Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Galant pleads for someone to love.  He cannot understand why he loses the people he gives his whole heart too. Galant fears every goodbye is forever, so he is distraught to see you leaving the house.  There is no instant fix for separation anxiety, but there are many small steps (including crate-training) that can be taken to diminish his anguish with time and patience, as he comes to realize you will never fail him.  Galant is a handsome German shepherd mix with golden eyes, 3 years young and neutered, and debuting for a hero adoption at Nevada SPCA .  He was at another shelter that asked for our help.  It appears Galant needs a one-dog household please.

Mickey , a cheery angel, glows with goodwill to everyone kind he meets.    He is a remarkably cute Shih-Tzu mix, 8 years of age and neutered, housetrained, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . Mickey was at another shelter that ran out of space and asked for our help.    He fears that every goodbye is forever -- separation anxiety -- so crate-training when he is home alone is strongly recommended for his emotional well-being.

Magoo is a gleaming young boy with an affectionate nature and ethereal eyes.  He debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Magoo is a Siberian Husky mix, perhaps with Australian Shepherd, 3 years of age and neutered, housetrained, and good with some dogs.    He may have some level of separation anxiety (fearing every goodbye is forever), so we strongly recommend crate-training when he is home alone.    We rescued Magoo from another shelter that asked for our help.    Please visit and ask for him by name.

Shelton is a devoted boy who only feels safe around the people and dogs he loves.  He is an exceptionally handsome Shetland Sheepdog, 5 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Shelton is compatible with cats and dogs, and housetrained, and he enjoys a game of fetch.  He reportedly has severe separation anxiety -- fear of abandonment, that every goodbye is forever -- so an experienced and committed owner is needed, along with a very stable lifestyle routine to help him continue improving. Sheltie knowledge is needed for his adoption.

We rescued Zeke from another shelter that said he had been abandoned so many times that he developed severe separation anxiety.  He reportedly panics that every departure is a final goodbye and cannot understand why the people he loves unconditionally keep rejecting him.  Zeke is good with other dogs and housetrained.  He is a cream & white Terrier & Toy mix, 5 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  While there are no instant fixes for separation anxiety, a very steady lifestyle routine and crate-training are some of the steps that can lead to diminished anxiety and better peace-of-mind.  Please help find Zeke a hero.

Buttercup craves kindness and gives doggie kisses to everyone who is nice to him.  He is a very attractive blend of Spaniel & Retriever (about 40 pounds), 4 years of age and neutered, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Buttercup is good with other dogs too.  He was at another shelter that asked for our help.  He reportedly had lost at least 5 homes and become so fearful of abandonment that he developed separation anxiety.  While there's no instant fix for separation anxiety, there are reasonable steps that can be taken in a stable home to help Buttercup gain self-assurance for the times when he is alone.

Raven is a gorgeous, devoted girl with many tremendous qualities, despite having been failed repeatedly by past owners.  She loved them unconditionally, but they rejected her, and so it's no surprise that she now may have separation anxiety, fearful of abandonment forever when you leave her sight.  There are no instant fixes for separation anxiety, but with time and a stable routine, and possibly crate-training, great improvements can be made.  Raven is a German Shepherd with a majestic appearance, about 6 years of age, spayed, good with cats and dogs, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.  Please help Raven find a hero.

Honeydew is an adventurous, enchanting young girl with unique beauty and she debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  She is a large, very slender girl, a Saluki or Greyhound mix, 1 year of age and now spayed.  Honeydew is reportedly housetrained, good with dogs, and so social that only people and dogs interest her (not toys).  She lost her previous home reportedly due to separation anxiety.  We have not witnessed separation here, but her previous owners said she panicked whenever she was left alone.  Our experience is that separation anxiety can diminish with time and patience in a very stable, experienced home environment, usually with crate-training and/or companionship with another animal.

Dozer is terrific with people and he loves big, enveloping hugs.  He is a handsome white Boxer, about 5 years of age, neutered, housetrained, good with mature kids, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Dozer has three special challenges and we ask for your help in finding this loving sweetheart a hero.  First, he is deaf and the consistent use of hand signals with him is needed.  (He already knows several signals.)  Second, he cannot be around any other dogs.  Third, he reportedly has at least mild separation anxiety (but does better, according to his previous owner, when he is wearing a Thundershirt).

Angel is a beautiful older girl who yearns for belonging to someone who will help her feel secure. She is a Yorkshire Terrier, spayed, about 10 years of age, and she needs regular professional grooming care. Angel has a jovial personality, but when a person leaves her, she reportedly can panic and begin nipping at their heels, begging them to stay.  This behavior is the reason she lost her previous home, but it can be corrected through basic training techniques.  An experienced home is needed. She is compatible with both cats and dogs and she is reportedly housetrained and crate-trained too.

Scruffy is a frisky, social young boy, as adorable as they come with a loving nature. He is reportedly a "Morkie" -- a Maltese & Yorkshire Terrier mix.  He is neutered, about 3 years of age, debuting for adoption today. Scruffy needed us when his previous owner became too ill to care for him.  He is great with other sweet dogs and needs regular professional grooming care.  He is reportedly housetrained, but only with a doggie door and may otherwise have accidents, so your patience and guidance may be needed. Also, Scruffy reportedly has separation anxiety and gets distressed when you leave even for short periods of time.  An experienced owner is needed to help curb this anxiety, and while there are no instant fixes, in time as he feels more secure his anxiety will diminish.

Update: Lulu was adopted on December 23rd! Rich with devotion, Lulu is ready to be a loyal, lifelong companion for someone willing and able to return her unconditional love. She is a small Puggle (Pug & Beagle mix), spayed girl, about 5 years of age, debuting for adoption today. Her previous owner left her at a veterinary clinic after finding out that she had bladder stones, unwilling and/or unable to give her the care she needed to get the stones removed and end the excruciating pain.  The clinic contacted us and asked us to please consider saving this sweet girl who otherwise had little hope. We had to act very quickly.  Fortunately, one of our volunteers generously stepped forward to help with her advanced surgery to remove the stones. Lulu has been healing well from the surgery and she is now ready for adoption.  For life, she is on a special diet (Science Diet c/d) to reduce the chances that any further stones will develop. We believe Lulu will do b...

Imagine a world where nothing seems stable. Where you give your unconditional love to someone and then you are rejected. Hilda's severe separation anxiety was born from being cast away from those she loved. Now, she fears that each time you walk out the door that you are leaving her forever. Hilda is a gorgeous, intelligent, young German Shepherd, spayed, about 18 months of age. She is generally well-behaved, being good with dogs and kind children, plus housetrained too (with a doggie door). But when you leave the home Hilda reportedly works tirelessly to escape and may become destructive once she does so. There are no instant fixes for separation anxiety. But progress can be made with time, great patience, and a steady lifestyle routine. Comings-and-goings should be matter-of-fact, void of drama. Please be willing to consult a veterinarian, trainer, and/or behaviorist as needed, if needed, to help her. The last thing she needs is to ever be rejected again. German Shepherd ...

Update: Paris was adopted on March 5th! Paris is an excitable, jubilant girl who adores other dogs and kind people. She is a Bichon Frise, spayed female, about 4 years of age. Paris is reportedly fine with older, mature kids and needs regular professional grooming care. Her previous owner surrendered her to us because she was having accidents in the house. A steady lifestyle routine is the foundation for completing housetraining. Paris reportedly may have at least a mild case of separation anxiety, so an experienced home is needed. This anxiety can diminish with time and stability, but there are no instant fixes. Paris debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Update: Pumpkin was adopted on January 7th! Pumpkin's heart aches and yearns to believe in people, despite numerous failures from previous owners who abused her innocence. She is a small Heinz 57 with a unique, lovely appearance that defies easy breed categorization. She is spayed, between 3-4 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Pumpkin is comforted by the presence of other sweet dogs and she is reportedly housetrained. We rescued her from another shelter. She had been abandoned there reportedly due to separation anxiety, which is often caused by repeated abandonments -- losing those you love and fearing that more rejection and devastating loss is on the way. But it is clear Pumpkin was also struck and screamed at. Trusting people again will take time and patience in an experienced, adult-only home with a steady lifestyle routine. In addition, in addressing separation anxiety, while there are no instant fixes, it can be diminished as she builds self-este...

Update: Jade was adopted on November 30th! Jade is a charming baby girl with a tender nature. She is most likely a Pomeranian mix, 7 months of age. Jade is now spayed and ready for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. She enjoys other dogs and she is reportedly fine with kind, mature children. Jade reportedly is crate-trained and partially housetrained. She may need your patience & guidance (and a steady routine) to complete housetraining. She needed us because her owners were not prepared to handle adding a puppy to their family. Please plan on regular grooming/brushing for her. Please also carefully puppy-proof your home & yard for her safety & protection.

Update: Nestle was adopted on August 29th! Nestle craves being reassured. She wears her heart on her sleeve (paw) and needs to always feel like she belongs. She is a super cute brindle-and-white Miniature Pinscher mix, spayed female, less than 2 years of age. Besides having a very loving nature, Nestle is compatible with both cats and dogs. Her primary challenge is separation anxiety. She panics when left alone -- worried she is being abandoned forever, yet again -- and this leads to unfortunate behaviors (destructiveness, accidents indoors, etc.). But in an experienced home, with time and great patience, plus a regular schedule, Nestle's anxiety will diminish. Please only consider her if you are exceptionally committed. Nestle is ready for an adult-only home where she will gain self-esteem and the feeling of being grounded and secure. We believe she may do best in a home with other animals that utilizes crate training for the times when people are not at home, at least ini...
