My personality

My story

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

Meet Max. He was born in May 2025. His pregnant mother was rescued from a hording situation.

Max is up-to-date on his shots and is already neutered.

He is very friendly, playful and looking for his forever home here in southern New Mexico. He is confident, enjoys toys and wants to be a part of any adventure.

He has started house training, but as with any puppy his age, his adopter would need to be patient and consistent for the next several months.

If you would like to add Max to your family, please contact us for an Application of Interest. We adopt our animals to the general public. You do not need to be a Veteran to adopt from our program.

Applications are followed by a home check to make sure the home is safe for a puppy and to make sure you are real and he will not end up as a bait dog. Max's safety is our first priority.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All adopters are required to fill out an application of interest/adoption. This application does not obligate you to adopt one of our dogs. Nor does it guarantee that you will be able to adopt. It just gives us the information we need to help you make the best match with our available dogs.

Our adoption fee is a tax deductible donation to our Spay/Neuter fund. This is to help with future dogs that come to the ranch. All adopted dogs/puppies come with spay/neuter, vaccinations and micro chips.

All adoptions are subject to a home check. We are not coming to judge you or your home. We just want to make sure that your home is a safe environment for the dog. Both the Application and home check must be completed before you can meet any available canines from our program.

Go meet their pets

Visitations on the ranch are by appointment only. Appointments are available between noon and 4 pm on most all good weather days. Please email us if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs or puppies.

We are an outdoor facility. All visitations are conducted in fenced yards around the property. If weather conditions are too bad for our canines, we may ask you to reschedule to another time.
