My story

Skittles is an American pit-bull terrier mix. She is very shy and slow to warm up, but with some time and encouragement, she'll be your best friend. This sweet girl came extremely pregnant...but all of her puppies have since been adopted. She has grown leaps and bounds in learning to trust people. Skittles is looking for an experienced dog lover willing to see her potential, see the puppy underneath her fear, and give her the love she deserves. Once she warms up, she loves to greet you with whole body wiggles of excitement. A quiet, adult home would be the best fit for Skittles where she can receive all the attention and love. She is dog selective, so a meet and greet with yours is required.

Please consider meeting Skittles at our main ranch location. For more information, please email dogswmr@gmail.com

More about this shelter

Our shelter had it's beginnings in the mid 90's and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2001. The dream of Lee and Sophia DiClemente has grown to be the largest no-kill animal shelter in New Mexico. Lee passed in 2010, but Sophia carries on with the support of a small staff, a large number of volunteers, and numerous donors - large and small.
