Buffy -- Before & After

Buffy , the gentlest angel, is in the twilight of her life and needs a hero.  She is not suffering and still brings kindness and love.  Buffy is a Cocker Spaniel, a teenager, spayed girl, good with dogs, ready for adoption (or forever foster) at Nevada SPCA.  Buffy is deaf and mostly blind, but she likes being in the sunshine and in bright rooms where she can partially see her surroundings.  She is so docile that she won't eat out of your hand, but instead waits for you to place the food or treats down so she doesn't accidentally bite you.  Buffy deserves a hero.  She was surrendered to us in severely neglected condition by her previous owner.  Special thank you to Hair of the Dog spa for cleaning and grooming her to give her a fresh start.

Lady -- Before & After

At the time we rescued Lady from another shelter, her previous owner had neglected her so severely she could not see through the tangles and filth in front of her eyes.  Hair of the Dog spa groomed her and revealed her expressive eyes.  Lady's "after" picture is so powerful because you can see her full of hope.  Lady is a Poodle & Shih-Tzu mix, 9 years of age, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Sugar's fresh start is beginning at 13 years of age.  She is a cheerful Poodle, spayed, good with other dogs, housetrained, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Sugar has diminished vision and hearing, or as we'd rather say, she still has some sight and she can hear some sounds.  At the time of rescue she was reportedly being taken to a veterinary clinic to be euthanized.  Sugar's spectacular grooming is courtesy of the caring people at Hair of the Dog spa and they gave her green ribbons and polish in tribute to St. Patrick's Day.  Please share this post to help find a hero for Sugar .

Rascal -- Before & After

Image
Morning of his debut for adoption Before his groom at Hair of the Dog spa After his groom at Hair of the Dog spa We commend the creativity of Hair of the Dog spa , who decided on a lamb-like haircut to save as much of Rascal's coat as possible.  The results are amazing and Rascal feels so much better.  Rascal is a Bichon Frise, 5 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is housetrained, good with other dogs, and spirited in personality (too fussy and irritable to be around young kids).  We also had dental care provided for Rascal that included cleaning and 14 teeth extractions.  Please help Rascal find a wonderful home where he will never be neglected again.

Beethoven & Shia are bright-eyed young English Springer Spaniel mixes debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  The boys were at another shelter and needed our help so they could stay together for life and get veterinary care for their ear infections.  They had been surrendered there in neglected condition with matted coats.  When together, they are overflowing with joy and curiosity about the world!  The boys are 1 year of age and neutered.  They need to remain together for life. Please help us find them a wonderful, responsible home where they will reach their full loving potential!
