Story

Valkyrie is a one-year-old dog with a quiet spirit and a heart that’s still learning how to feel safe. He’s very timid and not comfortable with hands-on touch yet, but he is making progress—especially with leash training, which he’s just beginning to understand. Valkyrie will need a truly special home: one that’s patient, calm, and committed to helping a shy dog build confidence at his own pace. His future family must be willing to follow specific protocols and work closely with one of our trainers to support his ongoing rehabilitation. Consistency and understanding will be key to his success. While Valkyrie isn’t the kind of dog who will jump into your arms right away, he has the potential to form deep, meaningful bonds with people who respect his boundaries and celebrate small victories. Watching him learn to trust will be incredibly rewarding for the right adopter. If you have experience with fearful dogs—or are ready to learn with guidance—and can offer a stable, low-pressure environment, Valkyrie may be the dog who quietly changes your life.December 27, 2025, 5:36 pm

Story

Hospice Home Needed We are searching for a very special person (or family) to give one of our dogs the one thing she deserves most: love and comfort for the rest of her life. This sweet girl has cancer in her jaw. We are continuing to look for a rescue, but we want to be honest—the odds are low. Surgery may not improve her quality of life, may not be successful, and would likely cost thousands of dollars with a specialist. Because of that, we believe the kindest path forward is hospice care, not more invasive treatment. What she needs now isn’t a miracle—it’s a home. A quiet place. A soft bed. Someone to love her, advocate for her, and cherish the time she has left. Someone who will let her enjoy good days, help her through the hard ones, and allow her to leave this world with dignity when the time comes. We will support her hospice family however we can and be here every step of the way. She is still here. She still wants affection, comfort, and connection. She still has love to give. If you’ve ever opened your heart to a hospice animal—or think you might be able to—please reach out. Even sharing this post helps more than you know. We know this is a huge ask, knowing this is absolutely heartbreaking, but no dog should have to spend her last days in a shelter. Please help us make sure that her story ends with love, not loneliness in a kennel at a shelter. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143January 10, 2026, 2:36 pm

Nessie

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Las Vegas, NM

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Nessie. ♥&#239&#184&#143 Nessie arrived at our shelter on Thursday January 8th. She had, at some point, been shot in the face with a .22. She is only about 1 year old, still just a baby, and despite the unimaginable pain she’s endured, she greets everyone with softness and trust. Thanks to the compassionate team at Brainerd Animal Health Center, Nessie was rushed in for emergency medical care. The bullet shattered multiple teeth, all of which had to be removed, and her gums required sutures. She also has open wounds that are currently draining as her body works to heal. X-rays and photos of her injuries after treatment are attached so you can see what this sweet girl has survived in her short life. What breaks our hearts most is that Nessie is nothing but kind. She is calm, loving, and incredibly well-mannered — a dog who clearly only wants to be loved in return. Even after being hurt so deeply, she still trusts people and allows us all to assess and treat her wounds with little protest. Nessie is a truly special dog, and she deserves a future filled with safety, comfort, and compassion. She will be up for adoption soon so if anyone might be interested in adopting a truly amazing dog, please reach out! For now, please keep Nessie in your thoughts as she heals. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143January 10, 2026, 3:22 pm

Sakari

Husky

Female, Adult

Las Vegas, NM

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Sakari is a special dog who will need a very special home. She is extremely fearful and has clearly spent a long time living on the streets, which has shaped her independent nature. Because of this, Sakari will not be placed in just any home. Her adopter must be patient, experienced, and willing to work closely with a professional trainer to help her continue building trust and confidence. Despite her fears, Sakari is very intelligent and observant, and she shows great potential with the right guidance and structure. She will do best in a calm, understanding environment where expectations are realistic and progress is allowed to happen at her pace. Sakari isn’t for everyone—but for the right person committed to giving her the time, training, and compassion she needs, she has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding companion.December 24, 2025, 2:47 pm
