Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Alex , 14, with eyes full of wonder and hope, seems to realize he is getting a brand new start and may finally know what a loving home feels like.  He is a Pomeranian, gentle and kind, good with other dogs, neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Alex was found on the streets in such matted, shocking condition that we suspect he had not been brushed or groomed in many years.  We hope you will share his picture to help him find a hero.

Brady is so light-hearted and agile we keep forgetting that he's not a puppy and doesn't have four legs. He is terrific with cats, dogs, and kids, plus housetrained too. Brady is a Wirehaired Fox Terrier & Miniature Schnauzer mix, 5 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He adjusted to only one hind leg long ago (and we don't know what happened). Brady's previous owner was reportedly very ill and he was being neglected. We hope Brady never loses his puppy-like innocence.

Valentino is a tender-hearted young boy with tremendous loving potential and he debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. One of his neighbors noticed he was always kept outdoors and never received affection or attention. When his owner moved out of the country, Valentino was left behind and abandoned, then brought to us for safety. Valentino is surprised to receive attention. So he's sometimes more comfortable having you just sit peacefully beside him, talking softly, avoiding direct eye contact. We believe he will thrive best with a big sister or brother dog for guidance. Valentino is 1 year of age, a Terrier & Toy mix (with black skin under one eye and pink skin under his other eye), and now neutered.    Please help find a hero for Valentino .

Ruby yearns to know what it feels like to be loved.    She is a beautiful Heinz 57 with Aussie Shepherd and other breeds, 5 months of age and spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. You may recall seeing Ruby's sister, Pearl , who was posted and adopted this past week.    Like Pearl, Ruby is recovering from severe neglect that resulted in maiming of the tips of her ears and potential food protectiveness due to experiencing desperate hunger. Ruby loves kind people and she gets along well with other dogs (if fed separately). Both Ruby and Pearl were rescued from another shelter that asked for our help.

Pearl craves attention and kisses people who comfort and care for her.    She is a beautiful baby girl, perhaps an Australian Shepherd mix, about 5 months of age and spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Please puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety. Pearl was at another shelter that asked for our help. She had been the victim of severe neglect -- you can see the scarring/maiming of her ears from insects and the elements.    This included missing meals and knowing desperate hunger, so Pearl can be intense about food and reportedly won't tolerate another dog around her food bowl.    She has enormous loving potential and needs a very stable lifestyle routine to realize that she'll never go hungry or deprived again.

Theodore is getting a fresh start at 12 years of age and he's beginning to understand that he will finally discover what a loving home feels like. He is a 4-pound Yorkshire Terrier, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Theodore was found in severely neglected condition (matted, filthy, dental problems) and emotionally scarred (quick movements terrify him). We don't know what he has endured through the years, but at some point Theodore's jaw was broken and he can only eat soft food. He is good with other dogs and accepts kindness from gentle people. He is now groomed, had dental care, and been placed on a premium diet. Please share Theodore's picture and help us find him a hero.

Colby, March 20 Colby, March 19 Colby, March 19 Colby is brightening and understanding that loveless days are over and that his future may be full of adoration. He is a super cute Miniature Poodle, 10 years of age and neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Colby was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his severe neglect.  Special thanks to Hair of the Dog spa for cleaning and grooming him so handsomely to help give Colby a fresh start.

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.

Elmer now wears the smile of someone realizing that the bad days are past.  At 12 years of age, he is finding hope and there's a new spring in his step!  Elmer , a Cockapoo, was found in deplorable condition on a busy road in a commercial district, tremendously distressed and disoriented.  But now he is eating premium meals, his matted coat has been shaved away, and he's had dental care.  Elmer is good with other dogs, but still a bit testy with strangers until he gets to know and trust them.  The warts on his body and face are just cosmetic and natural with his aging.  Elmer triumphantly debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA and we ask for your help in finding him a hero.

Richard's feelings of worthlessness won't go away instantly.  But he is improving every day from very severe neglect.  Richard is a sensitive, adorable Cockapoo, 1 year young, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is good with other dogs and may benefit greatly from a big brother or sister dog to help him adjust.  Richard was in deplorable condition at another shelter that asked for our help because of his timidity.  We want to find Richard a stable, peaceful home where he can continue blooming.

Baby enjoys her catnip toys and taking naps in your lap.  She is a petite and amazingly cute Himalayan, 4 years of age, spayed girl, previously declawed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Baby is chatty and wants you to answer her meows and talk with her throughout the day.  She has reportedly been around small dogs and mature kids.  Baby is recovering from very severe neglect.  At the time of rescue she had severe matting (so we had to shave her coat to the skin on her body) and an eye infection.  Please help us find her a gentle, indoor-only home where she is pampered and cherished every day.

Charlie is an earnest boy who must wonder if he dares to let himself become hopeful again.  He was so matted, and likely unloved, at the time of rescue that we had to have his coat completely shaved off to give him a fresh start.  Charlie is a Miniature Poodle (21 pounds, larger than a Toy Poodle), about 7 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Charlie loves other dogs and he is beginning to believe in people.  An experienced home is needed for his continuing progress.  Please help Charlie find a hero to help him reach his full loving potential.

Francois is recovering from severe neglect.  He is not used to being handled much be people, but he's making steady progress with us every day and accepting kindness.  Francois is an especially cute American breed guinea pig, 18 months young, and now ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA in our Lovebugs Room.  An experienced home is needed to help him continue reaching his full loving potential.
