Story
Hello! My name is Oso, which means “bear” in Spanish—but don’t let the name fool you! I’m a gentle giant with a heart full of love. I was saved just three hours before my time was up at the county shelter, and even though I’m a senior, I have so much life and love left to give! I’m all about people—I love them, like really, really love them. After spending my whole life outdoors, I’m absolutely thrilled by the comfort of indoor air conditioning and a doggy door that lets me wander into the yard whenever I want. Life is good! One of my favorite things is carrying around my stuffed toys, especially the small ones—they make me so happy! I also love chasing a ball and am the best boy when it’s time for a bath. Treats are my weakness, especially chicken tacos (yum!). I’m looking for a home where I can be the only dog because I just want to soak up all the love for myself. I’m easygoing, never bark, and my tail wiggles with joy when I meet new friends. I’m dreaming of a forever home where I can give lots of kisses, enjoy scratchies, and just be your loyal companion for the rest of my days. If you can offer me a place to call home, please reach out to my foster mom, Jenn, at 602-710-4143. I can’t wait to meet you! ❤️ I’m a courtesy post for Valley Dogs Rescue.

Story
Felix is a 2-year-old neutered Husky/Australian Cattle Dog mix who was rescued just hours before euthanasia in Roswell, NM—and he’s been making the most of his second chance ever since. He’s a smart, energetic, food-motivated boy who loves puzzle toys, running, and being part of the action. Felix thrives with structure and active owners who enjoy walks, hikes, or a big yard where he can stretch his legs. He knows basic commands (sit, down, wait) and is eager to learn more. Felix bonds deeply with his people and loves attention. He has done well with similarly sized or confident dogs but has a high prey drive and is not suitable for homes with cats, small dogs, or small animals. He is best suited for an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens, as he can be sensitive to sudden movements. Felix is ready for a home that understands him and will give him the guidance, activity, and loyalty he deserves.Theresa Meyer ( Foster Mom) Friends of Roswell Animalshttps://forarescue.org

Story
Some dogs find their way to rescue. Rex was thrown into it — literally. At just six weeks old, Rex was thrown from a moving vehicle. He was tiny, frightened, and had a broken leg. But here's what that little puppy did: He survived. He healed. And somehow, through all of it, he never stopped being loving. Rex is a Malamute/Beagle mix born December 18, 2025, and he is proof that resilience and sweetness can exist in the same soul. Still just a pup, he has already been through more than most dogs will ever face — and yet his defining trait isn't what happened to him. It's how deeply affectionate he is with the people around him. His leg has fully healed. His spirit never needed to. Rex isn't looking for pity — he's looking for a couch to curl up on, a hand to lean into, and a family to call his own. He deserves someone who will look at him and say this one. This is the one we've been waiting for! If you're ready to give Rex the home he should have had from the very beginning, we'd love to hear from you. Rex is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Go to www.ThePuppyMamma.com to submit and inquiry. Adoption Fee is $250
