Jennifer Nevada SPCA I’ve survived cruelty and starvation. Still, I believe in people and only look ahead, hopeful for bright days of loving contentment. My name is Jennifer, and I am a pretty bully mix, about 5 years of age and spayed. I love leaning up against gentle people and chasing laser lights. Please adopt me and show me the best of human nature. The Nevada SPCA is a no-kill animal sanctuary at 4800 W. Dewey Drive, Las Vegas. For more information, visit nevadaspca.org or call 702-873-7722.

Leno, The Animal Foundation My name is Leno (I.D. No. A789298), and I’m a 3-year-old male Lhasa apso waiting for you to come meet me. I’m an easygoing fella who loves quick walks in the sun and afternoon naps in front of the TV. Squeaky toys and belly rubs make me happy, too. Let’s find out if you’d like me as much as I’d like you! Adopt me today. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily at 655 N. Mojave Road, Las Vegas. For more information, visit animalfoundation.com or email adoptions@animalfoundation.com.

Kiri, All fur love animal society Kiri is a cuddly cutie pie who loves to be held and will come sit with her person. She has to be supervised when the litter box is being cleaned and knows the sound of the can of cat food.

For more information, visit allfurloveanimalsociety.org, call 702-362-5617 or email at adoptions@allfurloveanimalsociety.org.

Chewbacca, English Springer Rescue America My name is Chewbacca, and I am an English springer spaniel. I am 5 years old, and my favorite game is playing fetch. I love to chase birds, but I walk very well on the lead. I lost my left eye a long time ago. If I am hungry, I will pick up my food bowl and let you know. I am microchipped, neutured and fully vaccinated. For more information, call 702-337-6560, 702-337-6335 or visit springerrescue.org.

Patches, Animal Network Meet Patches, a 2-year-old American bulldog mix who loves people and treats. This gentle giant is 70 pounds of pure snuggle. Patches is calm, mild-mannered and obedient. He does well with other dogs, walks well on a leash and is house-trained. Patches has some separation anxiety and may need a special crate or family that is home often while he learns that he will no longer be abandoned. For more information, call 702-582-7534 or email adoptmetodayan@aol.com.

Lilly, Happy Home Animal Sanctuary Lilly is a 6-year-old medium-haired silver and grey Himalayan mix who has been waiting seven months for a forever home. A real beauty queen, she was abandoned.

Allen and Cheryl Jackson of Las Vegas said, “Gingersnap McLeod, in a bold move after a period of homelessness, selected her new family among the humans bustling about the intersections of Desert Inn and Pecos McLeod on a 112-degree day in July.”

Christina from Spring Valley said, “This is Taco the cat. She has been my source of eternal joy for 13 years now. We just found out she has cancer of the mouth and won’t be with us for much longer. I’m so grateful she’s been by my side as I will be by hers.”
