GREAT NEWS! After seven long weeks, our little warrior Palm has finally graduated from our Ringworm Academy. 🥳🥳🥳

Palm was found with her sister, both covered with a highly contagious ringworm infection. The two were clearly bonded, so we tried our best to keep them together during their time with us.

While ringworm is curable, treatment requires a tremendous amount of resources, including specially trained staff, medicine, supplies, PCR tests, and a space where the cats and kittens can be quarantined for at least 21 days. We call our treatment program Ringworm Academy! 👨‍🎓

Luckily, Palm and Cali were able to stay together during their quarantine. We loved watching them play and cuddle, comforting each other through treatment.

After six weeks, Cali was cleared of ringworm and adopted shortly thereafter. As much as we hoped Palm could graduate with her sister, she still needed more time.🥲

Palm stayed behind to continue the program. Her ringworm infection was indeed stubborn! But we promised her it would be worth it.🙌

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Palm has FINALLY been cleared of her ringworm infection and is GRADUATING from our Ringworm Academy!

We'll be sure to keep you updated on Palm's journey as she moves on to the next exciting chapter of her journey— finding a loving home.

We can't do this amazing work without your financial support! Please give TODAY to have your gift MATCHED, doubling the impact of your generosity for pets like Palm!

Pi spent 245 days in our care. Terrified and shut down, there were many days when Pi refused to leave his kennel. But we promised we would never give up on him.

Pi began his healing journey with the help of our professional Behavior Modification (B-Mod) program, designed to help homeless pets build confidence and trust others. He also benefitted from our foster program, where he had a peaceful space to relax, heal, and grow!

Thanks to these programs, Pi was able to get the support he needed while he waited for his person.

Today, he is enjoying life traveling and exploring with John.

It's only thanks to YOUR generous gifts that we can help pets like Pi get the love and support they deserve while they wait for loving homes.

Please donate today to have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar, going TWICE as far to help homeless pets get the love and care they deserve. Visit SPCANEVADA.ORG/DONATE to make a difference today!

Remember Pi? A sweet dog who spent eight joyful years with his family until they could no longer care for him, ending up alone in a kennel. Heartbroken and terrified of other dogs due to a traumatic past, Pi’s fear kept him isolated. For months, he struggled to adjust, often too scared to leave his room.

Pi began his healing journey with the help of our professional Behavior Modification (B-Mod) program, designed to help homeless pets build confidence, trust others, and learn healthy ways to navigate the world around them. Through the B-Mod program, 21 pets like Pi have received vital support this year, giving them the tools to thrive in loving homes.

Each day, we helped Pi build trust through gentle encouragement and activities. With every treat and kind gesture, his fear faded as he discovered the world could be safe. We were overjoyed to see him grow more relaxed and playful each day. Surely, he would find a loving home soon!

But just as Pi started to blossom, noisy construction started next door, and he regressed. Once again, he became too afraid to leave his room.

Despite the setback, our commitment never wavered. Pi found peace in a foster home, and with the care of patient staff and volunteers, he gradually opened up—tail wagging, playing outside, and even learning new tricks.

One day, John visited the Adoption Center to meet Pi. But Pi was still nervous around new people and hung back, his eyes saying, “I’m not ready.”

So John came back the next day. And the day after that.

For weeks, he visited Pi daily to earn his trust. John walked and played outside with Pi, always following Pi’s lead. He even left personal items with his scent to earn Pi’s trust and form a bond.

Finally, after weeks of steady dedication, Pi approached John and accepted a gentle pet.

After 245 days of waiting, Pi found his person.

Today, John tells us that he and Pi are inseparable. Pi now spends his days chasing balls, fishing, and exploring the great outdoors. So far, they’ve visited 32 states—each step of their journey spent together!

We need your support to continue helping pets like Pi—dogs and cats who need extra care and patience to find their loving homes.

NOW through December 3, your donation will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar. Give today at www.spcanevada.org/donate or via the link in our bio. 💜

Look at those ears! 🥰 How could you resist these adorable German Shepherd mix puppies? We have two females and two males, all spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find loving homes!

A quick note: Puppies need lots of training and socialization in their first three years to grow into happy, well-adjusted adult dogs. That’s why we’re seeking families with the time and energy to help them thrive. We’ve also updated our age requirement to 5+, meaning everyone in the household should be least five years old to adopt. 🐶🙌

We open at noon, so come early—these cuties won’t be waiting long! Find us at 4950 Spectrum Blvd. Can’t wait to see you here! 🐶❤️

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝘁? We've partnered with Home to Home (𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲-𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲.𝗼𝗿𝗴), a FREE online platform that helps pets find loving families without having to deal with the stress of going to a shelter. This direct-to-adopter online resource easily and safely allows you to list and search for pets in need of a new home.

Why Home to Home?
🐶 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀-𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝘀: Pets transition smoothly into their new family without the anxiety of staying in a shelter.

🌟 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Adopters can receive detailed info directly from the previous owners, ensuring a great fit from the start.

💪 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Every successful rehome frees up precious resources, allowing shelters to focus on animals with no other options.

It's easy - Simply create a profile for your pet, connect with potential adopters, and find your furry friend the perfect new home. 🐱❤️

Last year, we successfully rehomed 112 pets through this platform! That's 112 pets that never needed to enter a shelter, thus keeping those spaces open for another 112 pets to be saved. WOO HOO!

Thank you for doing your part to keep pets happy and less stressed, and helping us focus on those in urgent need.

Meet Violet!

You don’t know true love until you’ve seen Violet with a tennis ball. 🎾🎾🎾🎾 Violet is our @ktvn_reno and @96.5alice_reno #PetoftheWeek! She is a three year old lab/rottie mix with LOTS of energy. The key to her heart? A tennis ball.🎾 This silly gal can play with a tennis ball ON HER OWN for a while. She also isn’t shy about bringing it to you for a few throws. And by a few we mean at least 100.🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 Fun fact: her favorite position to relax is a sploot. Violet can go home with kids at least 8 years old and would do best with another calm male dog. She can be mouthy/jumpy so she could use some positive reinforcement training to help her improve her manners. It wouldn’t take long, considering she learns FAST and will do just about anything for a treat. You can meet Violet and all the amazing pets in our care at 4950 Spectrum Blvd between 12pm-6pm. Violet is excited to meet you! 🎾🎾🎾🎾
