Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

Donovan , a junior puppy who survived a dreadful and loveless home, now looks at everything new in the world with awe and wonder. His loving potential is enormous!

Thirteen of his siblings have been adopted.  The remaining two will debut for adoption in the days to come as they are spayed/neutered and prepared for adoption. These babies have only had human contact for a few weeks, so they are exceptionally shy and uneasy around people.  But thanks to volunteers and staff socializing them more each day, they are making slow and steady progress -- progress that needs to now continue in their forever homes. We believe the puppies will grow to medium size.  (Their father is unknown.) Chapman is about 5 months of age and n...
