringo has healed beautifully, thanks to veterinary care and foster care.  But his neurological damage from the incident affects his balance and results in him being unable to jump. Ringo scoots and crawls, surprisingly well, and likes to snuggle against you and lick your hand while you're petting him.

Nobody has more unconditional love than me.

We love Am ber's jovial personality and she is an inspiration.     She concentrates to walk, often high-stepping or doing exaggerated steps, due to neurological deficiencies (which her veterinarian believes she was born with).    But Amber is ent husiastic to walk with you as she can, overjoyed to be spending fun time with you.    She is a lovely young Bully mix, 3 years of age and now spayed, ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.    Amber was found on the streets of Henderson, in estrus ("in heat"), with no sign of responsible ownership.    Please help us find her a hero.

I wish I could tell you how much I love you.

Luna is a captivating baby girl who has made a tremendous recovery and she triumphantly debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  At the time of rescue she was at another shelter with a very severe hip injury, perhaps due to a long fall from a stairway or roof, and some neurological damage.  Thanks to generous donors for advanced medical care, we had hip surgery for Luna , and she is recovering better than expected.  Volunteers have patiently taken her for slow walks, helping her get her coordination back.  Luna may not fully recover normal walking, but she is getting around now quite well without pain or discomfort.  Luna is a junior puppy, a Bully mix with a beautiful spirit, about 9 months of age and spayed.  Luna loves people with all of her heart and seems to get along well with other dogs.
