Dogs for Adoption in New Mexico, USA

Posted Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Chelsea was picked up as a stray and was just a big mop of a dog when she came to the shelter. Once being groomed we determined that matted hair had caused her ballet stance, which we find adorable. She has a leaky valve which requires two meds twice a day. One is chewable and she eats it like candy. The other goes in her food and she just eats that up too. She is 10 years old, gets along with other dogs, sleeps in the foster mom''s bed, and cuddles in her lap. Chelsea does have a bit of an independent streak and will go off and sit in the sun at times. Chelsea is currently in foster. If you would like to visit with her please contact her foster mom at claireluvsdoxiesaol. Chelsea''s fee is $60. Additional licensing fees may apply.

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Ramon is a 95 pound mixed breed dog that recently came into the shelter injured. He had cracked and bloody paws, it looked like he had been running free long enough to hut himself. He received medical care in our clinic and has recovered enough to start looking for a new home. Ramon has been aged at about 5 years old so he should be done growing. He passed all his assessments but has only had limited playgroup time because of his injuries. In his few playgroups he has been relaxed with dogs although not the most playful guy in the group, it''s hard to blame him with painful bloody feet though.

Posted Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (short coat). The most Devoted, Loyal companion = ROCK STAR PERFECT !!! Hi there, my name's Maximilian, aka Maxor cause I am ! Don't be fooled by my stoic “bulldog” looks (that's a joke folks, I'm just mirroring my friends here in rescue...) ~ I’m really a 3 year old, neutered male American Staffordshire Terrier who's known to be a really GENTLE, laid back, CALM, “Momma's boy” that loves to cuddle or lay quietly and content at your feet. A big, love~a~bull clown that's into focusing on and frolicking with my human and various canine friends, especially my new BFF, the glorious gorgeous Ms Saphire ~ what a LUCKY boy I am ! SWEET SNUGGLE BUNNY looking for the cuddly type, that's me, Me, ME!!! I have a super STABLE, even temperament so I'm CALM, quiet, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, easy to train, SUPER affectionate, extremely GENTLE and very well behaved indoors knowing that's the place to be kicked back. I’m a TOTAL house dog and a very SWEET boy who’s super socialized, housebroken, crate trained and I even sit nicely for treats. In fact, until just recently I was abandoned in the country to fend for myself, living on my own after I'd enjoyed living in an indoor home my entire life... we suspect my previous humans (HA !) moved and couldn't take me so out into the wild I went. (Yes, this was witnessed, NOT made up.) No hard feelings though, life is GOOD these days with people who appreciate what a STELLAR PERSONALITY and LOYAL FRIEND I truly am! I make sure to announce the arrival of any strangers with a short series of alarm barks designed to alert you to unknown visitors but I’m especially good with people ! My foster mom, Mare herself, says I'm an absolute “GOOD BOY” for my devotion in checking on and in with her ~ while all the other dogs here run inside quickly at night for the cookie they know awaits them, I start out and then instantly double back to check on “Mom,” making sure she's okay and staying right with her as we walk inside together ! She calls me her SPECIAL “breed ambassador,” guess that means I’m a GOOD BOY! I have a heart of gold and learn really quickly 'cause I love to please my human(s), especially in response to an experienced, calm, assertive pack leader that I respect. She says I'm the PERFECT companion because I'm such a sweetie and have a heart as big as all outdoors! (I love her too :) ) I’d really like to have a special person(s) of my very own, one who’ll fulfill my dream of having a pack leader, teach me new things and maybe even take me to classes where I can show off my talents ~ I promise to shower YOU with love and a life time of devotion in return! Why wait??? Simply call Mare at (505)316-2089 for a private "By Appointment Only" showing at our "Adoptions in the Park" !!! Or contact us via our petabulls/adopt website. PLEASE include YOUR phone number on all inquiries as we are RARELY around the computer these days :) OR come meet the PACK at our Wild Pet Food Plus Pet Adoption event Saturday, Jan 19th, from 12 noon to 5pm - 3301 Menaul Blvd NE Suite 10, Albuquerque, NM 87107. We hope to see YOU there !!!
