Is it finally, finally, finally!, my chance to really be loved??

Spring's gloom is lifting and it is wonderful to see her spirit reigniting with hope for her future.

She is a calm-natured Shiba Inu mix, petite and spayed little lady, about 9 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

She valiantly survived a horrendous ordeal.  Her previous owner was breeding her for puppies, but refused to take her to a veterinary hospital when there were severe complications during labor.  We rescued Spring and rushed her into a hospital for an emergency C-section to save her life.

Spring is recovering well physically and emotionally, and her days of being a breeding machine are now, finally, over.

The return of optimism.

It has been wonderful to watch the hope and sparkle return to this older boy's eyes.

At the time of rescue Rusty had just survived some sort of trauma and his spirit was muted in despair.

Rusty is a sweet senior, good with dogs, and reportedly housetrained.

He needs an adult-only home because he can reportedly get moody and become intolerant of strangers.

Please see the joy, love, and grace in our eyes.

Midnight & Smokey, beautifully photographed by Pet'ographique. 

These "Golden Girls" have the cheerful innocence of puppies and we are so eager for them to find a loving home where they can remain together forever. 

Midnight & Smokey are soul-mates, girls of 11-12 years of age, spayed, rescued from another shelter.

Angels with wagging tails instead of wings, and they need a hero.

Please help us find a hero for these angels. 

At 11 and 12 years of age, Smokey & Midnight had been discarded at a government-funded shelter where they did not qualify for adoption.  We rescued them and brought them into the safety of Nevada SPCA. 

Despite what they have endured, both girls maintain optimistic personalities, always ready to share their bright smiles.  And they love the world since they get to remain together, soul-mates to the end. 

Smokey is a Dachshund mix and Midnight is a Labrador Retriever.  With hearts of pure gold, they will surprise you with all of the unconditional love they have to bless you with today.

The face of an angel!

Luna is a cheery, gentle, older girl anxiously awaiting adoption into a forever home.

Besides being housetrained, she is good with children and dogs.

Luna is a Yellow Labrador Retriever, spayed, about 10 years of age.

Special thanks to Pet'ographique for capturing her beautiful essence in this spectacular pet portrait.

Kicking me out of the family after 11 years? Why??

Little Bo Peep is understandably confused and distraught. 

She was a good girl for 11 years, yet her previous owner threw her away, refusing to fill out a personality profile to help her or even make a donation of one dollar toward her care.

We are working to comfort Bo Peep and reassure her that she is safe.  We are dedicated to finding a loving home for her so that she spends her final years being adored.

She is a lovely Pomeranian, spayed, seeking a calm, gentle home.

Please consider Bo Peep and the many other seniors who are homeless due to no fault of their own.  Rich emotional rewards come with adopting seniors.

When you walk out the door, how do I know you will ever come back?

Angel is a beautiful older girl who yearns for belonging to someone who will help her feel secure.

She is a Yorkshire Terrier, spayed, about 10 years of age, and she needs regular professional grooming care.

Angel has a jovial personality, but when a person leaves her, she reportedly can panic and begin nipping at their heels, begging them to stay.  This behavior is the reason she lost her previous home, but it can be corrected through basic training techniques.  An experienced home is needed.

She is compatible with both cats and dogs and she is reportedly housetrained and crate-trained too.

Seniors like me may especially be grateful for loving homes.

At 12 years of age, Murphy mistakenly gets overlooked by most visitors. 

But he is a treasure!  He is enthusiastic, friendly, affectionate, even-tempered, loyal, and humble.

Please come and meet him.  We think you will find his happy-go-lucky nature simply irresistible!

Murphy is a Schnauzer & Terrier mix, neutered boy, and we rescued him after he was abandoned at a local veterinary clinic. 

He is compatible with other dogs and well-behaved on a leash and in cars and on walks.

The emotional rewards from adopting senior rescued animals are immense.  We hope you will open your heart to Murphy and the other seniors pleading for consideration.

Will love come around again for a 13 year old sweetheart like me?

Update: Leona was adopted on February 4th!

A rustic girl with soulful, heart-breaking eyes, Leona's gentle spirit pleads for another chance for love.

Imagine being homeless in your twilight years.  But she trusts us to find her someone special to cherish her and let her live in dignity during her final months or years on Earth.

Leona is in surprisingly good shape for a 13 year old.  She walks very well on a leash and her teeth are healthy.  She is reportedly a Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mix.  She is spayed.

We rescued her from another shelter where she did not qualify for adoption (due to age).
