Story
Winston is our 21lb pup with a little more room to grow (but hopefully not in the ear dept. because he`s already at capacity!) He will be medium to large sized once fully grown. And he`s still a young lad, so he needs his forever home to train him in all of the ways it takes to be a good dog. And even with those big ears, he doesn`t use them much to listen! So his forever person just needs a little patience and a lot of love! Winston is a playful, energetic and smart boy. The person that adopts him will be gaining a very fine and handsome companion!Winston is at our Main Ranch location!Watermelon Mountain Ranch(Across from Cleveland High School)3251 Westphalia Blvd. NE Rio Rancho, NM 87144(505) 221-2359Wed-Sun 11am-4pm (adoptions and tours until 3pm)

Story
Meet Pepper! Pepper came to us from a hoarding and breeding situation as a tiny, 10-day old puppy. Her mom and her siblings have all been rehabilitated and adopted into forever homes, and now Pepper is still waiting on her turn. Pepper has had some trouble finding her forever family for a few reasons. Because we are a small rescue with a small reach, most of our dogs meet their families out at adoption events. Unfortunately, Pepper is pretty shy around new people. She tends to do well meeting people for a little while, but with so many strangers crowding her space as they come to meet dogs, it quickly becomes overwhelming for her. Pepper also seems to struggle in the same way when people force her to meet their dogs on leash. The combination of an uncomfortable new setting, crowd of strange faces, and unknown dogs with unknown attitudes is just simply too much for her to handle. We don't blame her at all, it's just an unfortunate set of circumstances that's kept her in foster care for quite a long time. That's another issue altogether; when people hear that a dog has spent a long time in care without being adopted, it tends to make people think there's something wrong with the dog. And of course in that moment when she's trying to climb inside her foster mom's hoodie to hide, we really can't blame these folks for making that assumption. In her foster home, however, Pepper is an entirely different dog. She is honestly an absolute delight. She's got the best smile (complete with a tiny underbite) and is essentially 100 pounds of wiggles stuffed into a 50 pound sack. She's incredibly playful and active, and would make an excellent exercise companion for an avid runner. She is also a snuggly potato, and thus would also make an excellent companion for an avid TV watcher. She's very smart, and so well behaved to the point where her 'disobedience' basically amounts to smiling and wiggling at you while still looking at the bowl of popcorn you said she couldn't have. Pepper gets along very well with all of the dogs and cats in her foster home. When dogs are introduced to her in a comfortable setting, she absolutely loves meeting and making new friends. She's able to actually 'turn off' at home and really let her inner party animal shine bright. Pepper's ideal home would have a yard to play in, a friend to wrestle with, and a relatively low amount of strange people invading her space all the time. She would love a family that enjoys hiking or running, but not necessarily one that expects her to attend a crowded event afterwards. She's outgoing, if by outgoing you mean going outside to the patio so she can come show you every single leaf she found on the ground (you have to act excited and impressed, it's the law). Pepper is potty trained, crate trained, and is spayed, chipped, and up to date on all of her vaccines. She's truly an awesome dog, she's just not an extrovert, and we really hope we can find a forever family willing to let her get comfy instead of dismissing her right away due to her anxiety in public. If you are interested in meeting Pepper, please visit www.bbanimalrescue.org/adopt and complete an adoption application. If you have any questions about Pepper, you can send us an email anytime at adoption@bbanimalrescue.org. Adoption fees cover a full age-appropriate DAPP vaccine series, Leptospirosis vaccine series, Rabies vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, Microchip, and Spay or Neuter. **Age-appropriate vaccines and spay/neuter are required by Bosque Buddies Animal Rescue and are non-negotiable.**

Story
Meet Dobby, the Boxer-Lab mix with a knack for adventure. Dobby's journey to the shelter began when he mistook a police car for a fun ride and hopped in when the officer wasn't looking. After a brief joyride and a siren serenade, staff gently escorted him to the shelter. Dobby is the life of the party - always ready to play or explore, and offer a cuddle. His boundless energy and loyal nature make him the perfect companion for anyone who loves laughter and has a zest for life. Adopt Dobby and turn life into an adventure shared with a new companion. Dobby will be 1 year old on October 31st. He is house-trained, loves walks, car rides, and playing outside with his chew toys. He does well with kids and doesn't mind their close contact or when they play around him. His foster also has a large, friendly female dog he enjoys, but he isn't good with cats or chickens. If you're interested in meeting Dobby, come to our adoption event on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month from 11am-2pm, located at 6300 San Mateo NE in the south Sprouts parking lot. Alternatively, we can arrange a Private Meet-and-Greet with the foster parent and your household with a completed application.

Story
Gryph is a 4-5 years old Boxer mix. At first he may seem shy but don't let that fool you! He is a big goofy guy who would love to have a family of his own. Gryph loves being part of the action. He loves to play and do zoomies. He is very smart and catches on quickly. He loves performing tricks and putting his own spin on each one, making them his own. So fully of personality! Gryph would do best in a home with older children and no cats.

Story
Woola is. sweet middle-aged dog that is ready to move right into your heart and home. Woola is a gentle and well-mannered boy who walks nicely on a leash and is house-trained. He appreciates a soft dog bed and pets from his humans. His chestnut brown eyes convey kindness. He enjoys outings to pet stores and seems to like car rides—he’s quite the adventurer! His short snout gives Woola a charming boxer-like appearance; did you know boxers can also be white? He may be mixed cattle dog or other breeds common to New Mexico, but regardless he is 100% good dog. We hope you’ll consider welcoming Woola into your home!

Story
The name Carmen means `song`, and this beautiful lady has an epic song full of longing and sadness, but mostly hope. Carmen is one of our longest residents, who for some reason has been overlooked, and has never found her forever home. It can be that she acts intimidating, and barks when meeting new people. We think its her way of protecting herself. Carmen likes to approach people at her own pace. But if you meet her with an open heart, and a trusting hand, she will want to be around you all of the time! Carmen loves her toys, and to play in the water; she really enjoys kiddie pools to cool off in the summer. She can be choosy about the dogs she plays with, and likes to be the boss! She would do best in a home without children and tall, secure fence. Even though she`s a senior lady, she still has some incredible `hops`! The amazing thing about Carmen is even though she`s had a life of being the underdog, she still has a song in her heart. Carmen just needs someone to hear it. Carmen is at our main ranch location! Email dogswmr@gmail.com to learn more information about her!

Meet Bolt! Every minute spent in his company becomes the new best moments of our lives! And at 33lbs, Bolt lives up to his superhero namesake. He`s a young and playful pup, with a lot of energy. He`s willing and able to learn all the ways it takes to be a super dog (He`s already mastered the `Sit` command!) He loves to play with other dogs, and also loves to snuggle after a good round of exercise! He is looking for a home with a lot of adventure and fun! If Bolt`s taught us anything, it`s that you never abandon a friend at a time of need, and Bolt needs his forever friend to give him the home he deserves. We sure hope it`s you! He`s ready to be your sidekick if you`re ready to be his hero!Bolt is now in a fantastic foster home! Email dogswmr@gmail.com to set up a meeting with him!

Give a big Howdy to Tex! This stunning, 66lb pitty can be choosy with people and dogs, but once he decides you`re in his cool book, get ready for a tidal wave of snuggles! Tex thrives with dogs his size who know how to balance playtime with chill vibes, and needs a home where there are no small dogs. And because Tex has a beautiful white coat, he needs limited outdoor time in the sun, and needs some doggy sunscreen (yes they make it!). Tex is a smart, wonderful doggie, and he is patiently waiting to find his forever home. He`s ready to ride off into the sunset with his forever partner!
