Story
I’m a middle-aged guy who would love a silly Billy forever home. I’m a happy, handsome guy- Just look at my smile in my photo and you’ll know exactly what you're getting. A team member says, "Billy loves spending time near his human friends. That big ol' noggin of his is made for being in someone's lap, just snuggling and chilling. This silly boy thinks he's a lap dog, and he would love nothing more than a home where he can stick by you and be your BFF." I was so happy to spend a little time outside of the shelter and my foster family reported that I am housebroken and love to sun myself outside. I am good on leash and love walks, and also enjoy a good game of fetch. They also called me curious and a cuddle bug, and say that I love belly rubs and bones. They loved how relaxed and laidback I was. Do I sound like the perfect dog for you? I hope so!

Story
Hey! Zoe here, and I’ve earned my stripes for sweetness and loving people. I also love playing fetch, soft rope toys and squeaky toys. I’m curious, especially when it comes to birds, cats and small critters - I just can’t resist, so I may chase. I’m smart and already know sit, come and hug, as well as house and crate trained. I’m kind of unsure and a bit afraid around other dogs and would really prefer to have you all to myself. You'll love my unusual, gorgeous brindle coat. Come and check me out so I can completely melt your heart. A team member says, "Zoe is a total love bug. She adores affection and attention, and she's a big fan of giving kisses to show she's happy to be spending time with you. She walks like a lady on a leash and is very smart. She already has some excellent training, and she is very eager to please if you want to teach her more."

Story
Hi friends, I'm Wiley! I’m a big, happy-go-lucky goofball with a heart just as large as my smile. I bring a whole lot of joy wherever I go, especially if treats and pets are involved. I know how to walk well on a leash, and I'm always excited to see you and spend time together outside. I've also been polite to the other dogs I’ve met. People tell me I’m very sweet, and I won’t argue with that. I’ve also got a pretty unique, slightly silly look that seems to make humans smile, which is perfect, because I love to make people happy. If you’re looking for a sturdy buddy who's gentle at heart and full of love, I think we might be a great match. Come say hi today - I can't wait to meet you!

Story
If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you with her whole heart, Polly is your girl. She may take a little time to size up new situations, but once she knows you’re her person, she becomes a loyal, affectionate companion who sticks right by your side. With just a bit of patience at the start, she’ll reward you with devotion, silliness and so much love. Polly is a fun, spirited girl who enjoys chasing balls and rope toys, showing off her zoomies and splashing in a kiddie pool on hot days. She’s also been an office dog, happily napping between play sessions and cuddling with her favorite stuffies. Smart and eager to please, she walks nicely on leash, knows “sit” and “trade it” and is working on new commands and building confidence meeting new people. Polly is becoming more excited about making dog friends, too. She’s had successful playgroups and could really bond with the right canine companion. If you have doggos at home, bring them along for a meet and greet. If you’re hoping for a loyal, loving dog, Polly just might be your perfect match. Come say hi today! A team member says, "Polly is a sweet girl who thrives on affection and playtime. She would make a great hiking/walking partner." Another team member says, "Polly is a delight - once she knows you're a friend, she's playful and friendly. She has a sense of humor, too - her signature move is to juke at the last moment when she's returning a ball or toy to you during fetch before turning and bringing it back to you. (She'd make an excellent running back.) She's a smart girl who's very treat-motivated and eager to please."

Hey, Dahlia here. It takes me about 2 seconds for me to warm up, but then I’m your best bud ready for snuggles and adventure. Check out these cute freckles on my nose. They’re saying “Please Boop me!” I love every person that I meet! Once I get some energy outlet, I am happy to cuddle up on your lap! Our volunteers who read to us say that I'm one of their favorites because I am such a good listener. Come on in and meet me. Take me home, and together we’ll bloom with love.

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."

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!

Jango is a sweet, goofy guy looking for a forever home with his new best friend. Could you be the perfect human to take him home? He is a sweet, young, and energetic pup! He loves treats and and knows how to sit on command... and is ready to learn more tricks too. Jango would do best with a dog who allows him to play at his own pace and would love to meet your dog before going home! A team member says, "Jango is a sweet, sweet boy. He adores spending time with human friends and checks in with you frequently for pets and affection, which is nice because this boy has the softest fur! He walks very nicely on a leash, and he knows how to sit. If you're looking for a new BFF, Jango is your guy."
