Story
Meet Tate! He is a beautiful Black Lab Mix who just wants all the love! He is extremely friendly and loves people and kids. He loves walks and having a toy to play with on his down time. He is dog selective so a meet and greet is required with your current dog(s). He does tend to display signs of separation anxiety, so someone who is home more often is needed. He does do well in a crate for shorter periods of time such as running the occasional errand. Come and see if Tate would fit your family!You can meet Tate at our main ranch location Wednesday-Sunday from 11am-3pm or email dogswmr@gmail.com

Story
Have you always wanted to be a dogs one and only? Are you willing to put in some work to win the heart of this fantastic little guy? If you feel this is you, come to our main ranch location to meet Pedro, the companion you never knew you needed!Pedro is the absolute sweetest little boy, BUT he has a very hard time trusting people. He will not be your typical dog that comes up to you for pets and kisses and cuddles. He will be the shy dog that hides a little fearful, and then slowly will work his way to you. He does better with another dog he can be friends with and learn from. Much of his progress here at the ranch stems from him learning to be open and friendly from other dogs he sees getting attention. Also, he will do almost anything for a little but scratch!Because of Pedros anxiety, he will need a questionnaire filled out ahead of time before meeting him. He will take several meet and greets, but he is worth every second of the time that is put into him by his future adopter.You can meet Pedro at our main ranch location or emails dogswmr@gmail.com

Story
Welcome Lottie to the party! At close to 20lbs, Lottie is a sweet little gal who may take her time to get to know you, but she is very good natured. She can get a little nervous when first being handled, but she just needs time to adjust. She will be the one to come to you. And Lottie communicates in growls, and can be particular about people putting their hands near her, so we don`t think she should be in a home with kids. Lottie gets along ok with our other dogs, so if you have another dog, we recommend bringing yours along for a meeting. Lottie is ready for a lotta love, because she deserves a great forever home that will give her all the love and time she needs! Lottie is located at:Going to the Dogs & Cats Resale StoreCottonwood Mall10000 Coors Bypass NWUse the Main Entrance Between MOR & JC PenneyAlbuquerque, NM 87114Phone: (505) 867-5347Adoption hours at this location are 11am-4pm, Mon-Sat, and 12pm-4pm Sun(Please arrive by 3pm to have plenty of time to meet with our adoptable pets)

Meet this beautiful big boy who is just the biggest cuddle bug in the world!! He is very shy at first but when he gets comfortable he just wants cuddles and loves. He is very strong on a leash and the staff is actively working with him on this. He shows signs of separation anxiety, so he will need someone who works from home. Phineas needs to be with a dog his size or bigger. You can meet Phineas at our main ranch location or email dogswmr@gmail.com for more information.
