Story
Hi friends, I'm Oboe, a sweet young guy looking for my fur-ever home. The shelter thinks I'm about six months old, so I'm definitely still a little pupper. I can be a little hesitant when I first meet new dog and human friends, so if you have doggos at home, please bring them with you so we can all get to know each other. Once I warm up, I'm a very playful pup with plenty of energy. I'm looking for someone who's ready to play and keep training me on the basics of being a good boy. If you're looking for an adorable new adventure buddy, I can't wait to meet you and make beautiful music together!

Story
Sara Lee is the sweetest speckled little gal ready for the good life. She recently gave birth to seven adorable pups and kept them safe and healthy while they were on their own. Some kind friends in Gallup picked them up, cared for them and sent them here to Animal Humane so they can find their forever homes. Sara Lee has been quiet and calm while caring for her young family. She's now getting some much deserved TLC with a foster friend and is looking for a forever home where she can continue to rest and recuperate and receive as much love as she gives. Her shelter friends note, "She is the best mama and a great dog. She is truly one of the sweetest dogs we have ever had, and we get a lot of sweet babies." If you're ready to open your heart to a sweet girl who needs some love, you know what they say - nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.

Story
Meet Tammy - she's sweet as sugar and ready to show you why everyone who meets her immediately falls in love. She's a full-grown young lady - the perfect size for walks, relaxing on a patio, snuggling on the couch - whatever you want to do is good with Tammy. She also loves to run and play and can show her silly side when she gets excited. She adores people, especially ladies, and is great around puppies and dogs her size or smaller. She's also shown a polite tolerance for cats with proper introductions. Tammy can be a little unsure around larger dogs and taller people with deep voices, so it's always a good idea to bring the entire family - including any furry family members - in so everyone can meet and get to know one another. Tammy will be listening for your arrival with her adorably floppy ears - she can't wait to meet you!

Albuquerque, NM
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cassie is short for the ancient Greek, Kassandra, which means prophetess. What future can I foretell? Easy! If you choose me, we will have great adventures and lots of love. You see (fortune telling pun intended), I'm an active, puppyish girl who loves to play and loves attention, not the least because I'm so beautiful. But I love to give attention, including to chewy things and in the cuddle mode. But if we go on walks and hikes and collaborate on me learning tricks like come, stay, sit, and such, we'll make a great future together. Let's make that future happen! A team member shares, "Pretty girl with her black and white speckled coat. Very affectionate and sweet, sits politely to take a treat. Loves affection and to be close to you. Easy on leash, a real sweetheart."

Story
I’m such a good, goofy boy. And my brindle markings make me handsome to boot! Like many teens, I’m a bit shy at first, but once you get to know me you’ll see a have a heart of gold. I’m smart and ready to learn new tricks and commands. I come when called, know “sit” and am motivated by treats. I’m still a youngish pup and though I’m kinda big, I’d happily sit on your lap. I've got so much joy to give and can't wait to find a family who's ready for loving pup energy and endless cuddles!
