Story
Here comes princess Peaches! At 11lbs, this poor little girl is in desperate need of home, more so than others. She just wants to be loved and held all the time. Her biggest issue is that she is people selective, and she mostly prefers males. But Peaches will let you know right away if she trusts you. Upon initial meeting her and picking her up, she may be very vocal before finally getting picked up. We think she may have had a traumatic past that causes her to react selectively to people. But once she`s comfortable with you, she`s an absolute love. Peaches just knows what works best for her.Peaches has what appears to be a heart arrhythmia that comes and goes with stress, so a medical wavier must be signed for adoption.Peaches is at our Cottonwood Mall location!Going to the Dogs (& Cats)Resale Shop & Adoption CenterCottonwood Mall(2nd Level next to MOR Furniture)10000 Coors Bypass NWABQ NM 87114505-867-5347Mon-Sat 11-5pm.

Story
Sweetheart most definitely lives up to his name! At 9.5lbs, Sweetheart is a scruffy, smart, sweet little boy who can be a little shy when he first meets someone. And when he DOES feel comfortable with you, he sometimes speaks with his mouth, with playful nibbles, so we think a home without any young children would be best for him. He does like to be with the other dogs here, because he loves to be playful, so if you have another dog, we recommend bringing them along to meet! He`s slowly learned to trust humans, because when we first got him, it was clear that he was terrified of people at too young of an age. But all Sweetheart needed was time, patience and understanding, and now he`s a playful, loving boy. And if you give him the time and love he needs, Sweetheart will make the greatest little companion in his forever home. Sweetheart is in a fantastic foster home!Email cathrynwmr@gmail.com to set up a meet and greet with them!

Honk if you love Lexus! (BEEP BEEP!) Lexus is 11lbs of beautiful, brown-eyed, puppy cuteness. She still has time to grow (we think she`ll be small to medium sized once fully grown.) and she still needs work on training. But Lexus is so smart and loving, she should be able to pick up new tricks in no time! She loves to play with her sister Shelby, so she gets along great with other dogs. Lexus is ready to vroom her way into your heart and park her little body into her forever home!

Story
Pinky is a perky, playful Pomeranian pup with a lot of pep to her step! At 17lbs, Pinky is small enough for a lap, but has the attitude and smarts of a dog three times her size! She LOVES to play with toys, and loves to play fetch. Pinky is looking for a home that will give her a lot of activity, and then some lap-naptime once she`s tired herself out. Pinky sees life through rose colored glasses, and needs her forever person to give her all the love and belly rubs she requires! Life will never feel stinky with Pinky by your side!
