Story
Oakley is soon to be `paw-roled` from our Paws in the Pen program in partnership with the New Mexico Corrections Department! Each dog is paired with two inmate trainers and enrolled in an 8-week training program that is designed to equip the dog with a nice foundation of training that will help them succeed in their new home. Each of these dogs will go home potty and crate trained with a whole list of cues and basic behaviors; to ensure a successful adoption, we are providing four training sessions to adopters, so you can learn what your dog knows, and an invitation to weekly discounted drop-in classes. These dogs also go home with a biothane leash and collar, 6 months of heartworm prevention, are fully up-to-date on all vaccines and medications, and are spayed and neutered.Oakley is a handsome 1 year and 8 month old male dog with a stunning red coat and an energetic, expressive personality. Full of life and enthusiasm, Oakley loves to play—especially when toys are involved—and brings a joyful spark wherever he goes.He is highly treat-motivated and very receptive to training, making him a great candidate for continued learning. Oakley is still developing his self-regulation skills and can be quite expressive, but with structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he is eager to grow into his best self.Oakley would thrive with an active family or in a home with plenty of safely enclosed land where he can run, explore, and burn off his energy. One of his quirks is a funny fascination with shoes—particularly when they’re still on your feet—but it’s all part of his playful nature.Sweet, smart, and full of potential, Oakley is looking for a home that will continue his training, provide guidance, and support him as he matures into a confident, well-balanced adult dog. With the right family, Oakley is sure to shine.

Story
Ajax is a 2-year-old Lab mix with lots of energy and a playful spirit.

He would love a home that can give him space to run, play, and burn off his energy.Ajax is looking for a cat-free home and must live in a household with absolutely no cats. With consistent guidance, exercise, and love, Ajax will make a fun and loyal companion for the right family.

Story
Larry is a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix with a tender heart and a cautious nature. He is very scared right now and needs someone who truly understands that trust takes time. At first, Larry isn’t sure if people are there to help or to harm, and he needs gentle reassurance to feel safe.By moving slowly, respecting his space, and showing consistent kindness, Larry begins to realize that he’s surrounded by love. Once he starts to feel secure, his sweet personality quietly shines through. He’s a little soul who wants to trust—he just needs the patience and compassion to get there.Larry is looking for a calm, loving home with someone willing to give him the time he needs to grow comfortable and confident. With patience and understanding, this sweet boy has so much love waiting to be shared.

Story
Olaf is a 3-year-old husky with a gentle heart and a playful spark. On leash, he can be a little funny—he’ll get excited, then unsure, and suddenly burst into zoomies or throw in a playful bow as if to say, “Wait… are we playing?” It’s all part of his charming, goofy personality.Olaf is friendly and truly enjoys head and neck rubs, leaning in when he feels comfortable. He’s the kind of dog who wants to connect, but you can tell he’s still figuring out that the world is a safe place. He’ll engage, then politely back off, taking things at his own pace. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, Olaf will blossom into a loyal, loving companion—one who just needs a little reassurance to know he’s finally safe and home.
