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
Echo is a sweet dog who experiences the world a little differently than most dogs, due to the fact that he is deaf. This has made his other senses of sight and smell even more important to him! He loves to go for a walk, and is anxious to meet any and all people who happen to be out in his world! He may be a large dog, but he doesn't know that, and is anxious to jump up on the benches with his special person to share that space and companionship. He would thrive in a home that understands his special needs and is able to give him the love, patience, and time to teach him the sign language tricks and commands to make him the perfect forever family member.

Story
Buttercup is a young beautiful pup who loves to please. She walks great on a leash, knows come and sit and takes treats gently. She likes to chase a ball (she doesn't bring it back...yet) and likes to play tug with toys. Buttercup also likes to just chill in the grass or being a couch potato, too! Ruff! A team member says, "Buttercup is a delight! She's friendly and funny - she gets the cutest zoomies when she gets a chance to stretch her legs. She will proactively sit in front of a door or gate and wait patiently for you to open it. She also likes to hop up on a bench to sit next to you and give you kisses."

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
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."

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."

She has the softest, most gentle demeanor and leans into you for comfort, offering sweet little kisses in return.

After everything she’s given, Toph is ready to settle down and be someone’s very special girl.
