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
Meet Muppet! This handsome 4-year-old boy is ready to steal hearts and find his true forever home! Muppet originally came to us as a stray in 2023 and, through no fault of his own, has found his way back into our care. Now, he’s on the lookout for the perfect family to love him forever. Muppet is a playful guy who lives for a good game of tug-of-war! By day two in foster care, he had already convinced his foster brother to join in on the fun (they’re still trying to decide who the champion really is ). He would be happiest in a home with another playful dog buddy, though he’d do well as a solo pup too if he gets plenty of playtime and love. When he’s not busy showing off his tug-of-war skills, Muppet enjoys leisurely walks, but his true happy place? A backyard where he can run, stretch out, and soak up the sunshine&#226&#152&#128&#239&#184&#143—so we’re making a fenced yard a must-have for this sweet guy.    Muppet is up to date on vaccines, has had recent bloodwork which the vet was very happy with, and is all set to start his new chapter. Like many Shar Pei, he does have some allergies, so he’ll need routine skin and ear care—but he’s a champ about it. He’s proven to be trustworthy in the house (not a fan of the kennel, but who can blame him?). While he hasn’t been around much kids in foster care, we don’t see any concerning behavior and believe he’d do just fine with dog-savvy children. He did meet a few kiddos on Halloween and loved them! &#226&#156&#168 Muppet has so much love to give and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and sunshine to his forever family. Could that be you?&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 He is currently fostered in Rapid City, South Dakota Please visit www.peipeople.com to fill out an application   December 4, 2025, 3:06 pm

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?
