My story

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

FROSTY
Some souls endure the storm and come out shimmering—and Frosty is one of them. This snowy-coated Aussie mix may have lost an eye, but he’s gained a whole new lease on life. Smart, affectionate, and always up for adventure, Frosty has a way of connecting that feels more like understanding than companionship.

He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and loves hiking, running, and learning new things. Agility training could be right up his alley. And he’s got a signature move—gently dropping his head on your shoulder, like a quiet “I trust you” from the universe.

Frosty is an active smart dog with high prey drive (no cats or small dogs). He is energetic and fun and loving with humans as well as with dogs his size and larger.

He’s looking for someone who sees the beauty in strength, sensitivity, and second chances. Frosty is ready to be your adventure buddy, your shoulder leaner, your soulful friend.

+++++

Frosty is neutered, up to date with vaccines, dewormed and microchipped. He's an adult about 3 yrs old. He was born on one of the reservations we work with.

More about this rescue

We work with the animals at three local Indian tribes (pueblos). We have a spay/neuter called, Door2Door, we assist animals with medical emergencies, prevention, education. We rehab and re-home the unwanted, abandoned, and neglected. At the time of adoption, we bring the pet to your home to make sure all family members including all fur babies get along and all are onboard and committed to the pet. We have an adoption process and we like to stay in touch with the families for the life of the pet.
