Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Angelica , transformed emotionally and physically, is a longtime resident ready to love someone dearly forever.    While her physical improvement has been gradual (weight loss on premium food), her emotional improvement appeared to be overnight. Before, she was terrified of her caretakers. Now, suddenly, she cannot get enough hugging and cuddling! Angelica is a snow-white Chihuahua with cream color splotches on her back. She is 7 years of age, spayed, housetrained, good with dogs, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.    Angelica needed us when her previous owners moved away without her and she had a very difficult time handling the trauma of the abandonment. Angelica in January, shortly after her rescue

Bradford , triumphantly recovering from extreme pain and despair, has remarkably improved, physically and emotionally.    He is a young, small Heinz 57 with Jack Russell Terrier, good with other dogs, and he is now neutered and ready for a hero adoption at Nevada SPCA. At the time of rescue, Bradford was hairless and his skin was so inflamed and infected that it hurt for anyone to even touch him gently. He had noncontagious mange, which his previous owners did not have treated, resulting in severe bacterial infections throughout his skin. Bradford has learned that it no longer hurts to be touched. Following 8 weeks of treatment, his infections are gone, his skin continues healing, and he is re-growing hair. (There are some patches of scar tissue that may never re-grow hair.) He asks for a very kind hero to help him continue reaching his full loving potential.

Cecil is transforming and filling with hope!    At the time of his rescue, after being abandoned in a family's yard, he was so obese he could not walk and so matted we could not determine his gender. Many years of extreme neglect had put him in perilous health. Now, three months later, Cecil has energy and good cheer. He lifts his head to greet us and can join us for very short and slow walks. After shaving his coat we discovered a small tumor on his head, which was successfully removed at a veterinary hospital. Cecil is humble and gentle with people and amiable with dogs. He is a Cockapoo, 7 years of age, neutered, and triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org).    We want to find a responsible home where Cecil's progress will continue with premium nutritious food and light exercise and warm encouragement.

Lulu's physical and emotional recovery has been remarkable and she is ready for adoption in the Lovebugs Room at Nevada SPCA.  She is a sweet Agouti bunny, spayed girl, about 4 years of age.  Lulu was found in poor condition abandoned outside of an apartment complex.  She has thrived with fresh daily salads and gentle attention. Lulu now let us touch her and rub her ears.  Special thanks to Pet'ographique for her beautiful portrait.

Gracie, June 12, the day of her rescue.  Gracie , who nearly perished from starvation, has bloomed into a volunteer favorite (they call her "baby hippo") who delights in playing with kids, splashing in wading pools, and leaning onto the people who cuddle her.    Today, Gracie triumphantly debuts for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Gracie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, 5 years of age, spayed, and housetrained.    She was captured at a construction site months ago in such emaciated and dehydrated condition that we rushed her to a veterinary hospital for IV fluids for two days. Her veterinarian said she would not have survived another day on her own. Gracie's physical and emotional recovery was helped by time spent in a loving foster home. Her foster dad says she adores people of all ages and can get along with some large dogs (if fed separa...
