Niko was found as a stray and not in very good condition. He is gaining weight and looking much better, however he has had little to no training and needs a home with someone who is familiar with the breed and can work with him.

Story
Unfortunately, we need to rehome our dog. Adopted from Santa Fe animal shelter 7 years ago. She is super sweet. No health issues. She has never bitten anyone. Good with cats and other dogs. Not aggressive but she will bark at suspicious things. She does not habitually bark. No, she is not a pitbull. She's a Blackmouth Cur / mutt. Thank you for helping her out! 😀🦴🐕🐩🐶🐾

Story
Oreo is a 5-year-old heeler mix with a sweet personality and a heart full of love. This handsome guy is potty trained and always tries his best to make his people proud. He adores attention, enjoys being close, and has a gentle charm that makes everyone smile.When it’s time for a walk, Oreo’s excitement shows — he may pull on the leash at first because he can’t wait to get outside and explore. But once he settles into the walk, he mellows right out, trotting happily along and enjoying the fresh air by your side.Oreo is the perfect blend of fun and affectionate. Whether it’s a cozy evening at home or a nice stroll through the neighborhood, he’s just happy to be with you.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a big heart and a zest for life, Oreo is ready to be your new best friend.
