Story
We have some very cute and very playful and very happy little pittie/shepherd mix puppies available for adoption. We are guessing on their breed mixes but pittie/shepherd is what we suspect based on appearance so we can expect these darlings to reach 50-60 lbs when fully grown. Their birthdate is June 1, 2026. Janet, Marie, and Sage are girls while Donny, Michael, Greyson, and Cedar are boys. These darlings are being well socialized in foster care, working on house training, and have been around dogs of all sizes. They have age appropriate puppy shots and once adopted Desert Haven will help with their remaining veterinary requirements of additional puppy shots, rabies vaccine, and spay or neuter surgery. Are you ready to have a more joyful life with a puppy? One of these sweetie pies will be perfect! Reach out at 575-740-0643 to schedule a meeting with the puppies so you can see which one feels like the best fit for your family. These puppies are being fostered in Elephant Butte, New Mexico and our foster moms are flexible with meetings seven days a week. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2026, 2:55 pm

Story
Hello there! My name is Lucky and it's really a misnomer because you're going to be the lucky one to have me in your life. And I'm not blowing smoke up your butt. I'm that awesome.    By all accounts I'm sweet, snuggly, and so very loving. I double dog dare you to find anyone at Desert Haven that says otherwise. They all love me because I'm so lovable. Well, truth be told, every dog here is lovable and the volunteers here love every dog. But if you pressed I know there are a few of them that would point to me and whisper, "He's My Favorite!" No one here wants any dog to feel like they're not the favorite but here's why I rise to the top of the heap of Darling Dogs of Desert Haven.    First off: I meet people in a friendly and happy way, from young to old. No one has to concern themselves with, "How should we do this introduction?" because I am just easy. I keep four on the floor, have a mega-watt smile, and wag my tail in delight. I'm big at 75 pounds but I'm gentle and very friendly.    Secondly: I love dogs and have had many dog friends in my three years of life on this Earth. I've lived well with small dogs and big dogs. I love to play and am a congenial fellow. If there were a pageant I would be a shoe-in for Mr. Congeniality.   Third: I am so very loving. I will snuggle right into your lap if you'll have me. If you think I'm too big for that, I will lay right next to you. I like some part of me touching some part of you. I love spooning and all things affection. Activity-wise, I am up for a walk, going to the dog park or the brewery for a cold one, playtime in the yard or doggie play dates -- but at the end of the day there simply must be snuggle time. I'm a world class snuggler and it's part of my charm!   Lastly, here are some more nuggets about me: I'm housetrained, crate trained, a perfect car traveler, a great eater, neat and tidy (I wouldn't dare mess anything up in the house), love long naps, and will not settle for anything less than being treated beautifully and with great care. I am up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped. I'm healthy, happy, and full of life. My adoption fee is $75.   To sum it up: I am one of the best dogs you'll ever meet. I've got an enormous head and an even bigger heart. I love and attach and make the house a home. I came into rescue because my person passed away but I'm no longer grieving. I'm ready! I'm ready for my next great love. Is it you?   Love, Lucky  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2026, 2:55 pm

Story
Hello! My name is Toffee and I'm a little girl who was born on March 24. My mama is 16 lbs and is a Dachshund and my papa is 35 lbs and is a Brittany Spaniel so best guess is that when I'm fully grown I'll be somewhere between 10-20 lbs. I am a sweetheart and love to play. I am all the good and delicious things puppies are! I'm excited to meet you!

Story
Hi there! My name is Ozzy. I'm probably a Staffie/Boxer mix and we think I'm going to be large sized and totally awesome when I get bigger. Right now I'm seven months old and around 45 pounds. I'm already a sturdy and agile puppy at such a young age. I romp and play and plop. My muscles are developing nicely. Okay, so that's the story about my physique and why I'm so good looking and beautiful. Here's some about my play style. I LOVE TO PLAY! I am an excellent roommate with dogs at Desert Haven and I learn so much from having doggie friends. I share food, toys, and lounge spots. I think it would be super duper to join a family with a resident dog or dogs. Playtimes are the best, siestas together are gold. Being with dogs is my favorite! Plus, other puppies and dogs make good role models. I can learn how to be a great puppy and an even better dog from dog friends. Because, truth be told, I'm a Nervous Nelly. Ugh, do they have a more masculine name for the phenomenon of being shy and inexperienced? How about Nervous Ned; that's better. So, I'm a Nervous Ned! In a nutshell, what I am is a bit of a scaredy-cat who approaches life cautiously and then when I have good experiences I learn that things aren't so scary after all. For good reason. You try starting out life in the streets and growing up without people around then being rescued and all of a sudden all the people want to get to know you and be with you! It's been a little nerve-wracking for me if I'm being honest. First they taught me what a leash was all about. Then once I got used to being around the leash then they wanted me to wear it and go for walks while I was at the end of it! If it weren't for hot dogs and helpful doggie roommates, I wouldn't even be close to where I am today. Today, I love going for walks with my doggie friends, I love playtimes at Playland, and I explore the agility equipment. I love having challenges set up for me like, Hey Ozzy here's a new person for you to meet! And then I can learn to be less afraid each time. I'm learning and growing and I'm thankful to the volunteers at Desert Haven and my good buddies for showing me patience and love. My birthday is October 31, 2025 so I'm a Halloween baby. In this season of my life I'd probably be dressed up as a Chicken bawk bawk. But as I learn and grow and am given more and more positive puppy experiences, next Halloween I bet I can dress up as Braveheart! My family will be the most important part of my journey. Will you be my family? Come meet me and let's find out. Love, Ozzy P.S. I'm healthy, neutered, and up to date on my shots. I also have a microchip. My adoption fee is $75 and here is the link to the adoption application https://www.deserthavenanimalrescue.org/ P.P.S. I love you!   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2026, 2:55 pm

Story
Hello there! Willy here and as you can see I’m not too shabby to look at. When people meet me they get all googley ooogley mooogly eyed then go on and on about how handsome I am. While they’re waxing poetic on my appearance, I’m inching closer and closer so we can get to know each other.  In my opinion who cares about my looks. All I care about is having a good family to take care of me. I’m still a puppy as I just turned one year old in June. I’m house trained and I walk nice on the leash. I’m good with kids, dogs, cats and I meet people in a friendly way. I am up-to-date on my shots, neutered, have a microchip, and I’m current on flea and tick medication. I weigh 38 pounds, am Aussie mix and probably fully grown, and my adoption fee is $75.  I really like getting petted and brushed and I am eager to be part of a solid family unit. I’d like a family where everyone thinks I’m important, everyone helps me learn, and everyone loves me to bits and bits. I think I’m worth it! And so will you. Come to meet me and see.  Love, Willy   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2026, 2:55 pm
