Story
I am a very sweet girl. I was hit by a car and had permanent nerve damage in my left rear leg. It was amputated but I don't notice it - I can run, play, jump and do everything I need to do. The vet thinks I had distemper as a youngster because I tend to have "tics". None of that stops me! I still need love and a furever home. Will you be willing to love me always??

Story
ABQ Chihuahua just picked me up yesterday (1/27/26) so my personality has not come out yet. Right now I am shy, scared, and am not sure what is going on. I will sit with you but am not really very affectionate at this time. Give me time to decompress and ACR will let you know who I really am as time goes by!

Story
I lost my beloved person when he died and after that I was living in a bad situation where I was abused for nearly a year.  Then when I was surrendered, I was really withdrawn and scared.  I wasn’t used to being around other dogs so this has been a new experience for me.  But now I am happy Cappy and my foster says I am an adorable senior gentleman, about 10 years old.  I like to stay on top of what is happening in the home and especially with the others in my pack that are smaller and younger than me.  While I’m not really a lap dog, I do like to be close to my person whether chilling out or doing some activity.  I walk well on a leash, love car rides, and have learned to use the doggy door.  I wait my turn for treats and take them gently.  I confess that I’m a tad overweight, but we have been working on that.  I’ve lost about 7 # since coming into care and I’m getting a little waist now.  I am definitely ready to find my fur-ever family.  Could it be you?

I am a senior lady. I can be feisty - sometimes I can nip when being picked up. I like to sit with you but I am pretty independent. I would love to have a happy, secure home to live out the rest of my days.

I came to ACR from the Socorro Animal Shelter. I was surrendered by my owner. I look a bit scared in my picture - a little shell-shocked. I am settling in. ACR will have more details on me as my foster learns about me.

I am a senior dog. I was found as a stray. I am blind but that does not stop me from living a great life. I like to do my own thing. I will sit beside you but even though I get along with other dogs, I prefer to be alone.
