My story

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

This is a very sweet boy named Vito. This pup is a gentle giant. He is a 56 pound puddle of love. He’s kind, sensitive, loving, and affectionate. He trusts and gives because he is a trusting, giving dog despite his crappy start in life. He walks like a dream on the leash. Vito's temperament is friendly and his way is easy. He’s a true gentleman in a large puppy body. He rides beautifully in a car. His first birthday is on January 18. He would love to celebrate his birthday with his new family!

Additional adoption info

We ask for home photos from adopters coming from a distance (home visit). We adopt locally and to out of staters. We aren't currently part of a transport system so applicants need to come to Desert Haven Animal Rescue (Truth or Consequences, NM) to meet their pet. We can schedule meetings flexibly, any day of the week, including weekends.
