dle . At some point, Frosty likely had a family before becoming homeless on one of the reservations we work with. Something tragic happened there, and Frosty was left with a severe eye injury. In remarkable fashion, he sought out a kind family and showed them that he needed help. They contacted us immediately, and Frosty was rushed to the vet, where his injured eye was surgically removed. Today, Frosty is healed and thriving, and he’s hoping for an active family who can help him continue learning — or remembering — what it means to be loved and included. Frosty’s adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. We believe he is about three to four years old. He would do best as an only dog, or possibly with a compatible female dog. He is not a match for a home with smaller male dogs or cats. FROSTY strongly prefers being indoors, likely because life was very hard for him when he was living outside. He will likely love hiking and walks. He is naturally alert and does a great job letting his people know when something seems off. Because Frosty has one eye, busy multi-dog environments can sometimes make him anxious — he can’t always see who is approaching — which is why he may be happiest as the only dog in the home. Frosty would thrive in a home in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area with an active person or family who enjoys interacting with their dog. He may be a bit too rambunctious for small children, but older, respectful kids would be just fine. If you think Frosty might be a good fit for your family, please email desertpawsnmgmail to check availability and start the application process. We would love to introduce you to this wonderful boy and help him find the safe, loving home he so deeply deserves.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
