Story
Evie is a pretty and playful little pup! At almost 10lbs, Evie came to us with her adorable brother Stevie! Both are lovable, friendly and playful little dogs. They`re not a bonded pair of siblings, but if they could speak, I`m sure they`d say its ok if someone wanted to adopt them together! Evie is a very good natured little gal, but likes to be the boss. If you have another dog, we always recommend bringing them along to meet. The person that gives Evie her forever home will be blessed with having such a wonderful, squishy, sassy little angel by their side! Evie 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
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 dogswmr@gmail.com to set up a meet and greet with them!

Her name must be ironic, because Sassy is anything BUT sassy! At only 9.5lbs, this sweet little gal came to us so shy, she didn`t want to leave her carrier! And she`s clearly had babies in her past, and is used to being handled by people. So with some cajoling, treats and a lot of love and patience, Sassy has come out of her shell and her `sass` is coming out! She shows no signs of aggression with people or the other dogs around her (we haven`t even heard her voice!) and she takes her time to feel more comfortable in her new environment. She does well with the other dogs here that are her temperament, but she prefers to keep to herself, or to be in your lap getting all of the belly rubs she desires! She also likes to chew on nylabones, and loves when it`s time to eat! Sassy isn`t a dog built for the outdoors; she prefers the sheets to the streets! Sassy needs a home where she will get a lot of love and a lot of time to feel like she`s finally in her forever home. This wonderful little gal deserves the world! In a word; SASSY! Sassy 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.

Libby is our 12 year old doll with a LOT of love and life left to give her forever person. At a mere 7lbs, Libby came to us with an old scar on her left ear (maybe she was a pirate dog?) and a lovable attitude. She definitely needs a home where they can give her A LOT of attention, because she does not like to be left alone. She does well with other dogs that are go at her gentle pace. If you have another dog, we highly recommend bringing them along to meet! Libby loves to give kisses, so if you want a lippy from Libby, you`re just gonna have to find a little room in your place, and your heart, for this wonderful little lady. Because she deserves to have the next chapter of her life be her best one!
