All I ask is to be loved and appreciated.

Sabrina is a beautiful jewel and her gentle spirit has been captured wonderfully in this brand new portrait courtesy of Pet'ographique (www.petographique.com). 

Sabrina only wants to be loved and to have peace-of-mind, so a calm and affectionate home environment is ideal for her. 

She is a lovely shorthair with crisp blue eyes, about 7 years of age, spayed, fine with other respectful cats, and awaiting adoption at Nevada SPCA.

She did nothing wrong to become homeless.  Instead, her previous owner moved into an apartment that does not allow cats.

A sweet Brownie Sundae for adoption!

Brownie Sundae more than lives up to her fun name -- she is an irresistible girl with a delightful, delicious personality! 

She is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix, spayed, 5 years of age, full of love and joy and innocence. 

Brownie Sundae needed us when her previous owners moved to an apartment where she was not allowed.  She debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Lionheart's Triumph!!

We were elated when this angel had the light back in his eyes, when he could hold up his head on his own, and when his tail began to wag. 

The victim of extreme starvation, at the time of rescue his life was in imminent peril.  After a week of emergency hospitalization care and fluids, and months of subsequent recovery at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org), the boy we named Lionheart nearly tripled his weight and bloomed into a social, cheerful boy full of joy and curiosity. 

Lionheart is a Yorkshire Terrier mix, neutered, 5 years of age, debuting for adoption today. 

CAUTION: His "before" pictures are very disturbing. 

But we want to share Lionheart's success with you and ask for your help in finding him a loving, forever home.

Lullaby wants to know what a loving home feels like.

Lullaby's beautifully expressive eyes reveal a young girl who is tender-hearted and sensitive, yearning to be loved for her own worth, not for her commercial value as a breeding machine. 

She is a pretty Chihuahua, spayed, 2 years of age, good with people and dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Lullaby is incredibly fortunate to be alive.  Her previous owner bred her for puppies, but could not afford the emergency medical care she desperately needed when one of her babies got stuck during the birthing process.  We rescued her and rushed her into a veterinary hospital for an emergency Caesarean section, and 4 of her 5 babies survived and remain in foster care.

Sarah Belle dreams of a Christmas miracle.

So grateful to be getting tender care, Sarah Belle delights in giving you doggie kisses. 

 She dreams of finally being in a loving home for her twilight years.  A hero will accept that she has one functioning eye and has survived liver disease. 

Sarah Belle is a petite, senior Pomeranian, spayed girl, 10 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Please help Sarah Belle get a Christmas miracle.

Paco hopes someone special will finally take notice.

Paco would love to share his gentle spirit with you.  He is wise, calm, and unassuming. 

We cannot understand why he is one of our longest dog residents, but months have rolled by and he keeps getting overlooked. 

Pet'ographique generously photographed him to help spotlight his humble personality and warm nature. 

Paco is a Longhair Chihuahua, neutered boy, 6 years of age, great with dogs, and available for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Penelope is a dear who looks like a deer.

Penelope is an older girl with a beautiful soul who longs for love and security.

We think of her as a dear with a deer-like appearance, as she is a unique Heinz 57, about 30 pounds (medium size).  Penelope is spayed, about 9 years of age, and she gets along fine with most dogs.

She would love to be your very own angel.

Herman is not trash.

Herman is a pleasant, humble older boy who just wants to be loved in a peaceful home.  He is a petite Chihuahua, neutered, 12 years of age, great with dogs, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

At the time of rescue he was living in a rabbit hutch and his previous owner said he did not want him anymore and was going to release him onto the streets. 

Herman though is a treasure, not trash, full of unconditional love.

Promise me you won't throw me away.

Mac Daddy is a tiny, tender boy who delights in being babied and adored. 

He needs to know he is loved, and promise him that he will never face rejection again. 

He is a Chihuahua, neutered, 6 years of age, fine with sweet dogs. 

He had been discarded at a gas station and was nearly run over by a truck just moments before his rescue.

I fancy sleeping under the covers with you.

Update: Violet was adopted on February 2nd!

Violet is a gentle young girl with a tender soul.

At the time of rescue she had been abandoned on the streets, pregnant, understandably bewildered and distressed.

We placed Violet in a loving foster home where she gave birth to five beautiful puppies.  Now, she has been spayed and it is her turn to find a forever home.

Violet is a Chihuahua, approximately 2-3 years of age, and interestingly she has pink pigment around her right eye and black pigment around her left eye.

She loves cuddling, belly rubs, and sleeping under the covers.

Violet enjoys other sweet dogs and she does best with soft-spoken people.
