Meet Zoey 🤍
Zoey is a young, strong girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. Right now, she spends much of her day in her kennel because that’s where she feels most comfortable — new environments can be overwhelming, and she’s taking things one step at a time.
What we do know is this: Zoey is deeply human-focused, enjoys gentle attention, and has shown that she can truly shine when given patience, structure, and space to decompress. With the right guidance, she has the potential to build confidence and blossom in a home that understands going slow is sometimes the fastest way forward.
💛 Zoey’s adoption fee has been fully sponsored by a generous donor.
Zoey would do best in a home where:
• She can be the only dog, soaking up all the love
• Introductions to cats can happen slowly, if needed
• Any kids in the home are 8 years or older, with meet-and-greets to ensure comfort
• Her people understand that trust grows with patience and consistency
📍 4950 Spectrum Blvd, Reno
🕚 Open daily from 11 AM–6 PM
Zoey isn’t asking for perfection — just a home willing to meet her where she is and grow together from there. To learn more or talk through a potential match, visit SPCANEVADA.ORG or LINK IN BIO.

Meet our newest sanctuary resident, Alfie the spotted skunk! (Also known as Alfie Spotty Skunkel) 🦨
Alfie is an adult spotted skunk who was rescued after he was found near Desert Mountain with his leg caught in a trap. His leg was in bad shape, but thankfully, Dr. Driggers, one of our wonderful volunteer veterinarians, was able to do the surgery quickly, and even did it on his day off! His leg had to be fully amputated, but he's now recovering comfortably, eating and drinking well, and still manages to stomp his front leg as a warning signal, as skunks do.
We see so many animals that come in with injuries from traps. Snap traps, glue traps, and poison don’t discriminate, and can harm others than the intended target. Poison is the same way, and can even work its way up the food chain. Prevention is always the best method for rodent or wildlife control. A little extra effort on our part can mean fewer animals suffer avoidable injuries.
Because of the extent of his injury, Alfie won't be able to be released to the wild, but we’re going to give him the best life possible at SWCC. Welcome Alfie!

Sadie hasn’t quite been herself the past few days. 😟
She’s been more tired and withdrawn than usual, so our staff has been giving her extra attention, time out of her kennel, and space to truly relax. We can’t help but feel for her and wish she were spending her days in a home instead of waiting.
Sadie is a 9 year old gal with plenty of happy energy left. She’s generally playful, affectionate, and very much enjoys engaging with the people around her (including kids). She has so much love to give and would truly shine in a home environment.
Her previous owner shared that Sadie didn’t enjoy living with another dog, which is why she was returned. We don’t know exactly how she would do with a canine companion, as it may simply come down to the other dog’s temperament. As always, we do dog introductions at our rescue to help set everyone up for success. If you don't have a dog currently it may be best for her.
We are open to Sadie going into a foster or foster to adopt home, and we provide our foster families with everything a dog could possibly need. If you’re able to offer Sadie a temporary break or a permanent place to land, we would love to hear from you. Please consider filling out an online application at highsierraanimalrescue.org 💕
Many of our long-stay dogs could really use a break right now, whether that’s a weekend away from the shelter or a loving forever home.
