Story
Apple Jacks is our adorably grumpy, 14lb boy that would love to be in a cozy, calm environment. He may be very nervous at a first meeting, but please give him time to get to know you! Kids are not for him, so he'd prefer to be in a home that has none! He's an older dog, who can be a bit of a grouch (I mean, look at his third pic!), but he knows what he likes, so let him decide if you're the one for him!This pet is located at:Going to the Dogs & Cats Resale StoreCottonwood Mall10000 Coors Bypass NW Use the Main Entrance Between MOR & JC PenneyAlbuquerque, NM 87114Phone: (505) 867-5347Adoption hours at our location are 11am-4pm, Mon-Sat, and 12pm-5pm Sun(Please arrive by 3pm to have plenty of time to meet with our adoptable pets)

Story
Templeton came to us with a different name, and was then adopted and renamed. Sadly, he came back to us from that very tough situation, so he needs a lot of time and patience to get back to being the sweet boy we all knew him as. At 10lbs, he is very lovable while being held, and would love to be someone's lapdog! Even though he's tiny, he has a ton of love for someone who's willing to give him a chance.

Story
Belle is our 17lb girl who is a beauty of a little beast! She has the prettiest white eyelashes and the cutest little grin! She just loves a calm environment; at 7 years old, Belle deserves a relaxing home. Belle was treated for a tick borne fever for 30 days. She is still testing positive, but the infection was treated, and she's doing super! She's so smart, enjoys playing fetch with squeaky toys, enjoys a nice walk, and then a good long nap on a willing lap! Belle would be the perfect addition for a home that is looking for the sweetest little cuddle bug!This pet is located at:Going to the Dogs & Cats Resale StoreCottonwood Mall10000 Coors Bypass NW Use the Main Entrance Between MOR & JC PenneyAlbuquerque, NM 87114Phone: (505) 867-5347Adoption hours at our location are 11am-4pm, Mon-Sat, and 12pm-5pm Sun(Please arrive by 3pm to have plenty of time to meet with our adoptable pets)

Story
Christopher is an absolute sweetheart. He's 16lbs, and does have some scars on his back that will most likely not grow fur back. He has surely been through some things. But that doesn't stop him from being a wonderfully kind and incredible dog. He loves to go on walks, and is a very easy going boy. He definitely deserves someone that's gonna treat him right for the rest of his life!

Story
If you're looking for an easy going, sweet, wonderful little pup, then Lydia is your girl! At around 8lbs, Lydia loves to just chill in her own space, and at her own pace. This wonderful dog unfortunately has her senior ailments. She has arthritis in her back legs, and hard of hearing. But don't let those little issues deter you from adopting this incredible little lady. She'd make the PERFECT little office dog, because she never makes a peep! Lydia is one of those rare sweethearts that shouldn't be overlooked!This pet is located in a foster home. If you're interested in adopting them, please contact fosterwmr@aol.com

I just got to ACR. I am shy and VERY nervous and so I nip at people because I don't understand what is going on. I think I need lots of love and affection so I can trust someone. Hopefully someone will want to love me and give me the time I need.

Story
ACR named me Digit because two of my toes on my left hind leg are missing - they don't know why. I am a little shy at first but I do love to sit in your lap. I am sweet and need a friend. When I came to ACR, one of my ear drums was damaged and then I got an ear infection. Both have been cured but I tend to walk in big circles. The hope is that I will eventually stop doing that. I need a home that will give me the love and attention I need to become the dog I know I can be.
