Meet Lilly! This beautiful 60 pound girl has such a beautiful story. Miss Lilly was an emotional support doggie to her owner who suddenly passed away. Right after, she was taken to the Bernalillo Shelter where she was soon put on their Euthanasia list. A friend of the lady who previously owned Lilly contacted us in hopes that we could save her as she knew what an amazing and sweet girl she was.
Currently she is working with a trainer, who is helping her overcome her need to guard people. She is doing fantastic with her training and it letting all people come and love on her. The trainer is also willing to work with her in the home with whoever is interested in adopting her. She would need a mandatory trial adoption during this training period, to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Lilly does need to be a single dog in the home.
If you would like to meet Lilly, she is at our main ranch location, or you can 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.
