Nevada SPCA Animal Rescue

There's a story behind all of the emotions revealed in Courage's eyes in this picture. We are telling him that he'll soon finally know what a loving home feels like and he's trying hard to understand every word. Courage is a Mastiff & Plott Hound mix (81 pounds), 5 years of age, neutered boy, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is good with dogs (but small dogs unknown). Courage was at another shelter that asked for our help due to his soft tissue injuries. He had sustained massive trauma to his hips and back legs (from an unknown cause, discovered in the streets with a metal chain and lock pulling down on his neck).     Courage is now walking on his legs again. He usually remains calm, but has spurts of activity. Please share his picture and help find him a responsible forever home where he will never experience violence again.

This morning Sydney wore a worried look (see below) as we cut off numerous matted ropes of hair, some longer even than his tail. Nine years of age and he had never been brushed, never let indoors, and most likely, never loved. But as the minutes went by, he became less shocked and surprised that we were paying attention to him. He started kissing the person talking sweetly to him. And he stepped closer to the man trimming his coat, understanding he was getting help. Then suddenly his eyes and smile were filled with hope and we took his picture. Sydney is an Australian Shepherd who must finally know what a loving home feels like. He is neutered and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA. We rescued him from another shelter. He is good with other dogs, provided that all meals and treats are fed separately. Please help find someone wonderful ...
