Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Vanessa wants people to like her and worries that strangers might disapprove.  She is a tender-hearted Pekingese mix, 5 years of age and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Vanessa was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her fear of being touched on her mouth or belly.  We do not know what she has endured, but she is responding well to people with gentle voices.  A calm, adult-only home is ideal for Vanessa .

Martina leans her head on the people she trusts.  She is desperate for kindness and fearful that she will be hurt again. We don't know what Martina endured, but her flinching from fast hand movements (among other signs) suggests she has been deeply hurt and abused.  Martina is a Cocker Spaniel mix, 3 years young and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for a hero adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  She was at another shelter that asked for our help due to her severe timidity.

Austin howls and cries when he is lonely. He is a social boy and beams when you praise him or sit close to him.    Austin is a Chocolate Doberman Pinscher, 8 years of age and neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . Austin was found in horrific condition on the streets by a kind woman. Besides extreme obesity, the food he was eating was not nutritious, resulting in hair loss, dry skin, and itching. All attempts to trace his microchip ID to a previous owner were unsuccessful. At the shelter, Austin is now eating premium food and he is on thyroid medication and improving a bit more each day.    Please share his picture to help him find a hero so he will never be neglected so terribly again.

Majesty , embarking on a fresh start, now lifts his head and there's shine in his eyes.    After years of disregard and a near-death experience, he is about to find out what a loving home feels like. Majesty was found tied up under a dumpster only minutes before the trash truck arrived. He was forlorn, keeping his chin planted on the ground, and in severe, matted condition indicating years of neglect. The man who spotted him assured Majesty that he wanted to help him and he was able to pick Majesty up without any attempt at biting or nipping. Majesty is a Silky Terrier, 6 years of age and neutered, and good with other dogs. He is now groomed, on a premium food plan, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .

Laker , bright-eyed at 7 years of age, eagerly awaits for words of reassurance from his caretakers that everything is going to be okay. In these pictures we are telling him that a loving forever home could come as soon as today! Laker is a gentle, pensive boy, a tri-color Chihuahua mix, 7 years of age and neutered, housetrained, good with dogs and older kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .    His previous owner surrendered him and honestly relayed that she wanted him to know a more loving and caring home than she could provide.

Colleen , a young angel, reveals devastating pain in her eyes. She does not yet realize that she is forever safe from violence. Colleen is a tender-hearted Terri-Poo, 2 years of age, good with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . *** Sensitive Reader Warning *** At the time of rescue Colleen was witnessed being punched repeatedly in the face by a dog breeder. The witnesses were so traumatized by the evil rage they did not think to get his license plate number (to submit to government authorities for prosecution). But the witnesses were successful in rescuing Colleen and five other dogs he was exploiting for the breeding of puppies to sell. Fast movements and loud voices understandably terrify Colleen . Please be extraordinarily patient, comforting, and understanding as she adjusts to you, your loving home, and your lifestyle routine.

Rocko , 14, inspires us with his youthful spirit. He finds joy in every social moment and loves meeting new people. Rocko is reportedly a Jack Russell & Boston Terrier mix. He is housetrained & crate-trained, compatible with older kids and some dogs, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . Rocko needed us due to his previous owners' divorce and resulting financial hardship. Please share his post to help find him a hero.

Glory kisses the cheeks of women who are very kind and gentle with her.    She is a Yorkshire Terrier mix, 4 years of age and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . We rescued Glory from another shelter where she was trembling. She is terrified of men and sometimes hides her face in their presence hoping they don't notice her. We do not know what Glory has endured.    She wants to believe in people and responds beautifully to soft, reassuring voices.

Analee , humble and bashful, deeply appreciates all kindness.    She is recovering exceptionally well from emaciation and starvation, thanks to the tender care of a foster family. Analee is a young Boxer mix, housetrained, good with cats & dogs & kids, 1 year of age and spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .    She was at another shelter that asked for our help due to running out of space. Please be sure to keep Analee on a very steady meals and treats schedule. This will help her understand that she will never experience desperate hunger again.

Benji is now shining and on his way to reaching his full loving potential!  He is a boy with exceptional good looks, Heinz 57 with Terrier, 6 years of age and neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA .  Benji was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity and intolerance of strangers.  He has accepted the kindness of staff and volunteers very well. Benji can continue blooming in an experienced home with a steady lifestyle routine.

Mateo , an earnest youngster recovering from severe neglect, is eager to know what a loving home feels like.    He is a friendly Poodle mix, 1 year of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA . Mateo was so matted at the time of rescue that he was unrecognizable. A man found him wandering the streets with nowhere to go and no sign of responsible ownership.    Please be patient with Mateo as he adjusts to you, your home, and your lifestyle.

Trixie , now groomed and eating premium food, is unrecognizable from the tangled, matted condition she was suffering from at the time of her rescue on the streets.  She is a delightful Miniature Schnauzer, about 6 years of age and spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .

Lucy , now healed so beautifully from being run over by a car, triumphantly debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  This endearing youngster deeply appreciates every act of kindness.  Lucy is a blond Terrier & Toy mix, 2 years of age, good with other dogs and now spayed.  At the time of rescue she was found prone in a street with a severe head wound. Thank you to the donors who made her care and healing possible.

Thunderbird loves when you notice his charm! The more you react with smiles and good cheer, the more he keeps showing off and revealing his personality. He is a Rottweiler, 1 year of age, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . Thunderbird was at another shelter that asked for our help. A previous owner apparently taunted him with toys (cruel deprivation) and violently disciplined him. Thunderbird worries that his toys and food will get stolen from him and that every correction is a potential traumatic experience. We believe in the goodness of this young boy. A very experienced, adult-only home can help him perceive humans in a different way with a steady lifestyle routine and kind home environment.

Camaro longs for the best of human nature from now on to help nurture his spirit and help him reach his full loving potential. He is a young, attractive Retriever mix, 3 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . We do not know the traumas Camaro endured. He was at another shelter that asked for our help because he is afraid of people touching his belly and he fears that other dogs want to hurt him.    We want to find Camaro a very gentle and patient hero for life.

Raphael , a young boy terrified of human hands, wants to believe in people despite the cruelty he endured.    Hold him close and praise him and he will lick his lips or your shirt to humbly accept your kindness. Raphael was at another shelter that asked for our help. He is a cute and sensitive Miniature Pinscher mix, 3 years of age and neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.   We believe Raphael will adjust best in a home with a big sister or brother dog. Please share his picture to help find him a lifelong hero.

Suzette's story is heartbreaking. She survived and all of her babies are alive too, so now our focus is on finding her a very gentle hero to shower her with benevolence. Suzette is a young Italian Greyhound & Chihuahua mix, 2 years of age, good with other dogs, and now spayed and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . *** Caution to sensitive readers *** At the time of rescue Suzette had been abused. (Our efforts to track down her abusers were not successful.) The horror of the betrayal of her innocence was even worse because she was pregnant. We worried Suzette may lose some or all of her babies. We placed her in a loving, nurturing foster home. She birthed her babies there and all were alive and healthy. (Her babies will remain in foster care until ready for adoption.) Suzette is blind in her left eye (due to prior injury or birth defect). She worries that strangers want to hurt her and she can be nippy when espec...

Cindy , so desperate for kindness and peace-of-mind, is ready to bloom. Burdened with despair and confusion, she walks slowly and hangs her head to the ground. But sit close to her and talk sweet, and soon she will lift her chin and accept your touch. Cindy is a Labrador Retriever with tremendous loving potential. She is 6 years of age, spayed, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .    Cindy is 1 of 18 animals we have rescued so far from a defunct animal organization and her background is otherwise unknown. Please share Cindy's picture to help find her a lifelong hero.

Milan is recovering from starvation and he is desperate to know what a loving home feels like. He is not used to people paying attention to him. We look in his eyes and he thinks he has done something wrong. But Milan is beginning to bloom. Other dogs around help him with feeling confident. He doesn't know how to walk on a leash, but if you kneel down and talk softly and look away, Milan will crawl to your lap to see if you will let him sit close to you. He is a slender, cute Border Collie mix, 1 year young, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .    Please share Milan's picture to help find a hero.

"Can you see the love in my eyes?" Rembrandt , 3 years young, is a tender-hearted boy asking for someone to devote himself to for life. He is a Chihuahua mix, good with other dogs, neutered, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA . We rescued Rembrandt from another shelter that asked for our help. He was trembling in fear. We don't know what traumas Rembrandt endured, he had to be confiscated by officers from his previous home (for reasons unknown). Please share Rembrandt's picture to help him get a fresh start with someone kind and nurturing.
