OUR NEVADA SPCA WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!!
During our LIVE TELEVISION BROADCAST on KVBC CH3’s Noon Show last Friday, the 29th, filmed while the adoptathon was in progress, we had MANY phone calls and visitors interested in adopting the six wonderful NSPCA dogs that spent the day with us! We enjoyed the canine company of “Toby”, “Tigger”, “Tippy”, “Jr”, “Lexy”, and “Midnight Louie”!
Toby and Lexy were adopted and went happily off to their new homes, and a couple that visited our adoptathon ended up going to the NSPCA shelter afterward and adopted “Lady Belle”! Nathan’s Detroit Pizza donated their delicious pizza to the affair, and JOHN FREDERICKS of KVBC CH3 interviewed us and took the television viewers on a “tour” of our facility….they even got to watch Justin Vogel, our guitar/piano instructor perform!
All in all it was a wonderfully successful afternoon. We hope to have many more adoptathons to aid in matching the perfect family with the perfect pet! Until then, please call and/or visit the Nevada SPCA if you are searching for that perfect match. They will be happy to help you find a new friend! www.nevadaspca.org or (702) 873-SPCA (7722).
