Story
Kiko is a sweet, sensitive boy who`s learning to navigate the world one paw print at a time. This shy guy needs a patient family who understands that the best things take time and trust us, Kiko is absolutely worth the wait!Once comfortable, Kiko`s an independent guy who enjoys his space with occasional cuddles. He`s curious, treat motivated, and still figuring out this whole affection thing! He`s discovering that occasional cuddles might not be so bad after all! Kiko prefers calm environments and does well with female dogs and respectful males who appreciate peaceful coexistence. High energy? Not his scene. He`s more of a `let`s take it easy` kind of guy.Kiko needs an experienced home that will let him blossom at his own pace. Ready to be his patient guide? He`s waiting for the right match!

Story
Meet Gertrude! Gertrude is an adorable 5–6-year-old, 56-lb Shar-Pei/American Bulldog mix who is ready to find her forever family—a family that will appreciate her gentle heart, her calm nature, and all the love she has to give. This sweet girl enjoys the company of other relaxed, easygoing dogs and is currently thriving in a foster home with four mellow canine friends. Rambunctious or dominant dogs aren’t really her style, and she has not been evaluated with cats. Gertrude has been around children and does wonderfully, especially with older, dog-savvy kids who enjoy giving her attention. With her intuitive, people-focused personality, Gertrude may even have the potential to become an emotional support or therapy dog with a bit of training. She is incredibly attuned to human emotions and loves being close, especially when someone needs comfort. If you are looking for a loyal best friend, a laid-back snuggle buddy, and a daily source of smiles… Gertrude is your girl. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Gertrude has been diagnosed with dry eye, which requires lifelong daily eye drops. Fortunately, she’s extremely easy to medicate—and the drops are affordable (around $30/month). She knows they help her feel better!

Story
Tom Hardy is a handsome, versatile and charismatic guy who loves dogs ... just like his human namesake! This sweet guy came to Animal Humane New Mexico from Ruidoso after the devastating floods this summer, and in that time he's shown what a well-mannered gem he is. He's gotten to spend time as an office dog buddy and in a home environment, getting some breaks from the shelter. Here are his specialties: Knows SIT! Can SHAKE with both paws! WALKS great on leash! Couch POTATO! Plays FETCH and brings the ball back! PLAYFUL but not rowdy! Understands "go lay down"! Takes treats very GENTLY! Has shown himself to be TIDY and house trained (though every pup needs a little grace adjusting to a new home at first)! Enjoys RIDING in cars! Has done well with DOGS! (Tom is a little too interested in cats, so a feline-free home is best.) Tom Hardy is also a PAWS dog, which means he comes with 1 year of FREE vet care. This sweet boy has so much affection to give and is just waiting for the perfect family to call his own. Will you please give this handsome guy a forever home for the holidays? A team member adds, " I’ve been reading to Tom Hardy for a while, and he is one of my favorite dogs I’ve met at Animal Humane. He is a perfect dog—sweet, gentle and silly. He is so goofy and lovable. I don’t understand why he hasn’t been snatched up immediately."

Story
I think a good name for me would be "Spot". Can you guess why? Look how cute I am in my picture playing tug with the leash. Oh, another pup just told me humans don't like that too much. They prefer you tug on a toy so I promise to work on that. I can be a little picky about the canine buddies that I prefer. If you have a current pup at home, bring them with you when you come to meet me. I'd have to give them the seal of approval. I also need a secure yard with a tall fence. Need to have enough attention at home to keep me from investigating other places. A team member adds, "Littles is the sweetest young mama dog. She acts tough when dogs walk by, but she’s really very sweet and loving. She takes treats gently and she walks well on leash. She has the cutest little wiggle while walking and a very sweet smile." Come meet Littles today and find out what a darling she is!
