Barbara Billy Bobby Barbara , Billy , and Bobby -- super sweet, rescued Ragdoll kittens -- are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA .  Earlier this summer the babies were discovered when a person heard cries of distress coming from bushes.  We placed them in a wonderful foster home for care and socialization.  Please consider adopting a pair, or the trio, for lifelong love and companionship.

Brian, Coby, Jade, and Peter

Brian Coby Jade Peter These four gentle babies -- Brian , Coby , Jade , and Peter -- crave reassurance and do not yet realize they are safe. Their personalities are ready to bloom as they feel more secure and confident. Their four other siblings will be ready for adoption later this month. The 8 puppies were at another shelter that asked for our help. They survived a horrific past (that neither their mother or their 9th sibling survived). Their mother was reportedly a Bully & Retriever mix and their father unknown. These four pups are six months of age, spayed/neutered, and debuting for hero adoptions today at Nevada SPCA .

Alfie

Image
Alfie , "a diamond taking shape", is a rescued junior puppy trying to learn that humans can be kind.    He is a Beagle & Chihuahua mix, 9 months of age, good with other dogs, now neutered and debuting for a hero adoption at Nevada SPCA . All indications suggest Alfie has never experienced love or compassion in a home. When people approach he flattens himself to the ground and hopes they don't notice him. He is afraid of being touch and terrified by leashes around his neck. A big sister or brother dog, in conjunction with a steady and calm lifestyle routine, can help him adjust and understand he is safe.    Please share Alfie's picture to help him find someone wonderful so he can reach his full loving potential. We rescued Alfie from a shelter that ran out of space. Nothing further is known about his origins.

Please consider adopting Lily and Nolan together for lifelong love and companionship.

Flynn

Flynn is 1 of 30 rescued kittens for adoption today at Nevada SPCA ! An additional 120+ rescued sweetheart adult cats await loving forever homes too. Flynn is a lynx point Siamese kitten, 3 months of age and neutered, and good with other cats.    He was homeless and ill at the time of rescue.

Annie is a blue & cream (dilute tortoiseshell) kitten, 3 months of age and spayed, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA . After being found motherless at only a few weeks of age, Annie survived by bottle feeding and nurturing care in a devoted foster home.

Kelly

Kelly is beginning to realize that people can offer comfort and nurturing care.    She reportedly spent most of her life with other dogs, but without human contact (a small colony of dogs living in a near feral state on a desert property). Kelly needs a hero so she can reach her full loving potential. She is a Flat-Coated Retriever mix, 7 years of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA .    Kelly is 1 of 33 animals rescued so far from a collapsed animal organization in northern Arizona. Kelly does not know how to walk on a leash, but she is willing to move for short distances on leash. She likes sitting close, but only if your hand movements aren't fast or near her face. Kelly seems to like when people sit with her and read to her.

Rory

Image
Rory and his four siblings were found wandering in a family's backyard. They are only 5 weeks of age and need a foster hero please for approximately 8 weeks of loving care and socialization. If you can foster them, please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Lauren. Rory and his sister and brothers are learning how to eat wet food and may need a bit more bottle feeding. They were so hungry they buried their heads in their plates of wet canned food (and you can still see the remnants around his mouth).

Sassy

Image
Sassy , an 8-week-old Yorkie-Poo, needs an experienced foster parent please for approximately 6 weeks. She is very nervous and needs more socialization in a patient, calm home environment. If you can help Sassy , please visit Nevada SPCA in person and ask for Joellyn. Sassy was unwanted by her previous owners. Another dog -- an older brother or sister -- may help her adjust and feel more secure.
