How We Help

Building a Compassionate Community Where Pets and People Thrive

Our community support programs keep pets with their families by providing Pet Pantry food assistance plus low-or-no cost veterinary care for pets in need.

Big Rhonda arrived in our care in rough shape after being found wandering the streets alone with no responsible owner coming forward. 😔 When our veterinary team first met her, it was immediately apparent that she was struggling to breathe due to a severely obstructed airway, so much so that she was turning purple. Our team jumped into action to get her the urgent care she needed. After a special procedure to enlarge her nostrils and shorten her soft palate, she can now breathe easier! ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We also discovered that she had painfully chronic dry eye and cherry eye in her right eye. To finally give her the relief she deserved, we made the decision to remove it. ⁣ ⁣ Big Rhonda has made a full recovery and is now officially ready for her next chapter: finding a forever family! ⁣🫶⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ And we quickly found that the “Big” in Big Rhonda is fitting! This petite 1.5-year-old girl (54 lbs) has a BIG, sassy bulldog personality. She’s very sweet, bubbly, loves being the center of attention, and has just the right touch of mischief to keep you on your toes. Despite everything she’s been through, Big Rhonda’s lovable personality shines through, and she’s ready to share all that love with a family of her own.⁣ 🐶🐾⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ As a bulldog, Big Rhonda will need a family who understands her breed’s special care needs, including keeping her cool in Las Vegas’ extreme heat and avoiding overexertion. She deserves a loving, responsible family committed to keeping her safe, healthy, and happy for years to come.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ This sweet girl has overcome so much, it’s her turn to be spoiled with love! Meet Big Rhonda at Nevada SPCA 🏡 🦴❤️⁣ ⁣⁣ #adoptashelterdog #bulldog #lasvegas #nevadaspca

He’s still spunky, full of personality, and oh-so-sweet!⁣ ⁣ Boots loves being by your side and is quite the talkative fellow, especially when he wants something! He enjoys making biscuits in your lap and dreams of finding a calm, loving home where he can spend his golden years being thoroughly spoiled. 🏡🧡⁣ ⁣ He has experience living with other kitties and is ready to find a family who will give him all the love, comfort, and care he deserves.⁣ ⁣ Give this sweet senior a chance at his happily ever after, meet Boots at Nevada SPCA today! ⁣ ⁣ #adoptasheltercat #adoptaseniorpet #lasvegas #nevadaspca
