I was saved at the last minute!

We were in the parking lot of a government-funded shelter getting ready to bring a truck-load of rescued animals to Nevada SPCA.  We came across a woman holding a 10-day old puppy who was near death, fading away and cold to the touch.  The woman told us a guitar was accidentally dropped on the dog's head and she was bringing the puppy to the government-funded shelter to have her put to sleep.

She agreed to give the dog to us instead so we could try to save her life.  We rushed her into an emergency veterinary hospital and then said many prayers.  Her chances seemed dim because of brain swelling, but this angel pulled through beautifully and we placed her in a foster home for continued recovery and bottle-feeding.

We named this little miracle "Faith".  She has fully recovered and blossomed brilliantly!  She cuddles, gives kisses, and she is as endearing and social as we could have hoped.

Faith is a lovely blend of Toy breeds, perhaps with Rat Terrier and Chihuahua, and we expect her to remain small.  She is now spayed, 3 months of age, and ready for adoption.

We believe she will do best in a home with at least one other animal who she can bond with.  Please ask for Faith by name when you visit.

Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for her safety and protection.

I am a flowering rose.

We are so proud of Faith and the immense improvements she is making, thanks to loving care and attention from volunteers and staff.

At the time of rescue she was gruesomely injured from being used as "bait" by some human monster to train his dog to fight.  Her leg was severely broken and she had head wounds.

Physically, Faith healed long ago.  Emotionally and psychologically, she is still a beautiful work in progress, though her strides are so tremendous that her fear is less of people -- she LOVES people! -- but fear of new situations.  So, an experienced, patient new owner is needed for her.

Faith is a unique Heinz 57 (blend of breeds) with Bully.  She is spayed, 2-3 years of age, and very hopeful someone will see her potential and help her realize it.

Please ask for Faith by name and spend time with her in our adoption courtyard.  She is very energetic and athletic, so an active lifestyle (or semi-active) is a necessity.

Very special thanks to Pet'ographique for this lovely portrait of Faith on a bed of roses to help her find a forever home.
