My story

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

Roo is soon to be `paw-roled` from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with two inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program that is designed to equip the dog with a nice foundation of training that will help them succeed in their new home. Each of these dogs will go home potty and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors; to ensure a successful adoption, we are providing four training sessions to adopters, so you can learn what your dog knows, and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. These dogs also go home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, are fully up-to-date on all vaccines and medications, and are spayed and neutered.

Say hello to Roo, a 1.5-year-old Terrier mix with a heart as big as her ears! This sweet girl is the total package — affectionate, friendly, and always ready to make a new best friend.

From the moment you meet her, Roo is all tail wags and happy energy. She`s the kind of dog who seeks out connection — whether it`s leaning in for pets, nudging your hand for more scritches, or giving you those big puppy eyes that say `just one more treat?` (Yes, she`s very treat motivated — training with her is both fun and rewarding!)

Roo is the perfect companion if you`re looking for a loving, playful, and loyal friend. She`d thrive in a home where she can get plenty of attention, continue her basic training, and go on daily walks or playtime in the yard. With her eager-to-please personality, she’s ready to bond closely with her new family.

Come meet Roo and see for yourself how special she is — your new best friend might just be one tail wag away!
