Christian

Image
Christian intently assesses new people to determine whether they intend to hurt him. He is docile and wants to run if he's unsure.  We do not know what Christian has endured, but he exhibits the emotional scars that usually come from being in a cruel, loveless home.  Please be patient with him as he comes to learn and understand what a magnificent boy he is.  Christian is a Labrador Retriever & Flat-Coated Retriever mix, 3 years young, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity.

Starlet

Starlet is beginning to understand she is worthy of love.    She is a young Cocker Spaniel with tremendous loving potential, 1 year of age, good with other dogs, now spayed and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. We suspect Starlet was never once brushed or groomed prior to her rescue. Her coat was so matted we had to have it entirely shaved away to give her a fresh start.    Starlet is surprised when the staff and volunteers pay attention to her. She tries to hide her face and hope no one notices her. Please be extraordinarily patient as she adjusts to you, your home, and your lifestyle.

Sandra

Sandra is full of character, an intelligent girl with tremendous potential. She has grown to love the staff and she is overjoyed and wiggling in happiness when they enter her kennel. But as the victim of prior abuse, she tries to block them from bringing in mops, brooms, or any other large object she perceives as a weapon. Sandra is making beautiful progress though and building a bit more trust and confidence each day. She is ready to be adopted by a hero who will patiently continue helping her improve and adjust (and realize that she will never again be the victim of violence or rage). Sandra is an attractive Heinz 57 with Shepherd with gold & creaming coloring, 4 years of age and spayed, housetrained, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Her left ear is scarred from dog bites and she is picky about which dogs she will trust.
