Story
Here comes princess Peaches! At 11lbs, this sweet little lady is in desperate need of home, more so than others. She just wants to be loved and held all the time, but her biggest issue is that she is people selective, and once she loves you, she`s fiercely loyal and lovable. Clever 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, and we cannot wait until she finds her forever person who will give her that and more!(Peaches has what appears to be a heart arrhythmia that comes and goes with stress, as she is a Parvo survivor! Because of this, 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
(Houdini has a hearing impairment in his left-ear that may affect his daily life. A medical waiver must be signed during his adoption) Houdini must be a magician, because he has us all hypnotized! At 11lbs, Houdini is one magical little lapdog! He`s very good natured, and has the funniest bark. Houdini is hearing impaired (may be why he has a funny bark and grumble!) He also lives up to his name because he is a great escape artist! He can easily climb a gate or fence, so he needs a home with a very secure yard that has no areas he can climb up. Houdini is also great with other dogs his sweet temperament. If you have another dog, we recommend bringing them along to meet. You better adopt this marvelous boy before he [POOF!] disappears! Houdini 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 dogswmr@gmail.com to set up a meet and greet with them!
