Promise me that my dark days are over.

Exceptionally sweet and lovable, Tammy is an angel on Earth, so ready to bless someone with her unconditional devotion. 

She is a beautiful Fox Terrier & Toy mix, 1 year young, spayed girl, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Tammy is gentle, enjoys other dogs, and she is recovering well from severe neglect.

We rescued Tammy from a government-funded shelter that ran out of space for her.

What does really being loved feel like?

Bart is now glowing and shining, so full of optimism that he will finally get to know what a loving home feels like. 

He is a Bichon Frise & Poodle mix, neutered boy, 5 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Bart was a filthy, matted mess at the time of rescue, but that neglectful past was shaved away when we had him cleaned and groomed. 

Bart enjoys other dogs and needs regular professional grooming. 

An adult-only home is strongly preferred.  He is very anxious about being picked up and still recovering emotionally from years of severe neglect.

Tasha feels on top of the world!

Tasha is a bubbly, comical young lady with the most wonderful, expressive ears! 

She is a delightful Poodle, just one year of age, spayed, good with dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Please keep her always professional groomed.  Tasha had been the victim of neglect, but now that she is groomed and feeling pretty, she feels on top of the world!!

Please help us find Dynasty a hero.

Dynasty is at most peace lying back in your arms, cuddling, soaking up reassurance and goodwill. 

The victim of long-term neglect, his starvation for attention is understandable. 

Dynasty is adjusting to life with one eye (as his left eye could not be saved). 

He is a gentle Chihuahua, young at heart at about 9-10 years of age, neutered, great with dogs and people. 

Please help us find Dynasty a hero.

Jazzy's dark days are over and he is ready for a loving, bright future.

Jazzy sparkles with joy and dazzles us with his amazing smile.  We love his sunny personality. 

He is a Yellow Labrador Retriever mix, about 7 years of age, neutered, great with dogs and people, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

He is recovering beautifully from a horrific past.  He was one of the two dogs living in deplorable conditions at an abandoned home who had been the victim of tazering, as featured on 8 News Now TV on January 12th.  He was transferred to us from another shelter to address his medical needs (and the other dog was also transferred to a reputable rescue group). 

Jazzy is ready to experience what a loving home feels like!

Leo's beautiful emotional recovery!

Leo's more light-hearted nature is celebrated in this brand new portrait from Pet'ographique. 

We are so proud of this little guy for trusting us and becoming more affectionate, despite a past full of cruelty and neglect.  Volunteers and staff have been helping him recover emotionally for months, and now he is triumphantly ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.

Leo is a handsome Chihuahua, neutered boy, about 5 years of age, and he gets along beautifully with other dogs.

Tootie, an angel.

Seeing Tootie is like looking in the eyes of an angel.  She is very kind and calm, and full of love, and hopeful that she will finally be loved. 

Like all mixed breeds, Tootie has unique beauty.  She is medium-size and perhaps a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Shetland Sheepdog.  She is spayed, about 8 years of age, good with dogs, shaved down (to get rid of the knots and tangles) and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Tootie is one of 14 dogs we rescued from other shelters just before Christmas.

Rebel - with a cause.

Rebel's eyes say it all, don't they? The victim of abuse and neglect, his trust has been violated and he is not at all sure about the human race. But yet, he yearns to be loved and to share his devotion if he can find just the right, gentle person. 

Rebel is a Shih-Tzu mix, neutered boy, 2 years young, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. He is great with other dogs and needs regular grooming (note: we shaved away his knots and tangles, so his coat will grow long again).

Are you going to love me?

Finley is a Shih-Tzu mix puppy who needs to be showered with love and affection, and assured that he will never be neglected again. 

We shaved this angel down and he is now unrecognizable from the way he looked at the time of rescue.  His matts and knots were so severe he was deaf because the tangles extended down his ear canals. 

Finley can hear again now, and hope is springing into his eyes.  Finley is 10 months young, neutered, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Blue finally awakens to human kindness.

It's never too late to decide to love people. 

For Blue, this remarkable breakthrough comes at 12 years of age, following a life previously full of despair and neglect. 

She now loves going for walks and she is beginning to trust people.  Volunteers and staff have been working with her for many months because at the time of rescue she was very grumpy and intolerant of people. 

Blue is a Chow Chow, spayed, and she is great with most dogs.  Please help us find a hero to adopt or foster her so she continues blooming.

Lacey - an angel making a remarkable transformation!

At the time of rescue the matts under Lacey's arms were so large and painful that she could barely walk. 

She was the victim of extreme neglect that lasted for years.  We had the past shaved away though, down to her skin, for a new start and new hope. 

This lovely Pomeranian mix is now looking and feeling like a million dollars!

Lacey is spayed, about 7 years of age, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

I still believe in the altruism of people.

Despite years of neglect, Lottie has not given up on people.

The months have rolled by since her rescue, and she is trying to remain patient awaiting her new owner and forever home. Being loved would be a dream come true for her.

Lottie is a blond German Shepherd mix, spayed lady, 8 years of age.

She has mild arthritis, but delights in leisurely walks and tender affection.

These gorgeous portraits of Lottie are courtesy of Pet'ographique.

Our foster mom showed us that humans are capable of kindness.

Cuddles

Knightly

Whisper

 Loving foster care saved these baby girls. We named them Cuddles, Knightly, and Whisper.

They are adorable Australian Shepherd mix pups, now 3 months of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption at Nevada SPCA (www.nevadaspca.org).

Rescued from horrendous living conditions, along with 6 young adults (who are already available for adoption), we found them stuffed so tightly into crates with adults they were in danger of being crushed.

But their foster mom has showered them with love and showed them the altruism that humans are capable of.

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

I don't want to ever know starvation again. Please.

A real estate agent found this petite, sweet girl in a foreclosed home.  She was starving and emaciated, as no water or food was in sight. 

We named her Sky and nursed her back to good health.  She is now ready for share her devotion with someone worthy of her innocence and love.

Sky is a lovely dilute calico, now spayed, 3 years of age.  Please ask for her by name in the Cat Condos.

Doogie -- before & after

Doogie - before, bed sores

Doogie - before, bed sores

Doogie on April 14

What a valiant, inspirational recovery this boy has made!

At the time of rescue Doogie was a matted mess of skin and bones.  When we shaved away the filthy knots, we discovered large, painful bed sores on both of his hips.  He was so weak he could barely stand up or lift his head.

Fast-forward three months, and thanks to tender loving care, Doogie is now a robust, playful, affectionate little guy ready for adoption into a loving home.

He is a Poodle mix, neutered, 5-6 years of age, compatible with other dogs, and he adores people.

His soulful eyes speak volumes.  Please help us ensure he never sees the reckless, cruel side of human nature again.

Will my future be bright and full of love?

Cleo

Cleo is an endearing baby girl with a loving nature.

She is a Labrador Retriever pup, spayed, about 5-6 months of age, expected to grow to large size.

We rescued Cleo and her mother and brother from a neglectful home where they were banished to living solely in the backyard.  Her mother, Ishall (pictured below), was spayed and adopted earlier this month.  Her brother, Anthony, was sick with parvo at the time of rescue, but we had extensive treatment for him at a local veterinary hospital and he made a full recovery.  Anthony gets neutered later this week and then he will be ready for adoption.

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

Cleo enjoys other sweet dogs.

Ishall

Our mother dug a hole in the ground to keep us from freezing.

Dandy

Iris

Pansy

Petunia

Update: All three have been adopted!

Dandy and his sisters (Iris, Pansy, and Petunia) are nicknamed "Flower Children" and they are the baby angels of Daisy, their mom, who was previously featured on this site and adopted last month.

They are Maltese mixes, spayed/neutered, about 4 months of age, ready for adoption today.

The Flower Children are the surviving 4 puppies from an extremely neglectful previous home.  Daisy was banished to living outdoors in the winter cold.  She dug a hole to try and save her newborn babies, but 3 of her 7 pups "froze to death".

The Flower Children are precious, loving, tender-hearted angels.

They can be adopted separately, but please consider adopting a pair for lifelong love and companionship.

Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.  And please plan and budget for regular professional grooming care.

I did everything I could to try and keep my babies alive.

Update: Daisy was adopted on February 25th!

The plight of this angel ripped our hearts out.  We are blessed to have her (and her surviving pups) here at Nevada SPCA, safe now, and ever-after (once adopted into a loving forever home), so she (and the pups too) can be shown the kinder side of human nature.

Daisy is a Maltese mix with ethereal hazel eyes, spayed girl, about 18 months of age.

At the time of rescue she was in a filthy, wet backyard with her 4 newborn puppies.  Forced to live outside, she had dug a large hole in the ground to try and keep her puppies warm.  But her previous owner said 3 of her original 7 babies had "froze to death".  When questioned why he had acted so cruelly and neglectfully, he said he "didn't want no babies" and that when he took Daisy from a friend he did not know she was pregnant.

Daisy's babies are doing well here and they will be available for adoption in the weeks to come.  Now that Daisy has been spayed she is ready for adoption.

Daisy longs for loving attention and reassurance.  Please plan on regular professional grooming care to keep her looking and feeling good.

For a whole year we waited in vain for them to return for us.

Chloe

Coco

We recently learned about the plight of Chloe and Coco through an email rescue network.  Their previous owners abandoned them in the backyard of the foreclosed home.  For an entire year neighbors had been bringing them scraps of food and bowls of water, but they were living on dirt and without anything but minimal human contact. 

These social angels are now in the safety and loving environment of Nevada SPCA and they no longer have to wonder if any meals will be forgotten.  Both are ready for adoption into loving homes.

Chloe is lovely Heinz 57 (blend of breeds) with Retriever and she has soulful eyes.  She is spayed and about 7 years of age.

Coco is an easy-going, affectionate Cocker Spaniel who gives kisses.  He is neutered and about 5 years of age.  Please plan on regular professional grooming care for him.

They can be adopted separately, but please consider keeping them together.  For the past year all they have had is each other and the kindness of strangers.

My heart is healing.

Jerry looks like a superstar, now that we have groomed him, trimmed his nails, shaved away the matts and knots and dirt, and put him on premium nutritious food.

But emotionally recovering from many months of severe neglect will take more time, and we are happy he is making steady progress, starting to enjoy all of our fussing on him and attention.

Jerry is an apricot Miniature Poodle mix, neutered boy, 2 years young.

He is intelligent, attentive, and he has an easy-going temperament.

Jerry bonds well with other dogs.  Please budget extra for regular professional grooming care to keep him looking and feeling his best.

We rescued him from a government-funded shelter that ran out of space for him.
