Jaguar

Image
Jaguar , a slender and long-legged Greyhound mix, shines when he knows you approve of him.  He is 4 years of age, housetrained & crate-trained, good with dogs and mature kids, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA .  Jaguar is shy with new people and thrives with routine and stability.  He needed us when his previous owners moved away without him.

Gabriel

Image
Gabriel is an angelic young boy, shy and tender-hearted, who treasures sleeping at your side.  He bonds well with children, adults, and cats.  Gabriel is a snow-white shorthair feline with jewel eyes, 2 years of age and neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA .  Sprinkle some catnip in a cardboard box and he is entertained for hours!  Gabriel needed us due to his previous owners' rental home pet policy.

Beau

Image
Beau is shy, but with your first touch of kindness he begins to stand, purr, and lean his head into your hands. He is an exceptionally attractive London tabby (marbled), good with other cats, 8 years of age, neutered, and ready for adoption in the Treehouse Playroom at Nevada SPCA.    Beau needed us due to his previous owners' financial hardship.

Coffee

Image
Coffee is initially shy, but his heart soars with people he knows and he gives them doggie kisses and his personality blooms. He is a Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua & Dachshund), just under 3 years of age, good with other dogs, neutered boy, awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA. Coffee's hind left leg doesn't bend (birth defect), but he walks and hops well.

Armani

Image
Armani is a charming boy with unique eyebrow coloring that complements his expressive face.  He is a Basenji mix, perhaps with Aussie Cattle Dog, 3 years young and neutered, good with other dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  Armani is initially shy, but sneaks doggie kisses on gentle people who are kind to him.  He was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his timidity.

Romero

Image
Gently give Romero chin scratches and he'll melt in your arms purring.  He is an exceptionally attractive Ragdoll with lilac point coloration, 4 years of age, neutered, fine with calm cats, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA. Romero was at another shelter that asked for our help. Unfortunately, his previous owners had him declawed (front paws), resulting in behavior changes because he was in pain, including fearfulness and fussiness, and their decision to surrender him to the shelter.  Since his arrival at Nevada SPCA, Romero has been a perfect gentleman. We believe a peaceful home environment is ideal for him.

Galahad

Image
Five weeks ago Galahad was at another shelter that asked for our help so he could recover from starvation.  He was emaciated, a Great Pyrenees weighing only 77 pounds.  Galahad is now 86 pounds, his energy is recovering, and he is debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He is shy, so a very gentle home is ideal.  Galahad gets along well with other dogs and he is neutered and about 6 years of age.  We want to find him a home where he can continue regaining weight and where he will never know desperate hunger again.

Lionel

Image
Lionel is a young boy with captivating eyes and a dazzling smile and he debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.  He was at another shelter that asked for our help because of his timidity.  But right at this moment he is being comforted by a very gentle volunteer and awakening to the realization that he is now safe.  Lionel has the body type of a Rottweiler and he is blended with other breeds.  He is 2 years young, neutered, and reportedly fine with some dogs.  Lionel can reportedly scale fences, so a very secure home and yard is essential for his safety.

The evolution of a smile -- 4 faces of Thor.

Thor, 9:45am, "Am I going to be okay?  Is anyone going to hurt me?" Thor, 9:48am, "You're taking my picture and a smile will help me find a loving home?" Thor, 9:49am, "How's this?" Thor, 9:50am, "Here's my biggest smile!" We want to share with you the awakening of a spirit -- Thor's spirit -- in just the five minutes he spent with us getting his portrait this morning. Thor needed us when his previous owner went into hospice and passed away. Thor is a snow-white American Bulldog mix, about 4 years of age, now neutered and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. His world has been turned upside-down and he's no longer sure where he belongs.  That overwhelming feeling of being lost, adrift from where he expected to be, is almost universal with rescued animals.  One of our most important roles at Nevada SPCA is assuring Thor and others they are indeed safe and can begin to hope. Thor is reported...
