Rocky…the master of disguise? 🥸🎃⁣

After arriving in our care when her previous family was no longer able to care for her, our veterinary team made sure Nala received her spay surgery and vaccinations before she found her perfect forever family! 💖 🏡 🐾 ⁣
⁣
We’re so happy she’s starting her next chapter in a loving home: ⁣
⁣
“She’s doing great! We renamed her Brenda, which honestly fits her personality so much better, and she responds wonderfully to it.⁣
⁣
She has already lost about 4 pounds and has become such a happy, active part of our family. She has a little dog sister that she loves running around and playing with, and she also loves wrestling and playing with our 2-year-old son. They have become such cute little buddies.⁣
⁣
She has settled in really well and seems very comfortable with us. Her personality has really come out more and more since we brought her home, and she is such a sweet, funny, loving girl. We’re very happy to have her and feel like she fits perfectly into our family.”⁣
⁣
Happy tails, Brenda! ⁣

Apollo has the most adorable widdle face! 🥹⁣
⁣
This 3-year-old (60 lbs) boy was a little shy when he first arrived in our care, but he’s since warmed up and is showing off his playful personality! Apollo is a bubbly, friendly, and affectionate boy who enjoys playtime and car rides. 🦴 🚗 🐶⁣
⁣
He’s lived with kids who know how to be gentle and other dogs (meet-and-greet with any current household dogs). Apollo reportedly likes to chase cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.⁣
⁣
This cutie is ready to find a loving family who will give him the love, care, and lifelong commitment he deserves. Meet Apollo at Nevada SPCA! 🏡 🐾⁣
