My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I don't think there is a happier puppy on the planet than Chorizo is. This boy loves life beyond belief.

And that could be due to his first 6 months. He was picked up as a stray and never reclaimed and shortly after being sprung from the shelter he came down with parvo. After a stay at the vet's and then more recovery at home, he was finally able to learn how much fun puppies and and should have.

However, his early life left him without the socialization that he needs and while he is much better, he needs a home that will continue to work with him. He is still very shy in new situations and meeting new people. He will go behind his human's legs or under a chair to assess the situation. He also will still nip when he is excited, so he needs a home with no small children.

Chorizo loves to romp and play with other dogs. He makes friends instantly with any 4-legger he meets. And he is full of energy! He needs lots of playtime and romps every day. Being so young, he is still in the puppy chewing stage and nothing is safe if he decides it's a chew toy!! He also loves dragging empty food bowls all over the house and yard!

Chorizo is neutered, up-to-date on shots, microchipped and neutered. All he needs is his very own family to complete his life. If that is you, please contact chris@allearsbassetsanctuary.com for more info and an application. Chorizo is currently in NM.

More about this rescue

All Ears is a new basset rescue/sanctuary in New Mexico. Our goal is to help the
bassets of New Mexico and the surrounding states who are homeless and need
human love and kindness. Too many animals are killed in shelters or puppy mills
every year. Our goal is to save as many of these furbabies as we can and get them
to loving furever homes.

Our bassets come from shelters, auctions and owner relinquishments. When the economy is bad, many animals
suffer. We are trying to relieve some of that pain.

We do this by relying on foster homes and other volunteers to help us save these beautiful furbabies.
