Through no fault of their own these three dogs are the longest residents at the Nevada SPCA. They are all 3-4 years old, have all been at the shelter for several years, and are all unfairly maligned “breeds”. They are all also dreaming of a home for the holidays...
"Hi, my name is Apollo and I’m three years old. I have been at the shelter for most of my life. I think it has something to do with me being a Staffordshire Terrier mix but I don’t know why that should matter. I’m an affectionate boy and I love people so much that if you even look my way, I’m so happy to see you that I wiggle all over. They call me a wiggle-butt. I’m not sure how I feel about other pets though. I just want to be your one and only and if you adopt me I’ll give you all the unconditional love you’ll ever need. I just need someone to look past my breed and into my heart." 
"Just like my name, Sugar, I am very sweet. I’m a 3-4 year old Bully mix girl. I love older children and some dogs my size. I love to play with all dogs although I don’t always know my own strength. But I am very well behaved and will listen to you when you tell me to do something. I have so much love to give I just need someone to give it to. Couldn’t you use a little Sugar in your life?"
"Hi, my name is Sandie (top picture) and I’m a three year old chocolate Bully mix. I have progressed leaps and bounds in trusting and loving people. Before being rescued by the Nevada SPCA, I lived on a golf course for several months. I was so afraid of people that I wouldn’t let anyone catch me. Thank goodness the people from the SPCA didn’t give up on me. Now people are my friends. And did I tell you I give the best hugs? "
If you, or someone you know, can give Apollo, Sugar, or Sandie a loving forever home, please come to the Nevada SPCA to meet these wonderful dogs. Help their holiday wishes come true.
